Perfect. As always, thank you for making such a great piece of software and being so customer-focused.

Re: TFR's

As I think that my question is related to this discussion, I decided to post it here:

Is there a way to check whether iFly successfully updated the TFR information and how old it is?
I spent quite some time searching the menus, but couldn't find anything.

Cheers,

Oliver

Re: TFR's

Oliver, good question. We should add that to our "Databases" section in Chart Expirations dialog; I'll put that on the todo list.

Here is a workaround: TFRs are updated in the same pass as METAR data, so if those are current, so are TFRs. In the current production version you can switch to weather mode, if you have METAR data than TFRs ares also current.

Tal,

In the new Android version, "Active and Future TFRs" are now shown. However, we were just talking about this earlier. Adding an option to "Show All TFRs" or Show Active TFRs Only" to the software. This is already on our Wishlist and looks to be added in the near future. Good feedback.

How about showing future TFR's as a different color, like Orange and active TFR's as Red; instead of all TFR's as Red?
