4.0.987 beta (09JUL2022)

  • NEW: Logbook flight tracks and breadcrumbs can now be exported to GPX format also.
  • IMPROVED: When EV4 is moved to the background it will release cache memory so the operating system keeps EV4 alive longer. Hopefully, this has a noticeable impact on specifically iPad mini 4 systems.
  • IMPROVED: Dynon Flightplan Sending: If the Ident of a VRP is longer than the SkyView can display (8 characters) then when this Ident starts with the airport ICAO, then EV4 will use the most 8 right characters as Ident to show on the SkyView. This improves usability on airports with VRPs that differentiate only on the last 1 or two characters used.
  • IMPROVED: When entering credentials a Reset Password button is now available.
  • FIXED: Rare occurrences of EV4 freezing on iOS
  • FIXED: Some crashing causes on Android
  • FIXED: Density altitude is back on QuickInfo->Airfield Info and tripkit PDF.
  • FIXED: The Magnetic Track value on a route bubble used the plane's position to calculate magnetic variation, while it should have been the starting point of the leg.
  • FIXED: Long names with hyphens were rendered on the map with one hyphen missing to avoid ugly long names taking up a lot of widths. We found a better solution to do the word wrapping.
  • FIXED: Tripkit didn't show trailing zero's for distance if the distance was a whole number (11.0 was displayed as 11. instead of 11.0)

  • FIXED: Restoring logbook from the cloud could fail due to timeout.
  • FIXED: When the user scrolled the account-creation page during app setup it was no longer possible to enter the user's credentials
  • FIXED: When accepting a GPX route on Android, this route was excepted, but EV would crash after 1-2 minutes.
  • FIXED: When in Plan(e)station mode EV4 would not set the forced camera altitude at startup.
  • FIXED: EasyVFR 4 menu -> System -> Tracklogs now works for EasyVFR Essentials also.
  • FIXED: Deleting daily breadcrumb files using EasyVFR 4 menu -> System -> Tracklogs did not delete the selected breadcrumb file.

  • IMPROVED: Comms & airspace information window in various Denmark areas.
  • IMPROVED: On startup of EV4, it now checks in the background if maybe new plate subscriptions are found, so the user no longer has to check account settings first.
  • IMPROVED: Route Totals now use current groundspeed for the active leg, and planned values from the selected aircraft profile for all upcoming legs to calculate time to destination (ETA).
  • IMPROVED: Route label now includes the degrees symbol to avoid MT getting understood by the user as "meter" instead of "Magnetic Track".
  • IMPROVED: When the user calibrates the AGL altitude via the Status Card the second confirmation popup stating the AGL altitude is reset is removed, it was a double confirmation dialog.
  • IMPROVED: The search button is moved to the bottom button bar to be quickly accessible.
  • CHANGED: The Map Interest timespan button is moved to the Map Layer menu.
  • FIXED: On Essential and Live tier: When tapping Open Pro Route Options the pop-up reported that an EasyVFR Live license was needed as a minimum, while it should have been Pro.
  • FIXED: Plan(e)station reset to defaults did overwrite all last download times for METARs, TAFs, NOTAMs, etc, causing these to get downloaded immediately after such a reset.
  • FIXED: There could be a small difference between the magnetic track value for a course displayed in the Route Planning menu and displayed as a route leg label on the moving map.
  • FIXED: When the Route Planning menu was docked to the left, then the application window was resized smaller causing the Route Planning menu to reduce in height, then when the application window was resized bigger the Route Planning menu would forever stay small and grow in height anymore.
  • FIXED: TAF Decoding on Quick Info Whether window skipped first part before first timegroup element.
  • FIXED: FLARM decoding issue with uAvionics SkyEcho2.
  • FIXED: When airspace is activated by NOTAM the link to the corresponding NOTAM was not visible.

 

 

 


 

4.0.970 -> Promoted to app stores (22APR2022)

  • FIXED: Sometimes highlighted airspace (for example due to an airspace warning) was rendered offset compared to the actual position of the airspace.
  • FIXED: When ALT2 (alternate) was closer to the destination than ALT1, then the route planning window would use that as distance to calculate fuel-to-furthest alternate for, resulting in a difference between the Trip Kit produced fuel required and the total fuel required according to the route window.
  • FIXED: QuickInfo wheel, Route objects truncated the last few characters of a User Waypoint description.
  • FIXED: QuickInfo wheel, Route Objects Window, when editing a user waypoint mixed lower & uppercase characters are now allowed.
  • FIXED: EasyVFR 4 menu -> my UserWaypoints now only accepts A-Z, 0-9, and a few special characters as short ID and description.
  • FIXED: Some menu z-order issues.
  • CHANGED: Dynon SkyView systems produce a wrong route when a route is sent via Wi-Fi that contains a VFR Reporting Point ("VRP") that has an identifier (for example "E") and more than one VRP with the same Ident exists close together. For example a route LZPE->LSZR-E->lSZR would not route via LSZR-E, but instead via LOIH-E. The only way to fix this was to no longer use the correct Ident/latitude/longitude, but instead use a "fake ident" (in our case LSZR E)/latitude/longitude, resulting unfortunately in that route waypoint not using the VRP icon anymore in the route list.

