what feature has been left out ?
 

what did you delete ?

We made a rather minor one so that we can disable and enable it remotely. To be honest, by the time (later this week) Apple approves the new version, our issue with the external data will have been resolved too...

so is this really how the process works?

Yipee

Hi Guys what we have been waiting for has arrived, I just downloaded version 2.5. Quick, get to it. Unfortunately I have to go to work now without playing.

;) :D :ok:

Yup, hot off the press! With the way the App Store works, some people may take a little longer before it shows the latest version.

OzRunways 2.5: Plan your Flight, Fly your Plan | OzRunways

And be sure to have a read of the manuals:

User Manuals | OzRunways

Bas.

My wish list would include

SARTIME reminder.

Flight and duty time app that woould interface with DFT8 which seems to be the most common flight and duty time program.

A logbook..

Maybe even weight and ballance program and performance charts integreated into Oz runways.

A proper flight planner, similar to champaigne that would link into Naips.

I doubt there would be any softwere available where the developers are in such real time contact with the end users. Great to see.

After this big delivery, we plan to go into a mode of more incremental releases, one thing at a time.

We still, first and foremost want to be a situational awareness tool in flight. So expect features like airspace warnings before we work on stuff like W&B and interfaces to duty times systems, etc. Just managing expectations here!

What we do want to do is better performance planning, especially for our friends flying jets. That means burn and TAS by flight level and the like.

With your ongoing support, there is no reason for us to ever stop improving OzRunways. In fact, we are getting ourselves organised to do much more development next year than we have done so far.

Interesting times ahead!

do we get another free month??:):):)

You do, just in case you didn't get 2.0 because you were waiting on more, we reset it again.

Just don't expect a free month with every release when we go to (hopefully) monthly updates next year! :D

Good work lads! :ok:

The Beta test you said I was not finding any more bugs....well apart from a couple....you must have hidden the rest well.

You guys have done an outstanding job with this project.:ok::ok::ok:

Hi Guys, Best to delete and reload or update?
cheers :ok:
A172

Update or Wipe
 

Update if you want to keep any user waypoints.

Well done!
 

Still playing with 2.5, but looks good so far :ok:

Any chance of printing maps in the future?

cheers,

Just to let you know guys, for contractual reasons (the counter party still needs to sign) we have temporarily disabled the "get winds from ARFOR" feature.

But we can enable it remotely, so as soon as we get the word, we'll turn it on without having to wait for an Apple review cycle.

Having trialled OzRunways on my Iphone for a month, I am pretty impressed by all this stuff, but where do you buy the Bluetooth gps units from? No online stores in the USA that I've tried to buy from, will ship to Australia???? :{ I'm more interested in the xgps150 because Keg gives it a good rap, (and I trust the Kegmeister) but any solution would be appreciated. I want to use it with an Ipad2.
(Yes I know the Ithingy has an integral GPS receiver, but I want MORE).
cheers

Hi

I am pretty sure I bought mine here:

Dual Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver (Wirelessly Add GPS To Your Devices) #XGPS150 - Expansys USA

Cost me $150 AUD delivered and got here in about a week.

Bevan..

Trent,

I use the ipad2 3GS and have never found the need for an external GPS. mind you I do not sit in seats 0A or 0B of them big balus.

But I do understand the concept of more GPS the better :E

I just bought an XGPS150 on eBay (from a US seller) for A$103-00 shipped.
Arrived all OK and fast.
PM me if you want details sent by email.

Brave man! :ok: My wife barely trusts me- particularly with technology- so I'm always surprised when others do! :cool:

Actually, I've been using the GNS5870. It's worked pretty well for me thus far. I haven't tried the other one at all. It'd be interesting to have them running in parallel on a particular flight.

Does this app run purely on GPS only or does it draw data from 3G (like googlemaps on iPhone)?
