Class B Warning

Took my first cross country with iFly700 last weekend. As I approached Seattle class B airspace ( I was actually above it), a huge advisory panel appeared with 2 options: INHIBIT or ACKNOWLEDGE. Under 'inhibit' there are several options, including 'for entire flight'. I selected this one, but as soon as I came to another 'zone' of the class B, the big panel appeared again. I finally just used the 'acknowledge' option as there were fewer buttons to push, but had to do it 4 or 5 times crossing the entire class B.

Any ideas on how to really 'inhibit for entire flight' ?

Re: Class B Warning

I think the trouble is the iFly sees each segment of the airspace as individual warning areas. So, when you inhibit or acknolowdege you are doing so for the particular area only.

One option is to change what warnings you receive and how the are reported. Under [setup]--[alerts & warnings]--[airspace alerts] you can select the type (Class B, etc). Then how it should report, if at all. An altitude buffer, and the alert distance.

These features are pretty cool once you tweak them to your liking. For starters, you may want to change the alert popup message to just an alert button. You can also use simulation mode and adjust these settings on the fly to see what works best for you. I actually was working on this tonight and think I've got it setup pretty well now.

Re: Class B Warning

It *should* be considering the entire class B as one unit, and acknowledge or inhibit should work as described. I'm considering this a bug and forwarding to our dev team for repair.
Thanks,

Re: Class B Warning

I have this problem, too. I thought that 'inhibit for entire flight' is all airspace warnings but it doesn't work that way.