  • FIXED: Occasional flickering of Route Card and Route Planning menu when both are active.
  • FIXED: The Flight Statistics window that is shown when a logbook entry is automatically created is now suppressed for all aircraft types except "Fixed Wing", so slow-flying aircraft like flexwings don't get this window shown in the middle of their flight when they fly so slow and low EV4 thinks they have landed.
  • FIXED: Route Total bubble would always display the route total in NM, even if a different distance unit was selected.

4.0.965 beta (16MAR2022)

  • NEW: Route Card.
  • NEW: Share Route Token: Using Route Card -> Share Route it is now very easy to exchange routes with other EasyVFR4 users.
  • NEW: Devices running Apple iOS, iPadOS or ARM-based MacOS can now create Dynon Data USB Sticks directly from their iPhone or iPad. For this to work an adapter is needed to connect the USB stick to your iPhone; Apple calls this adapter "apple lightning to USB 3 camera adapter"
  • NEW: Map Layers menu -> AeroData -> Airport Features can be used to toggle various airfield elements like VFR arrival and departure routes, traffic patterns.
  • NEW: Route Planning menu -> Route Options now supports the soon-to-be-released "EFIS Gateway for MGL " by MicroKit Solutions LLC to send routes via Wi-Fi to MGL units.

  • IMPROVED: Button and icons to toggle TrackUp/NorthUp/PlanePos center (top left corner).
  • IMPROVED: Relative Terrain Colouring now uses a mixture of Red/Yellow to better render terrain that is still below the current altitude so valleys are better detectable.
  • IMPROVED: When traffic depiction uses an altitude range instead of a single value (in case the pressure altitude source is unreliable for example) the EV4 now uses a <> symbol between the lowest and highest possible value to indicate its a range. 
  • FIXED: In landscape, the Route Tools menu did not scroll anymore.
  • FIXED: WX Timelabels in the Route Planning menu, at the WX tab gave weird values.
  • FIXED: When tapping a plate for an airfield EV4 reported the error "You are not allowed to maintain this airfield".

4.0.954 beta (27JAN2022)

  • NEW: Introducing the new Status Card.
  • IMPROVED: Auto-adjust of airspace hide filter. When the difference between current altitude and active Airspace Hide Filter becomes 1000ft or less, then EV4 will automatically adjust this AirspaceHide filter in steps of 1000ft to create a difference of more then 1000ft again.
  • IMPROVED: Loading of large routes is now faster and more stable.
  • CHANGED: To clean up the EasyVFR 4 menu. Every setting that is now accessible via the Status Card is removed from the EasyVFR 4 Menu: Download of individual data types; GPS Settings; Traffic (Electronic Conspicuity) Settings.
  • CHANGED: The graphics and UI design system for both the app source code as in the development workflow has been reworked.
  • FIXED: Autowind, METARs and TAFs are now working again.
  • FIXED: Logbook Creation could sometimes create logbook entries with departure time set to the time the device was turned back on after the last flight instead of the actual landing time.

  • FIXED: On Android when using an external GPS or connected to a flight simulator, AND sitting inside a building with NO GPS reception, EasyVFR started to flip back and forth between Flyingmode and Planning mode.

4.0.938 beta (19OCT2021)

  • NEW: Create route using free text. Route Planning menu -> Route Tools -> Import from free text allows to create a route by simply typing route elements (for example "EHLE EHLE-B EHTX"). Or by copy-paste an official ICAO flightplan message. Note that these ICAO messages need to start with and opening bracket followed by FPL "(FPL" and need to end with a closing bracket ")".

  • IMPROVED: Android 11 support improved.
  • IMPROVED: SkyEcho Flarm decoding updated with latest version.
  • IMPROVED: When an Airfield is PPR then the symbology used on the map is no longer showing the P so the symbology better reflects the actual airfield type. QuickInfo window for that airfield and the Airfield Summary window will now list "(PPR)" in the name of these airfields.
  • IMPROVED: Post FlightStatistics pop-up for Heli's is now hidden when hovering, when aircrafttype is set to Heli in the currently selected Aircraft Profile.

