iFly GPS Forum

This is going to be a VERY useful feature.

Yes, it's obvious how to bring up the info. My only suggestion is to definitely change the color...currently it blends into the chart. Need a color that is eye catching so you can glance at the chart and immediately pick it out without hunting for it.

Very nice job. Thanks, Walter.

I'll add my vote for a different color. Possibly the purple/magenta already used for the route line. Maybe a different shape, perhaps the two color "V" used to depict a localizer course in some diagrams.

While I think the iFly is desirable even without this feature, a few more items come to mind.

In the screen shots, it looks as though the "end" of the approach course is the departure end of runway 17.

Would it be possible to have the optioin to have the course line steer from the present aircraft position to the initiall point of the runway extension line?

Walter,

Your company's responsiveness to the user community is just great. Thank you!

I like the idea of a runway extension. I don't know the best way to choose which runway, and which end of the runway, to extend. I expect as you simulate it, one or two methods will seem best in the context of your experience and knowledge of the system as a whole. I trust your decision in this area as the other aspects of the iFly are intuitive to most of your user community (me included).

Like others who have made comments, I think it would be a good idea to select a different color than yellow for the runway extension on the sectional/TAC display. I think it would be best to use a color that is not generally used for each particular screen display mode (sectional/TAC, low enroute, vector, vector night), which I think means that the color of the runway extension may need to vary between screen displays.

I am looking forward to the next software update.

Regards,

Jim
