Update for the X-Plane 10 demo and built in 1112 database.
See here for how to configure X-Plane to work with SkyCharts.
v2.9.3 released
Now with iOS5 delete fix. However, this only applies if you have iOS5.0.1 (or later) installed. For iOS5, please try leaving 1GB or so of available disk space.
You now also have an ‘Action’ button when viewing approach plates. Use this to view the plates in different PDF readers to annotate or if you need to rotate for instance.
Enjoy!
Cycle 1112 released
More info!
However, if you can, hold off updating until v2.9.3 is released, it has the iOS5.0.1 fix that avoids the iOS deleting files willy nilly. Apple has been taking their sweet time releasing the update though, so if you want to make SURE you have all data on your device, please update the app first, THEN download cycle 1112. If you get the v2.9.3 application update after you already downloaded cycle 1112, please download again to make sure the iOS will not delete any relevant files.
Changes: This time with the SUA (Special Use Airspace) info, which you already have in the red dots, but its now also included directly from FAA, I figured it doesn’t hurt to have. You also get the Published NOTAMs, as well as the VFR chart bulletin (chart changes).
For the High Enroute charts you now also get the NARC and WATR charts.
Enjoy!
The next charts cycles are listed here.
v2.9.2 released
iOS5 fix for XPlane
v2.9.1 released
Minor GUI fix for iPhone 4S
SkyCharts v2.9 released
Less aggressive network settings so it should work better on DSL and Edge.
If you still think downloads take too long please check Q37 in the FAQ.
Also has a fix for NRST airport calculation which broke with the addition of the A/FD front and back pages, and also a built in 1111 database.
However, a bug that only shows up in the iPhone 4S slipped by, so if you get a white bar at the bottom please wait for v2.9.1 to be released.
Alaska A/FD front page updated
If you cached AK_West, AK_East, US_NW or US_NE last night (Oct19/Oct20) and you want to update the file, please un-select the region, tap Start and the checkmark disappears. Then re-select the region again and tap Start to re-cache it again.
If you’re caching data as of 7.45 AM PDT or later you’re automatically getting the right data.
Cycle 1111 released
Attention Alaska users, Aeronav has not released the updated ‘al_front_20OCT2011.pdf’ file yet so when you update/cache you get the previous version.
You can recache the data once the file has been released, please check the webpage.
Future release dates are posted here.
iOS5 update
Please remember:
If you update to iOS5 you MUST recache all data you need.
To make syncing faster the app saves into ‘Caches’ and that directory is NOT backed up. So after a software update you will have NO data cached.
