Hi iFlyGPS team,

I just bought a 740b, and love the screen brightness in sunlight, as I fly a bubble canopy Nanchang CJ-6. I hooked the audio into my headset and flew yesterday, and I got the same "ping" for all alerts

Is there a way to configure different sounds for the types of alerts? There should be different sounds or spoken words for terrain, air space, traffic, etc.

For your next upgrade, please consider adding Bluetooth so I can get rid of the wires

I guess Support never comes here to read customer comments ...

Goodmorning Ed,

Just out of compassion I confirm that I read your question yesterday. Unfortunately I can not help you, I am (also) just a user with a tablet. Rest asured, there are more of us, you are not alone... blush

I, too, am just a customer.  The iFly folks do make appearances here on the forums relatively frequently, but on an irregular schedule.

For direct support inquiries, it's best to call them on the phone.  For general feedback, a post on this forum will eventually be read, and if you have a clear question, you'll likely get a response.  

For feature requests, a post in the "iFly Wish List" area is your best bet:  http://www.iflygps.com/Support/Forum/forumid/8/scope/threads

To answer your original question:  The alert tones are not user-configurable.

Hi guys,

I did open a support request, and the answers were

1. Nothing available today, just the one 'ding'

2. "Good ideas", will pass to development

 

From my point of view, they have all of the data they need to make this work.

Step 1: Different tones for alert type - when they trigger the visual alert, just use different tones (pretty easy)

Step 2. User configurable alerts (harder)

  • Tone or spoken alert, e.g. Traffic, Air Space, terrain
  • Distance settings
  • When ADS-B traffic shows Red, "Traffic, 3-4 o'clock, 3 miles, plus 500, closing/departing"
  • Alert mute

What other features do you guys think would be great?

Ed
