Sync'ing works but partially

Sync'ing from tablet to PC (laptop Win7) sorta worked for data. Opened tablet and made some changes to a flight plan, saved them on tablet, then told the tablet to sync to server. Got a message that all files on server were current. So I thought, "ok, it uploaded the changes in the background." (yes, the tablet is linked to the home net and not stratux.) Opened iFly on the Win7 PC and tried to sync and got the "already sync'ed message, BUT the changes to the flight plan did not show up on the PC.

Click on Menu, Setup, Sync Devices, then click on the device that is in the list that is your tablet (i.e. it's *not* labeled as "Windows"), choose Flight Plans (should be checked already) then click on Download.

Thanks, that's exactly how I did it. However, as said above, it does not catch the more recent updates.

Re: Sync'ing works but partially

OK. Maybe I misunderstood. But you said that you got the "already synced" message, and that only happens when you try to force an *upload*. It doesn't happen for a download, which is where you said it happened. So I made the assumption that you actually did was upload on the Windows machine and then upload on your tablet too, which doesn't get you what you want.

Sorry if I'm telling you to do what you're already doing, in which case it sounds like there's a bug.

But again, that "already synced" message doesn't happen on a download. At least for me. So I was explaining how to download your flight plan onto the tablet that you uploaded from the Windows machine.