  • IMPROVED: When a logbook entry is created and more then one possible arrival or departure airfield is found, then the nearest one suitable to the current aircraftprofile settings will be chosen.
  • IMPROVED: When saving a route the Filter input field caused a lot of confusion; many users thought the new filename should be typed there. For this reason the Filter option is removed when saving a route.
  • IMPROVED: When saving a route under a name that already exists EV4 will now ask a confirmation to overwrite it.
  • IMPROVED: Few airfield labeling rules changed.
  • IMPROVED: Highlighting of NOTAMS and Airspaces from QuickInfo on various different screen layouts.

  • IMPROVED: Google Map tiles overlay toggling on/off has been moved from myEasyVFR to mapLayer->AeroData
  • IMPROVED: When background location updates are enabled by the user but associated rights are not set for the operating system then EV4 will give a warning.
  • IMPROVED: When multiple GPS Sources (for example SkyEcho2 is used with a tablet that has intern GPS also) then the breadcrumbs rendered on the map will be drawn using the data from the external unit only and will complement missing data from the internal GPS only when needed. This avoids the drawing of those funny "double track breadcrumbs".
  • IMPROVED: Dynon SkyView flight plan transferring only was possible when the SkyView reported a valid GPS fix. This check is now removed.
  • IMPROVED: When doing a pinch-zoom, panning is no longer disabled.

  • FIXED: Exporting of breadcrumbs and routes on Android 11 devices.
  • CHANGED: Removal of backward compatibility to access files in other directories than owned by EasyVFR4 itself. This is a new requirement from Google and was forced upon us to release this version via Google Play Store. As a result route imports from 3rd party planners isn't possible on Android 11 devices, we will address this issue ASAP.

4.0.897 beta (03APR21)

  • NEW: Voice guidance for upcoming leg change.
  • FIXED: Dragging route waypoint was broken since version 4.0.893.

4.0.894 beta (26MAR2021)

  • NEW: Available fuel is now shown per airfield using symbology on the map. If no aircraft profile is selected then all fuel types will be displayed for each airfield. If an aircraft profile is selected where JetA1 is selected as fuel then only JetA1 fuel labels are rendered on the map. If Avgas is selected as fuel type in the aircraft profiles then all 100(LL) labels are rendered. If mogas or "other" is selected as fuel type in the aircraft profile then all except JetA1 is rendered on the map.
  • NEW: The runway centerline extension feather is now always drawn when the runway ident in QuickInfo->Airfield info is tapped. It doesn't have to be part of a route anymore. 
  • NEW: Ukraine is added as supported country.
  • NEW: Bulgaria is added as supported country.
  • NEW: Greenland is added as supported country.
  • IMPROVED: When flightmode is activated EV4 automatically creates a local flight definition in RouteWindow, and now directly activates it as active route instead of leaving it as draft route for the user to confirm.
  • IMPROVED: the "big finger" rubberband offset applied on multitouch devices no gradually increases to its max distance depending on distance travelled by the user.
  • IMPROVED: Various tweaks for menu->downloads menu->Dynon Data exchange
  • FIXED: Sometimes in Windows landscape, the W&B screen layout had impossible small sliders.
  • FIXED: EasyVFR 4 menu -> myEasyVFR did not render the trashcan button for charts that are already downloaded to the device.
  • FIXED: EasyVFR 4 menu- > Downloads Menu -> Dynon SkyView Data Exchange, did sometimes not init all downloadable item lines correctly causing weird behavior like never-ending download instructions.

4.0.890 beta (16MAR2021)

