TAFs

Modified By Tal Reichert on 6/18/2014 2:32:43 PM

I'm not sure whether this is a request for a new feature vs a report for a bug (after all, what is a feature if not a bug with seniority), but I wanted to make the following two requests/observations:

1. Raw TAFs are presented as one, hard to interpret line. Can they be broken to separate lines the same way aviationweather.gov presents them? Basically put a newline before each FM, TEMPO or BECMG.

2. I have not seen examples of TEMPO yet, but BECMG is displayed in the translated text as Becoming without any indication of the times to which it refers. That turns far less useful.

Thanks!

Re: TAFs

Tal,

Good feedback and it is actually a new request. I also like having each "Period Change/Reference" on seperated lines, but guess many have become spoiled to looking at the Decoded. Also, needs the Time noted as well if available. I'll put this on our Wish List. Nice one!

Shane,

The missing times in the decoded text is a long-standing bug that I've reported a few times in the Beta forum: www.iflygps.com/SUPPORT/Forum/tabid/1...

Tal, both of these are addressed in our latest v8 beta release - which will be in full release in a couple of weeks (fingers crossed) Thanks! Walter
