Hey everyone! In the latest beta update, we’ve added new tools to make editing flight plans easier, along with improvements to the map and controls. Your feedback has been super helpful, and we’re still refining the rendering system as we go!

Not yet. AP/LNAV is one of the toughest things I’ve had to solve… so many corner cases, it’s brutal…

Thanks for the update. While it would be nice to have the update, all good (great) things take time. We appreciate everyone’s hard work in bringing 26.1 to our devices!

Nice! I have a question though, is there anywhere where we can send feedback for the new rendering engine? (I know it’s been quite a bit since it was first released and it’s weird that I’m asking this late, but due to the better performance of the new updates, I’ve managed to experiment more with the beta version now)

And it would be great if the same thing could be done for ATCs as well, because when we give someone a hold pattern, we can’t see their route.

Can you make autopilot pitch and roll speed less aggressive? At this rate you’d literally throw passengers around the cabin