  • NEW: Runway extension. Map Layers -> AeroData now has a toggle to turn off/on runway extension line feathers for airfields in your route. Regardless of this setting, when marking a runway in QuickInfo->Airport by tapping on its ident then EV4 will render a runway centerline extension for that specific runway.
  • NEW: Actual flight time and distance flown. Route totals in the routewindow now keep track of actual flight time and ground distance flown.
  • NEW: Auto local flight. When flightmode gets enabled (either manually or automatically) and no route is loaded yet on the routewindow then EasyVFR 4 will automatically create a local flight route based on backtracking today's breadcrumb to determine the actual takeoff position and time.
  • NEW: Logbook entries are now automatically created without the need for manual activation to extract them from daily breadcrumbs.
  • NEW: When single-tapping anywhere in the VPV, the moving map will pan to that tapped location and show either detailed airfield info or detailed airspace info depending on if the tap was at the bottom scale of the VPV or in the airspace area.
  • IMPROVED: Minor improvements to descend to destination profiling in the VPV to eliminate some of the "weird vertical profiles" in the VPV.
  • IMPROVED: Dynon Data exchange. Approach Plates now get downloaded from the Dynon Data Exchange window because nobody understood only the plates that were already downloaded are actually copied. This has now become an "all or nothing" operation: when the Dynon Sync is done, EasyVFR will make sure all approach plates for all selected countries are downloaded, regardless of how long it takes. The user has no influence on this anymore.
  • IMPROVED: When inserting a route point into a leg then EasyVFR will no longer increase planned altitude for the newly created leg if terrain for the newly created leg is higher than for the existing leg. When a point is added to the route then this auto-adjusting to the highest terrain still takes place.
  • IMPROVED: When tapping a NOTAM on the routewindow to highlight it on the map, then the on map NOTAM text won't get shown anymore if the routewindow is still open (because the NOTAM text can still be read on that routewindow then).
  • CHANGED: On Windows when opening a PDF, EasyVFR 4 will always launch an external viewer instead of creating an in-app viewer. This is done because some in-app viewers cause EV4 to freeze when the users want to print the PDF for example.
  • CHANGED: Infofields for legs at the routewindow for both planning and flightmode.
  • CHANGED: Daily Breadcrumb maintenance is now moved to EasyVFR 4 menu- > System. They are currently stored indefinitely, but upcoming versions will restrict this to a specific date frame as soon as the automatic logbook creation turns out to be working ok (breadcrumbs are copied to the logbook for the specific flight duration so the original daily breadcrumb can safely be deleted). Breadcrumbs are just kept for debugging purposes still.
  • FIXED: When exporting a route with a space in the filename EV4 would crash if exported on an iOS device
  • FIXED: EV4 could crash in some circumstances when opening the AirspaceCrossed tab.
  • FIXED: When using an iPhone with a notch in landscape mode ev4 would keep a top part of the screen unused.
  • FIXED: EV4 would crash when dragging the destination of a route on the map
  • FIXED: EV4 would freeze when on startup, flightmode was enabled and AeroData needed to get updated due to the start of a new Airac cycle
  • FIXED: When a local flight was active and EV4 showed WX for the upcoming ours in the VP then when rotating the screen the VPV would jump to the farthest time point to the right.
  • FIXED: When a country was added and then Dynon SkyView Data Exchange was chosen before the EFB catalog was updated in the background then EV4 would not copy the plates for the newly added country to the Dynon memory stick.
  • FIXED: Flightplan filing new firewall conditions setup by RocketRoute broke Flightplan filing.
  • FIXED: When using landscape screen orientation the infofields could become extremely small.

  • FIXED: Electronic Conspicuity devices who send data using UDP on port 2000 where listed as TCP connected in menu->System->Location (GPS) source.
  • FIXED: When using the cursorkeys on windows or MacOS the map would pan, but not refresh. 
  • FIXED: menu->Flightlog maintenance->Logbook tools -> Restore logbook from cloud was unreachable because Logbook Tools was disabled as long as no logbook entry was manually created.
  • FIXED: VFR Reportingpoints with duplicate names for both ID and description are now no longer labeled twice with the same name.
  • FIXED: Sometimes the VPV rendered two 0NM distance markers on the x-axis when zooming in far.
  • FIXED: When flying trackup, highlighting an airspace could get misaligned when panning the map.

4.0.742 beta (25MAY2020)

  • NEW: [Map Layers Menu] -> [SmartMap Settings] now has an option to extra highlight (purple/pink inside fill) airspaces for which a NOTAM is found that activates that airspace.
  • NEW: [Map Layers Menu] -> [SmartMap Settings] now has an option to extra highlight airspaces (green inside fill) for which a NOTAM is found that de-activates that airspace.
  • NEW: [Map Layers Menu] -> [SmartMap Settings] now has an option to control the transparency of inactive airspaces. 25% means barely transparent, 100% means fully transparent, aka fully invisible.
  • NEW: [Automatic Routing] now has an option to prefer routing over lowest possible terrain elevation. The value given for [Avoid Terrain higher than] is then considered the maximum terrain elevation up to which Automatic Routing should try to find a route. If [Lowest Terrain] is disabled, then the automatic routing will simply avoid all-terrain higher then the given value but will not attempt to follow lowest terrain contours. 
  • NEW: [Automatic Routing] now takes [SmartMap Settings] into account, so it ignores inactive airspaces and routes around temporary by NOTAM created restricted areas.
  • NEW: [Menu] ->  [System] now has a new option [Location Updates only when in flightmode]. Default is on. When toggled OFF and [Location updates even when app in background] is ON, then even when Ev4 is not in flightmode it will keep track of movement and initiate flightmode automatically for "fire&forget" breadcrumb registering.
  • IMPROVED: [Automatic Routing] performance.
  • IMPROVED: Automatic GPS Source switching now waits 5 seconds for the current source to get back before switching to the alternative source.
  • CHANGED: Flarm TP connection settings are now moved a menu level deeper to avoid users to turn this on when they don't have an actual FLARM ButterFly or AirConnect unit. This because EV4 becomes very slow when this setting is enabled and the actual device is not connected.
  • FIXED: When in menu&buttons where hidden, any pan or zoom on the map made them visible again.
  • FIXED: When using TrackUp or Realtime rendering enabled, airspace Insidehatching switched to OutsideHatching.
  • FIXED: Airspace related NOTAMs did not respect the Airspace Hide filter.
  • FIXED: MapLayer menu [Geo] was always empty.
  • FIXED: Changes in Airspaces to Avoid for Automatic Routing were not persistent between sessions.
  • FIXED: When pressing a menu option at the bottom of a menu page an ugly large "Pressed" area was rendered.
  • FIXED: Sometimes a selected rasterchart was not reloaded on next startup of EV4.
  • FIXED: The correct PlaneSymbol will now be used on the MovingMap when this is changed from the default by the current active Aircraft Profile

