iFly GPS Forum

Pielit's reply shows an interesting usability problem. I wonder how many of us aren't using iFly to its full potential, either because we're not aware of a feature or because it's not easy to get to.

I realize that iFly can't sponsor a few hundred pilots to fly in a sim to do a useability study, like Microsoft does. (Although given Win8, Microsoft must have ignored what users told it.) In lieu of that, perhaps iFly can post videos from the cockpit of Walter, Shane, Brian, etc. using their iFly's in flight (in challenging situations, where it would be used to its fullest) so that we can see how best to use it? Kinda like a King course on using a Garmin or similar. Flying = fun. Sounds like a win-win. :-)

Jim & all,

Here is a tip: With version 9 you can "Pin" plates and diagrams to your flight plan. It's like a Favorites List, only it's specific to a flight plan. And they will save/load with the plan too. It's easy to do: While viewing a plate touch the Plates icon on the right side of the screen, then check "Pin This [Plate]"

Now when you view your Flight Plan, you will see a list of pinned plates. Touching will show the plate.

Cheers,

Walter
