UPDATE: Flight Gear v2.0 is now out! http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.YouForgotWhat.flightgear_free This new version comes with the FAA's Airport Facility Directory (A F/D) integrated into the app. When you download the app (or update it), you will be able to access all ~19,500...

Sounds good, I'll start working on that feature and let you know when it's finished.

I'll definitely look into adding that feature. By having it "incorporated into the app", do you mean that you want it to be available locally on your device (without a data connection)?

The update is now available on the Google Play store. I uploaded it this morning but Google takes a few hours to process it so that's why it took a while for it to be visible. You should be able to update to it now though.

Quick question for all those who are interested... Would you guys like me to add a flight logger to this app where you can save, edit and view your total flight hours + other flight information? I'm just trying to make Flight Gear as comprehensive as possible so pilots who use the app will have...

UPDATE: Flight Gear v1.1 is now out! I followed the suggestions of a few members on this forum to help improve the app. Here's what's changed/is new: -- Updated Trial Version: The trial version of the app is no longer restricted to 48 hours. Instead, you will be able to use the each feature of...

^Thanks for your suggestion. I think you've got a fair point there with simplifying the WB screen. I'll be releasing version 1.1 of my app either tonight or tomorrow afternoon (worst case scenario) and I'll make sure to take off the arm lengths from the actual calculation screen. (If anyone has...

You're right. Generally speaking, an accelerometer by itself is very inaccurate/essentially useless for simulating an ADI. However, if an accelerometer is used in conjunction with a magnetometer (which almost all Android devices have), you can fuse the two sensors together using a complementary...

^Excellent idea! I'll have that implemented into the app and ready by the end of today. :) @Badger: You seem extremely interested in the ATC Notepad. Would the feature that JeffDG mentioned be worth it to you?

My friend happens to have the 10.1" Tab 2 as well. I'll go test it out on his device in an hour and get back to you. In the meantime, could you check to make sure that your gyro is correctly calibrated (download a free gyro app from the Play store to test it out)? The only time I had the ADI on...

Do you happen to have the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (7" screen)? I was looking through the technical specifications for the product and it states that it does not have an accelerometer or a gyroscope. (Scroll down to where it says "Technical Details")...

Ahh ok, I'm looking into the issue right now. I'll upload an updated version of the app and let you know as soon as I get the problem fixed. Thanks for giving me the heads up!

Could you post the name of your device? I tested the app out on a Samsung Galaxy S3, S2, Galaxy Note 2, Nexus 7 and a Nexus 10. I'll get this issue fixed asap. (Also, did you press the "Switch ADI Position" button in the upper right corner?)

When I tested it out, I simply used the in-built microphone on my Android device. However, if you use a splitter (with mic support), and plug that into your Android device, you will see much more accurate results while transcribing. Keep in mind that your Android device should have an audio jack...

Interesting thought about the time limit... you're right, I probably should've considered people who don't fly on a frequent basis. Thanks for your suggestion Mike! I'm currently in the process of changing the free trial version model to something more flexible. And thanks for referring me to...

Bump, anyone interested in this app? I'd just like to get a feel for what you guys think of it so far. I just added two more E6B functions about an hour ago (Wind Correction Angle and Crosswind Calculator). I'm currently coding other E6B functions (pressure converter, etc) right now and they'll...

UPDATE: I just released a free version of this app on Google Play. It will allow you to use the app with all it's features for 48 hours before asking you to upgrade. Hope you guys'll check it out! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.YouForgotWhat.flightgear_free

I posted a poll on this forum (and other aviation forums) about my app a few days ago. After looking through the results, I found out that the vast majority of people are willing to pay about $3.99 for it. It is now available on the Google Play store...

Yes it will come with a free trial (you will be able to use each feature 3 times before the app asks you to upgrade). I understand that you guys probably want the free trial because you want to see what the app looks like/decide whether or not it will suit your needs. I'll be posting up a...

Hmmm, Windows 8 will probably end up being on my to-do list. But my app is currently finished (releasing today, will post a new thread with the link later today) for Android. My next step would then be to use that revenue to port it to iOS and definitely Windows 8. That's probably still a month...
