0.9.4 Released!

This past Monday we released version 0.9.4 of WFP for testing.
The majority of changes are behind the scenes as bug fixes, but there are some feature enhancements that the testers have requested that are now available:

  • We’ve added the “google roads” layer to the map. This additional base layer may be helpful to VFR pilots to navigate around.
  • A new map layer called “VFR Waypoints” is now available
  • The navaid frequency (for tuning in a VOR or NDB) is now displayed in the nav log
  • A warning is displayed if you are likely to fly through Class “F” airspace. At the moment there is no altitude defined for this type of airspace so even though you may be flying higher than it, it still gives you a warning.
  • You can now choose how far back you would like pireps to display on the map. You can change this setting in your user preferences.

The testing from our beta testers has been invaluable! Keep sending in your feedback and suggestions!

Inching Closer to Version 1.0

We’ve just released version 0.9.3 yesterday as we make our way to version 1.0. This release covers a bunch of bug fixes and feedback from a few users. Here is a quick rundown of what has changed:

  • A list of all the airspace, and it’s type is now displayed on the nav log page. You can see at a quick glance (without looking at the map) what types of airspace you may be flying through.
  • You can now login using your email address instead of your username.
  • A list of pireps within 25nm of your route is displayed in the nav log page.
  • Fixed a bug whereby you had to type in all the identifiers in upper case. You can now use both upper case and lower case letters for identifiers.
  • Incorporated some changed due to user feedback.

We still have a lot planned for the next version! So if you want to help shape the tool, submit your feedback and we’ll be sure to incorporate it into the next version.
