I actually thought this was already a feature.  Did it once exist and get removed, or am I just hallucinating.

I like to plan my fuel tank swaps near an airport, just in case.  It would be nice if, when dragging the map to put a target under the dynamic distance ring, iFly would do the math to show how long it is estimated to take to reach that distance using the current groundspeed.

I.e., I see an aiprot along my route of flight.  I drag the map so the dynamic ring overlays that airport, and it says "63nm".  Would be nice for it to also do the math for 63nm / <groundspeed> and show that time in hh:mm (or just mm, if less than an hour; no seconds req'd), also.

It will show you the ETE based on your current groundspeed, but this requires you to be in flight - so that piece if data isn't shown if you are on the ground. I think it would be reasonable to use your profile cruise speed if you're not in flight, I'll add that change to the wishlist.

Thanks!
Walter

Hmm...  OK, I *thought* I'd seen that before.  I am currently using the latest Android beta, and it is *not* showing up in flight, so something's wonky there.

It's a setting that you can turn on and off, I think under screen settings. Or dynamic distance ring. I saw it this weekend.

Thanks, Jeff--I saw your post in the beta forum too.  I'll check that out--I bet that's my problem.  (Now I wonder how it got changed, though...)