  • NEW: It is now possible to delete selected Daily Breadcrumb Files using menu->Flightlog maintenance
  • IMPROVED: Menu->Flightlog maintenance is now setup more logically (I hope ;-))
  • IMPROVED: When the location data is no longer accurate, EV4 will show a warning message.
  • IMPROVED: the automatic routing will try to avoid open water as much as possible
  • IMPROVED: The MapOrientation (northup/trackup)can now be toggled also when in planning mode. This of course only has effect as soon as flightmode is activated.
  • FIXED: occasional crash when using GDL90.
  • FIXED: Load route now scrolls correctly when a filter text is entered.
  • FIXED: Multi-leg routes now get handled properly by the automatic routing
  • FIXED: Menu->System->Layout Infofields did not scroll correctly when setting up an infofield; it only allowed for the first 30% of options available.
  • FIXED: Displaced thresholds were sometimes rendered too wide for grass runways.

4.0.730 beta (01MAY2020)

  • NEW: Wxstations in QuickInfo->WX windows are now tappable and will pan the map to the corresponding location.

  • IMPROVED: MapOrientation icon now is independent from flightmode activated or not.
  • IMPROVED: automatic Routing is now much faster with terrain filtering
  • IMPROVED: RouteWindow, NOTAM part now sorts NOTAM within each group(WARNING,ENROUTE, AIRPORT) based on distance from departure location
  • IMPROVED: QuickInfo window, NOTAM tab now shows "Collecting NOTAMS for the tapped location...." instead of "There are no NOTAMs found applicable for the tapped location." when its searching for NOTAMS.
  • IMPROVED: X-scale zooming the VPV while in flightmode.
  • FIXED: When a route is active, ghost AeroData objects could get rendered on the map.
  • FIXED: ApproachPlates from Pooleys did not render correctly anymore

4.0.725 beta (22APR2020)

  • This version no longer supports the anonymous one-country mode, a valid FFM or Standard license is required.
  • The Windows version uses a new OpenGL middleware driver in an attempt to fix the Intel HD 5XX/6XX embedded GPU issue that some users experience.
  • NEW: EasyVFR4 now allows to login using the www.EasyVFR4.aero username/password combination. The EasyVFR3 email adress/regno combination is of course also still usable.

  • IMPROVED: When a QuickInfo window is active, tapping around on the map will no longer activate the summary window but just update the currently displaying QuickInfo window.
  • IMPROVED: Sometimes WX data (wind and/or sigwx and/or temperatures) was missing for a datapoint (lat/lon/time). The problem is not yet entirely fixed, we're working hard on the remaining issues.
  • FIXED: A lot of approachplate rendering issues
  • FIXED: Airspaces on NOTAM and WX mappreset where rendered in colour instead of grayscale

  • FIXED: Sometimes smartmap did not recognize airspaces that are only active parts of the year.

4.0.718 beta (30MAR2020)

  • NEW: MOROCCO data is added.
  • NEW: RouteWindow, LIB WPT ID and name can now be edited.

  • FIXED: Weight&Balance graph on windows was so thin it was hardly visible.
  • FIXED: Various fueltype related textuals.
  • FIXED: A crash cause when VPV enabled and flying on terrain where no or partial terrain data is available for.

4.0.712 beta (12MAR2020)

