Let face it, the instruments list is bigger than our screen, So why not 'Layered them", make them populate the screen, (Re)Progressively as you see fit one tap at the time, (on a dedicated button), you will fill each Layer as you wish, that way you can have as many or little, information as you want. just a Thought

Good Day Y'all

You can do this now by creating custom instrument "templates". Start by selecting Setup > Custom Instruments. Select a Layout (Basic), then add, remove, move, resize, change color & configure the instruments as desired. Once you have the page to your liking, save it under a new name. I've created a number of custom layouts, each containing more/different instruments, colors and sizes, all with different names (Basic 1, Basic 2, Basic 1-Large, Basic 2-Large, etc.). I start with a layout (template) with all the instruments I want, then save (Basic 5), then I remove an instrument or 2 and save (Basic 4), etc. By the time I get to Basic 1, all my instruments have been removed. This way, my instruments don't jump around on the screen when I step from from Basic 1 to Basic 2, etc. There doesn't seem to be a limit on the number of custom instrument page you can create and store.

I started a thread discussing this in the iFly Wish-List sub-forum: https://www.iflygps.com/Support/Forum/forumid/8/threadid/31703/scope/posts

Thanks Andre, I did not know this trick, but how do you flip-flop from one to the other quickly during flight?

Select the "Inst Group" icon in the lower right and then choose the next sequentialed custom layout. Sorry for the confusion.
