toto Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 WingX Version 9 available tomorrow! The last feature has been approved and the final tests have passed. First and foremost, we would like to thank you for your patience and dedication while we worked to deliver this latest major iteration of WingX. WingX Version 9 will be available on the Apple App Store tomorrow. And note the name change, WingX Pro7 is now simply WingX. Upgrading to WingX Version 9 (Please read) WingX Version 9 is a free upgrade for all users WingX Version 9 uses a completely new and improved Moving Map which requires new Moving Map files such as the VFR Sectionals, IFR Low/High Enroutes etc. Therefore, do not update WingX immediately prior to a flight (turn off Auto Updates on the Apple Store temporarily if required). After installing WingX Version 9, you will need to download the new and improved moving map files. We strongly recommend that you upgrade to WingX Version 9 within the next two weeks to ensure continued downloading of data cycle information. What is new and improved? Here are the primary feature highlights coming with WingX Version 9: Entirely new Moving Map - this significant update has enabled us to improve the WingX experience in Version 9 and also lays the groundwork for many new great features in upcoming versions. Region downloading to reduce download time and storage space. Improved data cycle handling including dual-cycle downloading. Better and faster weather graphics as well as smoother weather animation. App and server enhancements for faster delivery of data cycle delivery. Real-time weather updates (Prog charts, icing, etc) Stratus 3 with AHRS support Many enhancements and some bug fixes. On behalf of the team here at WingX, thank you all so much for your support. WingX for Fire update WingX has been updated on the Amazon Appstore. Due to some changes with this release, including fully embracing the Cloud for faster data downloading, users will need to uninstall WingX and download this new version from the Amazon store.

carusoam Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Key word... Tomorrow.... So excited for the new app... I went immediately to find it... there goes another five minutes I can’t spend on MS! They are also dropping the goofy Pro7 from the name... a leftover from windows95 type naming..... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLCarter Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I've been using WingX for 8 years, not as popular as ForeFlight but it just seemed more user friendly than the others at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