  • NEW: EasyVFR4 and associated AeroData database now support "seasonal" airspaces. These are airspaces only active during a specific period of the year. Smartmap will fade these airspaces when outside that period, and the active period will be shown in various places like WheelInfo->Airspaces window. These "Seasonal Airspaces" will become active after downloading the latest AeroData.
  • NEW: Android version does not need to be exited anymore, and the "Exit application" option is therefore removed.
  • NEW: A map orientation icon is now on the top bar that indicates True North. When tapped, the map will jump back to planepos if panned, otherwise it will toggle track up/north up map orientation mode. As a result the "map orientation" option is removed from the layers menu.
  • NEW: Menu->Search now has a new "Airspaces" tab where the search can search for AirspaceIdentifiers like EHR4B etc.
  • NEW: menu option maplayer->Smartmap settings added, mainly for "demonstration & evaluation" purposes.
  • IMPROVED: Runways are rendered only on lower camera altitudes to avoid cluttering with Airfield symbol.
  • IMPROVED: InfoWheel->Route window, DirectTo now behaves as expected.
  • IMPROVED: responsiveness and stability .
  • IMPROVED: Menu maplayer has the buttons to turn on/off Vertical profile view and Map orientation removed because these functions are directly accessible via onscreen buttons.
  • IMPROVED: VPV look-ahead distance when in flightmode is now speed dependent; EV4 will always look ahead 15 minutes, unless the user has changed the X-axis zoom himself while in flight. To reset to auto-zoom behavior in that case flightmode should be toggled off/on.
  • IMPROVED: When updating AeroData or adding a country while a route is loaded no longer requires the route to get closed.
  • IMPROVED: Airspaces are now rendered up to twice the camera altitude as before. As a result a bit more memory is required, and performance might get effected due to the airspace labeling, lets see how this evolves on the various platforms.
  • IMPROVED: Restricted, Danger and Prohibited areas are now entirely filled when they are connected to ground (aka not under-flyable).
  • IMPROVED: CTRs with a lower limit NOT ground (aka they are underflyable) are now no longer entirely filled so the user knows they are underfly-able.
  • IMPROVED: Some tidying up of the Aircraft settings.
  • IMPROVED: On windows and macos EV4 used the cursor keys as global hotkeys to pan arround the map. This was regardless of which window had the actual focus. From this version on these cursor keys are handled depending on where the mousecursor is located. Currently the moving map still uses them to pan, the VPV uses the left/right keys to pan also, and the mapinterest date&time controls use the left&right cursor keys to change the viewport also.
  • IMPROVED: Clean installs now have Airfield NOTAM filter by default turned on.
  • IMPROVED: Even when Airfield NOTAM filter is on, the routewindow will show airfield NOTAMS for airfields that are part of the route.

  • FIXED: When GAFOR was outdated EV4 would not allow to turn off the GAFOR layer, keeping the map stuck with a grayish useless overlay.
  • FIXED: Tapping approachplates on the Summary bar often required 2-3 taps before it was activated.
  • FIXED: When EV4 detects a crash on intel HD5xx/HD6xx GPUs it installs a fix that requires EV4 to restart, but after that the problem should no longer happen (we think).
  • FIXED: When using EV4 landscape (for example macos or windows) with the routewindow docked fixed to the left, the summary window would never show because it was placed underneath the routewindow.
  • FIXED: When using InfoWheel->Route points repeately, the window could "lag behind" and tapping a waypoint could actually mean tapping a waypoint from the upcoming list.
  • FIXED: When trying to add advanced power setting to an aircraft profile, EV4 would crash.
  • FIXED: When mapinterest tiemspan spans more then 24hrs then smartmap would render all airspaces as active.

4.0.693 beta (08FEB2020)

  • FIXED: VPV now correctly renders interior fill of airspaces that get crossed more then once.
  • FIXED: VPV rendered airspaces extended from the first or last leg in the VPV covering the entire route.

4.0.691 beta (03FEB2020)

  • Further stability improvements, but to fix a VPV bug (route from A to B then back to A) a serious rework of the VPV had to be done. 
  • FIXED: MacOS version crashes on 5K retina devices. For 5K retina devices a significant performance improvement is noticed when selected resolution 0f 2048x1152 points, (because its retina, internally EV4 uses 4096x2304 pixels and this seems to be the fastest mode).
  • FIXED: Occacionally freezing and stuttering.
  • FIXED: eliminated a few crash causes.
  • FIXED: When planning a route from A to B and then back to B the VPV would not show correct terrain.
  • FIXED: Occacionally Airspacelabels where rendered while Airspaces where not.
  • FIXED: The Confirm/Cancel route changes buttons jumped across the screen from VPV to main map and back depending on the VPV calculation state.
  • FIXED: Rendering rastercharts
  • IMPROVED: The time the Info Wheel is shown now a second longer, many users found the old timeout a bit too fast.
  • IMPROVED: When a warning window (full or minimized) is shown it will no longer cover the Summary Window but will be shown above it.
  • IMPROVED: map scalebar is moved from the bottom to the right side when using in portrait.
  • IMPROVED: Info Wheel, Nearby objects gives places the lowest priority, resulting in the nearby routepoints list showing aviation related objects higher in the list even if located further away from the tapped location. 

