"Another picture-perfect flight - IMC outside - VFR inside :) Symbolic Flight is just like VFR - on approach the runway you are going to land on stays in the middle of the screen (and gets bigger) as you approach it!!" -Nat S.

LiveATC: monitor realtime Air Traffic Control via the net.

I don't know which is more amazing--that I can listen to live ATC for hundreds of airports/ARTC regions globally via the internet, or that I can do it on my iPhone from anywhere I am.

Visit http://www.liveatc.net/

Been listening to Oakland Center all morning. This can be very instructive, listening when you are not trying comply and fly the airplane at the same time. I get a real sense of how the controllers change behaviors and demeanor as… Continue

Putting together a portable system with Symbolic Flight

The Year of the Tablet: 2010 will see hundreds of Windows 7-based competitors to the iPad. The ideal device is not available...YET! But we have a feeling 2010 based on convergence of technology and the market that 2010 is the year.



Keep your eye on the HP iSlate, due to ship the same date as the Apple iPad. Same capability and form factor--and probably same price. The iSlate is a full Windows computer… Continue

3.0 Update

3.0 is not yet released. A total rewrite, it embodies everything we learned from the current version and a great deal more we imagined and makes it all much simpler as well as ten times faster--meaning 3.0 works snappily on older machines such as the LS800. The AOPA link happened before we were ready, so we plead patience--the trial version you download only hints at what 3.0 can do. All owners of Symbolic Flight will be upgraded to 3.0 when it releasesContinue

Q1 Ultra question

Will Symbolic Flight Software run on the older 800 MHz Q1 Ultra or must it be the faster 1.1 MHz processor?.

Hi Paul, Got SF/GE working on my Viliv x70 and initially it seemed like the GPS was working too.  I find my SiRF Star III card runs at 9600 baud on COM2.  But the connection doesn't seem to survive stand-by mode - usually you'd want to pre-fly, get…
