Foreflight 10.5: still no IFD support

Are you looking for the IFD ADS-B IN to be shown in FF?

And that is why I continue to rely on the Lynx NGT-9000 for traffic and weather on Foreflight (and it is dual-band in).  Just wished that it would function reliably as a WIFI server with the IFD (it works for a while and then loses connection).

So the reply I got was similar to everyone elses

<<Jeb here. Thank you for reaching out to us again regarding this issue. I just check with engineering and they reported back that they have made progress towards resolving this issue, but I do not have a timeline to offer on when a solution will be implemented. I've also shared your comments with the team that is working on that project.>>

I didn't rest there.  I then asked if that meant " it is only a question of time but it will happen?"

His reply was encouraging:

<<That is correct. This is a known issue that our team is working to resolve but do not have a timeline on when that feature will be available.>>

So I guess, in time this will be corrected and available to us.

Avidyne is working on a fix. 

If there's no flight plan in Foreflight, there's no symbol to transfer to or from Foreflight.

Do instructions appear anywhere in writing?  Pilots Guide? Book?

Thanks. I'll check it out over the weekend.

In the other direction, one may need to take a bit of care depending on how many routes are saved.

1) The xfer from FF to the IFD saves the route under the "orig TO dest" route name. The route then needs to be selected and activated. I consider this to be a good thing. Replacing an active route in the air could be dangerous. However, the IFD does not position the cursor over the newly added route; it just says that the route is ready. If you already have one or more routes with the same orig-dest, then it will be necessary to scroll through the list looking for the one that was transferred, and if there was already one (or more) with the same name, then each needs to be opened looking for the right one. However, the routes created via the FPL tab on the IFD are "orig-dest" named while those coming from FF are "orig TO dest" so there is a slight difference when searching.....

2) If there are many routes in the IFD, it may be necessary to do some significant scrolling to get the to desired transferred route.

Neither of these considerations are of concern to anyone who keeps the route list in the IFD short and/or empty.

Sorry for all the questions. Brand new owner.
