iGoApp Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Posted December 19, 2014 Hello! First of all, I would like to thank all of those who purchased the application. Your support is much appreciated. Just wanted to inform you that there will be an upgrade in January (and not the last one!). 1) Navigation database will be updated to the latest X-Plane's default one. If there is a newer navdata available by then, it will be included. 2) The view of the navaid selection table and the flight plan table will be made more user friendly. 3) There will be an option to view airport or navaid information on the map by clicking on the annotation icon. 4) Last but not least. You will now be able to download the wind aloft data directly from X-Plane. If your Flight Level is between X-Plane's wind altitude levels, wind direction and wind speed will be extrapolated to your FL. Hopefully, more to come next year! Cheers. Quote
trevg Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 Makes my life a lot easier, no more pad and pencils Thanks for the work and nice to know you will keep upgrading it. Cheers and have a good xmas break. 1 Quote
iGoApp Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Happy holidays, everybody. Just wanted to share with you the ultimate objective of the application that I originally intended to implement. I had not thought that I would be able to include it in version 1.1 but I just did the first test and the results looked promising. Therefore, I decided to share with you another feature that I will add to the next version. The application will assess your flight performance against 20 categories and will give you a score. I just did a test flight violating almost every possible rule. The application generated the following report. Although, there are still a few bugs (and typos), I hope to fix them by the end of January. I hope the application will be worth every penny now. Cheers! Edited December 30, 2014 by iGoApp 1 Quote
jettojig Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) That's a neat idea! Now we'll all know how awful we really are Jokes aside, looking forward to seeing this, especially since I feel I'll be flying the Saab a lot more once it gets the GNS530 in the next update... By the way, would you consider getting in contact with Navigraph/Aerosoft to see if you can make this app be able to use the latest nav data from then on release? Airtrack by Haversine has this ability too and its very helpful when you have a subscription. Edited December 30, 2014 by jiggyb2 1 Quote
iGoApp Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks, jiggyb2. I have considered both Navigraph and Aerosoft. Aerosoft told me that they do not currently provide an option to use their navdata on mobile devices -- they have not figured out how to get people update the database. Navigraph does have this option. But they demand that the application developer makes sure that the navdata gets expired after 3 months and the user has to update it. This requires establishing user accounts on the developer's server. After some thinking, I decided not to enforce people to create another user account in my application. I hope that the default X-Plane navdata will be sufficient at least for the time being. Cheers. Quote
jettojig Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 Fair enough, I understand some users would hate having to make another account! And you'd probably need more hardware to manage a login system - I see the disadvantages! Quote
majdadsf Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 I can't seem to get a connection with igoconnect. Have done a port forward on the router, made sure igoconnect matches the iPad. Nothing seems to work. I'm likely doing something wrong and simple but can't see to figure it out. Quote
iGoApp Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Posted January 16, 2015 Hello, majdadsf. I have just sent you an email. Thanks! Quote
iGoApp Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Posted January 18, 2015 majdadsf. Please try to disable Windows Firewall. Cheers. Quote
iGoApp Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Posted January 19, 2015 If people feel uncomfortable disabling Firewall completely, you may open the port for the TCP connection the following way: For Windows 7:Go to Control Panel > Windows Firewall Click on "Advanced Settings" in the left-hand pane. Click on "Inbound Rules" and then "New rule". Select "Port", click next, select "TCP", and enter "7767" as the local port. Click next, and allow the connection. Click next again, and ensure that "Domain", "Private" and "Public" are all ticked. Name your firewall rule, e.g. "iGoConnect", and then save it.Regards, 1 Quote
Upkeep Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 Just got this App and am very pleased with it. I was wondering with the onset of the GNS530 in the next update, are there any plans to import and export fms plans into the App? I am not sure this is even possible of course. Anyway, thank you very much for an excellent add-on to the Saab All the best Upkeep 1 Quote
iGoApp Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks, Upkeep. I have not thought yet about integrating it with Garmin. Definitely, it may be something to consider in the future. By the way, version 1.1 has been submitted to Apple and is waiting for their review. Best. Quote
Upkeep Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks very much for letting me know and for considering the GNS link. Regards Upkeep Quote
deetee Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 This looks interesting.Is it possible to import a flight plan?I see VORs in the flight plans, but can other nav aids like NDB and intersections be used? Many thanks. Quote
iGoApp Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Posted February 4, 2015 deetee. Thank you for your interest. You cannot import a flightplan, at least for now. Out of curiosity, where would you like to import it from? X-Plane Garmin or something else?Yes you can use Vors, Vortacs, NDBs, Fixes - all navaids included in the default X-Plane database.Cheers.

iGoApp Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Posted February 7, 2015 Hello. First of all, thanks a lot to everyone who purchased the application. The update will be released in the next day or two. IMPORTANT: Please make sure that once you install the update, you download and install the last version of the iGoConnect plugin (currently version 1.3.1). The application update will not work correctly with the previous version. Hope you will enjoy it. Please let me know what you think of the flight performance reporting and/or if you come across any bugs. Also, if you have a minute to rate the application in the Appstore, it will be extremely valuable. Have a safe flight! Quote
iGoApp Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Posted February 26, 2015 If you have problems with the latest update of iGoConnect, namely you do not see it in the plugin menu on Macs, please try to replace the mac.xpl file with the attached. As soon as I receive confirmation that the file works, I will compile an update for the plugin. Sorry for inconveniences. mac.xpl.zip Quote
iGoApp Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Posted March 10, 2015 The iGoConnect plugin has been updated. http://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/707-igoconnect/. It fixes the dependency bug on Mac computers and adds Linux support (for the upcoming CRJ-200 app). Quote
lord_helmet Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Hmmm.. for some reason I am unable to connect to the app... even though I've opened the port mentioned. Everything seems to be in order but it still doesn't work... any ideas? Quote
iGoApp Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 lord_helmet. I will try to help you. Which system do you have?Do you see the application in the X-Plane menu?Can you connect if you disable the firewall completely? Cheers, Quote
lord_helmet Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 lord_helmet. I will try to help you. Which system do you have?Do you see the application in the X-Plane menu?Can you connect if you disable the firewall completely? Cheers, Hello, thanks for the swift reply! Completely turning off the firewall doesn't help. Regarding seeing the app in the X-plane menu I suppose you mean in the plugin-menu? If so, yes I can see it there. My system is a 3770k with 16 gb ram and a GTX780. Quote
iGoApp Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Windows or Mac? And can you please send me your Log.txt file? Cheers. Edited March 17, 2015 by iGoApp Quote
lord_helmet Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Windows or Mac? And can you please send me your Log.txt file? Cheers. I am running W7 ultimate x64. How would you like me to send the log.txt? Quote
iGoApp Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 Can you please send me a PM? Cheers. Quote
lord_helmet Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Can you please send me a PM? Cheers. Done! Quote
