David,

In Sim Mode, you can plan a flight, set altitudes and then fly the flight using the Sim controls to simulate your flight. The software will make the VP active and you'll see how airspaces, terrain, Vertical Speed to Target works and more, just like if you were flying the plane. All the Terain, Airspace and obstacle databases are active in Sim mode, and will active change depending on the phase of flight or proximity to an airport.

Have you tried planning a flight with landing points and a set cruise altitude, and then flown the route with Sim mode. If this is not working, then we have a bug, but we do extensive testing in sim mode and it seems to be working fine on my tablets and devices.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you Alerts, VP, etc is not working in Sim Mode.

David,

Try to pan to put the red + "crosshair" on the departure waypoint. Then "Begin Simulation" in the About Menu. Sim Mode starts at the center of the sreen so puting the red "+" at any point on the screen allows you to begin anywhere.

Once you begin the Sim, then the small box of controls will show up. The two to the upper left are Speed +/-, the two to the upper right are Altitude +/- and the two on the bottom are Track Left / Right. Use these arrows to change Speed, Altitude and your Direction. You should see the Speed, Track and Altitude begin to change. If you are not seeing this, please feel free to contact our support team at 888-200-5129.

I also recommend to make sure you have the latest version of iFly GPS. You can search iFly GPS on the Play Store for an update. The current version is 8.4.84. You can check your version by touching Menu -> About -> Version & Contact. Then look under the iFly Version.

Look forward to hearing back from you. Have a great day.