4.0.687 beta (26JAN2020)

  • FIXED: a few crash causes
  • IMPROVED: When adding temporary routepoints using QuickInfo wheel->Routepoints window the inserted waypoints will now be labeled as TCK instead of simple USER WPT
  • FIXED: When adding temporary routepoints using QuickInfo wheel->Routepoints window the added waypoint was never found when tapped near it on the map, so could not get deleted anymore.
  • FIXED: When selecting an ApproachPlate to render on MacOS, EV4 would crash

  • FIXED: When saving routes the screen had a lot of rusbbish text and buttons rendered.
  • FIXED: Various smaller changes to map rendering in trackup mode
  • IMPROVED: Android text edit boxes now have the default text already highlighted so it will auto-clear when the user starts to type, onscreen keyboard is also autimatically opened. This saves the onnoying everytime-tap-to-do when editing text
  • FIXED: When using the [Tap to Add] button on the routeplanning window, the legs would not get added, but got inserted.
  • IMPROVED: SpotElevations are not rendered by default on the NOTAM and WX mappreset map.
  • FIXED: On every startup EV4 downloaded WX data even if it was already downloaded a few minutes before in a previous session.

  • FIXED: QuickInfo AirfieldInfo sometimes did not render all remarks.
  • FIXED: 'Aiport' type in NOTAMS menu.
  • FIXED: When adding or editing logbook entries EV4 would always take Aircraft type and callsign from the currently loaded Aircraft profile, and often clear the AircraftType entry.
  • FIXED: Logbook remarks filtered out certain characters like & .
  • FIXED: Selected rastercharts now (hopefully) stay persistent between sessions.
  • FIXED: If waypoint Symbol+Name could not fit on a single line in the RouteWindow, then the name would overlap the symbol.

  • NEW: Warning&Information system has been started with. The AirspaceWarning system currently has WarningPopups and outline on the map implemented. Warning Popup has the option to dismiss warnings for that airspace for 5 minutes or for the rest of the day. The warning sound is scheduled for the upcoming week. Default AirspaceWarnings are off, they should be enabled by the user using menu->Alarms and Warnings.
  • IMPROVED: The two buttons to confirm or cancel a route modification are now placed directly under the text in the VPV telling the route change must be accepted before a vertical profile is shown.
  • IMPROVED: Some popups are lengthened so they take up the entire device height instead of just being a tiny "crippled looking" window.
  • IMPROVED: The "license unlock" padlock button displayed top-left when no active subscription is found now activates the myEasyVFR option.

4.0.647 beta (23NOV2019)

  • NEW: Rastercharts are now fully functional using menu->myEasyVFR. Still some lose ends to complete.
  • IMPROVED: EFB Summary window is now overlayed the movingmap instead of placed left from movingmap when using a device in landscape.

  • FIXED: Flight mode departure / arrive buttons stay visible even when the main flight mode button is not visible
  • FIXED: When NOTAM download fails (for example due to intermittent internet connection) the NOTAM data was still cleared, resulting in a system without any NOTAMS. Now the old NOTAMS will only get cleared if a new NOTAM Data download was actually successfull.
  • FIXED: The VPV would draw a corrupted routeline when the climb to altitude took more then 30 times the climb rate for the given aircraft.
  • FIXED: EV4 now detects corrupted terrain data tiles and skips to the next-good-zoomlevel to still obtain correct point elevation. 
  • FIXED: When AeroData search was done and initially a long list appeared that the user scrolled and then added another searchletter the resultlist was not reset, so it could happen an empty result page was shown. 
  • FIXED: EV3 Logbook import did not populate take off date&time and landing date&time.
  • FIXED: When loading a route the mapinterest date&timespan was not adjusted to the takeoff date&time anymore. 
  • FIXED: When toggling autowind on or off while no active route exists (only a workingon route is available) EV4 would crash. 
  • FIXED: Flightplan Filing did not show an message with the filing result anymore. 

4.0.627 beta (12OCT2019)

  • NEW: To improve quick access to primary Airfield information EV4 now enables the Airfield Information bar using a single tap on the map near an airfield. It will not only show the approachplate thumbs, but also the airport name, elevation, frequency and runway length. 
  • NEW: A new option is available in Menu->Flightlog maintenance to import EasyVFR3 logbook into the EasyVFR4 logbook. When EV3 breadcrumbs are already downloaded from PocketFMS cloud then test EV3 logbook entries will get the breadcrumbs automatically added.
  • NEW: When manually creating logbook entries EV4 will now extract breadcrumbs for the specficied flight period and store them into the logbook entry.
  • NEW: All iOS devices can now have EasyVFR4 operate in the background to record breadcrumbs and logbook data, even if the device is not actually used. To do this, enable menu->System->Location Updates even when app in background.

