Orest you can change the altitude the aircraft if flying by inputting a crossing altitude x miles before a waypoint in the expanded flight plan screen. Sure there is a better way but it works...

If you can try installing on a different machine if you have access to one. Would not run on a Windows Vista machine I have but did on a Windows 7 machine. Definitely going to take a little adjustment time but good to turn some knobs. With Orest, need a clue on altitude adjustment...

Is there any way to change the altitude of the simulated aircraft?

Took me about 2 hours to download on DSL but got it this time.
Initial lack of familiarity with software as to be expected but already have found some very nice features. I like it. |

Mirror server has been added. Reported download times are now ranging from 7 min to 20 min.
We think we're a day or two away from posting the revised version per my definition above. |

I did get the email, thanks Steve. It just took a little time.
My download is still running, but on my 50Mbit business class cable service, it's currently estimating almost 21 hours remaining. Pretty sure the delay is not on my end. I'm going to bail on the download for now and await the next version.

Although slow, it did download overnight for me. I was able to install and run it this morning.

Me too, "unknown network error". Starting over.
I have a max download of 3000 KB/s. The download connection here is 40 KB/s or less, very slow indeed. You might need a mirror or two Steve. Oh well.

Extremely slow. |

I received my email immediately. There must be many attempting to download though as the 2.1gb of data is on track for a 6 hour download time on my DSL. |

Hi Steve,
I filled out the form on the web site, and it says I should receive an email with download instructions. So far, I have not received that email. Is it supposed to be immediate or does somebody have to process it? Thanks, -Mike

For the folks who want to download the windows version, it's all yours. Please note however, we'll post a revised/updated/improved version in the next week. It's a 2GB download so if you're not dying to have it immediately, I might consider waiting.
Improvements in the next week include: .. aurals working .. current databases .. dual IFD capable .. weather datalink tied to live internet weather .. a few other minor, and maybe not even noticeable, tweaks.

"next several months"? Ouch. I hope that's a conservative estimate, for those of us who aren't Windows users.

Actually, I meant "will the sim run on non-tablet machines, like a Win7 desktop or laptop?" To date, I have only heard "Windows tablet" mentioned, and I don't know how strictly that applies. I'd generally expect that if it's running on a touch-enabled version of Windows, I could substitute a mouse interface if I don't have a touchscreen, but the continuing use of the phrase "Windows tablet" doesn't give me the warm fuzzy that I'll really be able to use it on my desktop/laptop. Just looking for that warm fuzzy that I don't have to go buy new hardware to use the sim.

So Steve for the rest of us that listened to you and went out and purchased an iPad, when can we expect to see a simulator in the App Store?

I think he was asking about using the simulator on a Win-7 PC, not a tablet - something without a touch screen.

I'll check non-Win 7 machines early this week.
The pre-TSO deliveries are not coming with an accompanying simulator.

Another Android user here. There are a lot of us out here.
Also, could you please confirm that the sim will run on Windows machines that are not tablets (Win 7)? I don't have any Apple devices or a Windows tablet, and I seriously doubt I'm the only customer in that situation.

Not sure. I've got a call into the Sales crew to see if there are any demo opportunities coming to the Southwest soon. Will post update here or have them call you direct with answer.

I know I've said it before and have been replied to, but this seems like a good place to chime in about android. I have yet to have seen the IFD-540 in person and I've have had my money on the line for a long time. I only have an android tablet and windows PCs and at the very least would like to run the simulator prior to receiving my unit to have some sort of semi-evaluation that I'm still happy with the product. I'm not insinuating that I have issues with it, but it's a lot of money for something I haven't test driven.
An android version with enough evaluation time prior to unit delivery would be ideal. Will the windows simulator software be useable on a desktop without a touchscreen? Will you be displaying the unit at any trade-shows in the southwest (CA) any time soon? Your website doesn't have any upcoming events if I'm looking correctly http://www.avidyne.com/news/shows.asp. Thanks, Jayson

I should have said we also have a Windows-based version ready too and plan to distribute it before certified units are shipping.
Android variant on the to-do list but not an active project yet.

I really would like to see an android version, or at the very least a windows based version. Android has become the dominant platform, and of course there is a windows machine most everywhere. I do not have any iThingies, and would hate to be forced to get one just for this purpose. Sure, I know there are only so many hours in the day, but please let me make this request. * Orest Edited by oskrypuch - 08 Dec 2013 at 1:46pm |
