Pirep Display

Display Pireps on the map. It's like digging in the dark trying to find a PIREP in iFLY. I suspect it is just a label on the Wx tab that is not populated since I can see old and new pireps on the FFA map and skyvector (over BNA) but not see it reported at all in iFLY. A simple exclamation point near the metar dot would keep me quiet for now. Its a pretty big deal for me for some reason.

When will iFly be able to display pireps on the map? Actually, I'm not even sure you ever provide ANY pireps. :( (Yes I'm complaining)

Re: Pirep Display

Great idea, kicking this one up to devs to implement.

Re: Pirep Display

How would that be possible without an internet connection? I don't believe pireps would be a feature of ads-b, so the only tine they would be available to view would be at an FBO or a hotspot prior to takeoff. Pireps should be dynamic, otherwise they would be stale by the time you needed them.

Re: Pirep Display

While I agree that live pireps would be ideal, I don't think that old ones would be useless. If I've been watching the weather and severe turbulence has been forecast for the last 5 hours, and the next 4. If I see 2, 3, & 4 hour old pireps all saying that it's smooth, I'd likely gamble that it's going to remain smooth.
