News Item: iFMS version 1.1.4 now released for iOS and Android decides

 

I am happy to report iFMS version 1.1.4 is now available for download in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

 

This revision fixes the following issues:

- On some Android devices like the Motorola Xoom2 or the Samsung Galaxy Tab7 not all the FMC buttons were displayed because of a sizing issue of the bitmaps.

- Waypoint names should always be displayed when the HSI is in PLAN mode, not just when RTE DATA is selected.

- When a runway is selected in some cases there was a problem only displaying the relevant departures/arrivals for this runway.

- There was a crash and/or misplacement when programming a hold in an existing procedure.

- When the HSI was in plan mode in landscape configuration, trying to program a hold, the “STEP” function was overwritten by the “PPOS” function.

- Take-off status would only show complete after PERF INIT / ROUTE / TAKEOFF PAGE was complete and a departure runway was selected, in reality the departure runway does not need to be selected for take-off status to show as complete.

 

Two less common aircraft were also added to the list of default aircraft, the AgustaWestland AW139 Helicopter and the Cessna C337H Skymaster.

 

Many thanks go out to the users and testers who have pointed out and helped me resolve these issues.

 

 

What does the future hold for iFMS?

 

Apart from some revisions and minor upgrades in the near future, for the longer term I am planning some bigger developments for a later major upgrade (version 2.0):

- Full multi-device support: For the moment it is possible to connect multiple devices to a single flight simulator, however, the devices will not sync, i.e. if you program a route on one device it will not be reflected on the other devices connected to the same simulator and thus each device will need to be programmed separately. I’m planning to implement this functionality for the next major upgrade.

- A Primary Flight Display (PFD). iFMS currently consists of an FMC and HSI display (also known as a Navigation Display or ND). With the addition of multi-device support, a PFD will allow users to build a simple but very functional home cockpit using two or three Android/iOS devices connected to a single flight simulator.

 

As always, if you have any questions/concerns/issues don’t hesitate to contact me either through the feedback form on the iFMS website or directly, [email protected].