  • IMPROVED: Approach Plate download will now only be executed when the internet connection type is considered fast enough

4.0.622 beta (05OCT2019)

  • NEW: This version is focussed on Breadcrumbs and logbook. It's not entirely finished yet and still rough around the edges, but it's complete enough to start discussing. You can find these new features at menu->Flightlog maintenance. 
  • NEW: When Background location updates are not working, or when using EV4 on Android or Windows, then EV4 records breadcrumbs as long as its in the foreground.
  • NEW: Flightmode will be automatically triggered in this new version. 
  • NEW: Breadcrumbs can be analysed to create logbook entries from. These auto-created logbook entries can be edited, and are stored in the logbook with a copy of the breadcrumb data for the timespan of the flight. That is why both breadcrumbs as logbook entries have the option to show the track of the flight on the map or export to google maps. Since the trackdata is stored in the logbook file itself (an XML based file now contrary to the binary format EV3 used) you don't lose the track details when you lose the breadcrumb file.
  • NEW: The logbook file is now one convenient file that keeps all data and can be easily backed-up. 

4.0.614 beta (13SEP2019)

  • IMPROVED: RouteWindow can now be dragged on the right side part of the window to resize it.
  • IMPROVED: map resize changes (aka rotating, VPV on/off etc) are now much faster handled.
  • IMPROVED: Runways were rendered at too high camera altitudes.
  • IMPROVED: QuickInfo ->Airfield Info now has the [PDF/Approach Plates] button always initially disabled to avoid the immediate download of approach plates and PDFs, what was found very irritating by many users.
  • IMPROVED: When countrySelect was done the WX Timestepper was not hidden.
  • IMPROVED: When countrySelect was done the ApproachPlate picker window was not hidden.
  • IMPROVED: Graphical route editing was very slow on many devices because with every change EV4 had to calculate terrain elevation, crossed airspaces, Enroute NOTAMS, Enroute METARs&TAFs and Enroute Advanced WX. EasyVFR4 now only does these calculations when the changes made to a route (depicted using the yellow legs on the map) are approved to the active route (depicted by the purple legs on the map). If the device is fast enough to do these calculations with every change of the route then the user can enable the old behavior using menu->System-> Update route while editing
  •  IMPROVED: Dragging the trackline on the VPV to change the planned altitude for a leg now displays the altitude in numerical value while dragging.
  •  IMPROVED: On the Movingmap and QuickInfo->Airfield Info grass runways are rendered with a lower order then hard runways so they don't look to overlap the hard runways.
  • IMPROVED: When changing planned altitude for a leg that causes the Airspace Hide limit to increase EV4 will now reset back the original Hide Airspace Above not only when stopping the route, but also when the planned altitude for the entire route falls again below the orginal Hide airspace above value.
  • FIXED: Finnish Language was not added to the windows version.
  • FIXED: menu->LockScreen is now disabled for devices that are not multitouch to prevent they can never be unlocked anymore (3 simultaneous touche is required to unlock).
  • FIXED: When toggling approachplates it could take a few seconds before the associated approach plate became actually visible. This was very annoying, especially when the previously selected plate was still visible all that time, this gave the impression the newly selected plate was not selected properly.
  • FIXED: Decoded TAFS now show the full station name again.
  • FIXED: suffix on some days of the month in TAF Decoding.
  • FIXED: METARS&TAFS were often slightly offset in relation to the associated airport.

4.0.607 beta (06SEP2019)

  • Newly-loaded route had last leg selected for deletion
  • WX Timestepper did not take the Advanced WX forecast timespan into account, resulting timestepping was only possible up to the most far TAF forecast time.
  • WX timestepper did not auto-advance the time when it got outdated more then 30 minutes
  • EV4 could occacionally crash when Advanced WX data was downloading
  • EV4 could crash when a route was loaded that had no effective NOTAMs involved, and then NOTAM data was updated.
  • QuickInfo wheel : AirspaceInfo, tap on the bargraph style depiction now takes the tapped altitude into account to highlight the correct airsapce in case a bar graph is representing multiple airspaces.
  • NOTAMS that get replotted by EasyVFR based on extracted coordinates from the NOTAM text are now using a blueish colour instead of pink.

4.0.604 beta (30AUG2019)

4.0.522 beta (01MAR2019)

  • Fixed a few serious memory leaks and crash causes
  • This week the routeplanning rubberbanding has been implemented. Contrary to EV3 we do NOT use tap&hold to activate rubberbanding, a simple touch on the active or WorkingOn route is enough to start the rubberbanding. Interesting to know is waypoints can now also be moved, so no need anymore to first delete a waypoint and then insert a new one. There is a minimum distance threshold : only when the routeline is dragged enough (about 1.5-2cm) a new waypoint will be created. To undo accidently created waypoints due to panning a big red X is displayed next to the newley created waypoint so the action can quickly be undone. If the old EV3 tap&hold behavior is preferred, there is a menu option in menu->System->Rubberband req. Tap&hold that can be enabled.
