Hey everyone!
It’s been a while since my appearance with Infinite Horizon. And there have been quite a few updates since! Here’s a rundown of the new features and improvements.
This is a continuation of this post.
Replay sharing
You can now upload an Infinite Flight .replay file and share it through a link. Anyone with the link can download the file to open in Infinite Flight.
- Upload and download replays without creating an account.
- Sign in to manage your uploads through My Replays.
- Optionally encrypt your replay and share its unlocking key separately. Keep the key safe, as it cannot be recovered.
- Upload files up to 128 MiB.
- Share links expire after seven days, and uploads can be deleted earlier.
Tracked flights and notifications
You can now keep a personal watchlist of flights and quickly find them on the map.
- Choose alerts for each flight, including takeoff, landing, climb, descent, approach and Autopilot+ status changes.
- View recent flight events in the tracker.
- Enable browser notifications on supported devices.
- Save a preferred alert checklist for newly tracked flights.
Tracking requires an account. Browser notifications depend on your browser/device support and notification permissions.
Taxiways and ground movement
Runway and taxiway layouts are now available at 250 airports worldwide. Zoom in to see taxiway labels, or toggle the overlay using Show taxiways.
