Re: Weird Box Following Me on IFLY

I love it! It's a fantastic (but, admittedly, a bit slow) cross-country machine (it'll do 80 knots all day). It cuts through turbulence so no fighting the winds like with fixed-wing. My longest trip so far is Maryland to Texas. Very comfortable, very capable. But unless you put 145+hp engine on it, you're not going to be using floats with it. The Rotax 914 I have is adequate for two-up, max fuel and MTOW, but if I added floats I likely would be a bit heavy with 2-up.

Re: Weird Box Following Me on IFLY

Another piece of weirdness (Pressure Altitude is off!)... an aircraft at 99,900 feet above me and ascending.... It's not a box, but it's defnitely not right. In the second after I took the photo, I reached up to touch the icon but it disappeared. (I guess it kept going up (as indicated) and disappeared into the ethersphere! )

Re: Weird Box Following Me on IFLY

Robert, you should report this to the Government, attention Area 51. Since iFly and ADSB are flawless, this must have been an alien ship or abduction.

Do you happen to have ADSB Logging enabled? If so, please send me that ADSB log (Send Bug Report => Select Log File => find the ADSB log).

If you'd like to enable ADSB Logger, do: "Menu => About => Connected Devices => Wireless Device => Check the ADSB Logger box. Then each time iFly starts up, answer "yes" to keep ADSB Logger enabled.
