Its in the queue waiting for review by apple... Version 1.0 took 3.5 weeks to pass, and by the time it was completed (which was last Thursday) the next version was ready to ship, so 1.0 is withheld from sale and 1.1 will launch in a week.. or so (entirely dependant on apple's review process)
Thanks,
Bevan..

When your iThingie gets short of memory it signals the foreground app to reduce memory usage. If it is still short of memory it then kills background apps (starting at the biggest) until there is enough free memory. If there is still not enough memory then the foreground app is also killed.
You can have the app running for hours, you put it in the background, do something else, bring it back to the foreground and it crashes in seconds.
I see many resource-hungry apps do this. Although nobody can say for certain, my gut feeling is that you bring the memory hungry one to the foreground and before it's had a chance to clear the stuff from the background, iOS panics about overall system RAM usage and exits even the foreground app.
This is why we have gone out of our way in OzRunways to make sure that if you start it back up, it picks up where you left off.

Manually killing background apps wont make a difference - they will be killed anyway, to keep the foreground app running.
With the iphone 4 when trying to use Naips, it hangs. Kill off hibernating apps manually and the Naips responds. So I am not sure the auto kill off is 100% effective.
Seen it many times now so can you explain this? I am not the only one to see the same things.

I have just bought another ipad.
I am going to give my old ipad to my daughter and keep the 64Gb ipad2 for me.
Is there an easy way to transfer my ozrunway membership from my old ipad1 to my new ipad2? I really cant afford purchasing another copy of it?

Scampi,
Just look at what the user ID is on the old ipad and put it into the new one, then delete OzRunways from the old one.
If it gives you an error when try to move to the new iPad*, send us a support email via the website and we'll transfer it for you.
Cheers,
Bas.
* Because we don't let people do this too often for obvious reasons. But it happens someone buys a subscription on a friend/family member's iPad, then decides to buy a new iPad a few weeks later...

Scamp, the Birthday Fairy, aka Mrs C, bought me an iPad 2 for my birthday. All I did to transfer OzRunways was restore the old (backed up) iPad data from iTunes, and then opened OzRunways and entered the relevant email I.D. in the settings.

The same as if you'd lost or broken the old one.
Plug in the new iPad, open i Tunes and it will ask you what you'd like to do, easy.
The only pain in the ass is that the apps you had on the old iPad won't arrange themselves into those nice folders you had, so you'll need to spend quite a while arranging/setting up the folders.

Was able to try and interesting comparison a few days back.
Had my iPad 1 and my F/Os iPad 2 running concurrently with Ozrunways. The iPad 2 picked up and held the GPS signal quite easily on top of the dash. My iPad 1 never picked up the signal at all.
It appears the solution is self evident- I need to go and buy and iPad 2!
That said, if he put his iPad down by his side then the signal became a lot more squirrelly. I'm still going to go with option A and get a bluetooth GPS for it. I reckon that's going to be the best solution for the 767. At least that way I can leave the iPad beside me rather than having it up on the dash the whole time.

Now keg, thats a photo I would pay many coins to see, not 1 but 2 iPads on the glareshield.
Ah grasshopper, it seems Mr QF is saving money on FMS database updates and issuing iPads instead.
Now the mention of 10nm markers on your route gave me a chuckle. next you will be asking how to do a 1:60. Remember those?
Better give you the sensar number as well,
All said in jest of course.

I've had recent reports of an iPad 2 intermittently working in the app and causing some issues. This was whilst it was in full 3G phone coverage, operating in a Jabiru on a dash mount. I was a little surprised to hear this.

I've found the Bad-Elf GPS dongle to be very good. It allows the iPad to stay in Airplane mode but receive a better GPS signal than the inbuilt receiver gives. Bad Elf » GPS for iPad and iPod touch

VH-XXX i lost GPS signal a couple of times during my last work trip. Was still within 3G coverage at the time. And the app crashed a few times, only when running the ERC charts though, the WACs VTCs and TAC charts were fine

Bluetooth GPS
The GNS 5870 Bluetooth GPS works well. It comes with a little suction cap device allowing it to be attached to the window. Works well on the rear side window of the 744.
Just need to be careful with the on/off switch. Sometimes likes to turn itself on if left in a bag.....

Guys, thanks for the feedback! Interesting to hear it crashes more with ERCs; no idea what that should be. We'll look at that.
We're working on the GPS too. It seems that in our efforts to not have it display bad data, we've made it too sensitive, especially with vertical accuracy. So in the next version, there will be a different warning and we won't cut out your position just because the GPS's altitude accuracy is too far off.
Thanks again for the feedback and your support!

Baro Correction
Baswell,
Any chance of Barometric correction to the GPS altitude? I know that is cheeky but when in the flight levels it would be just too cool to be able to hit STD for 1013mb.
