This release was a long time coming! Today, version 0.9.5 was released to production. It includes some exciting new features:

• We now have limited support for flight plans in the United States and Australia. We are in the process of adding support for low level airways in Australia and United States.
• We’ve revamped the way flight plans are organized. They should be much more simple to manage and understand.
• A bunch of bug fixes (behind the scenes stuff), please continue to report them!
• We”ve updated our databases to include the latest navaids and airports.
• You can now plan your flight for any arbitrary date/time.

We’re working as hard as possible to get a 1.0 release this spring. We’re very appreciative of everyone with their bug reports. It’s going to help make this product better for everyone to use.
If you have any additional features you’d like to see, please let us know. In the works right now are:

• Printable ICAO flight plans. So you can fax them to NavCanada or leave them with your dispatcher.
• A “point and click” option for planning your flight. Use the map to click on your waypoints and hit “plan!”
• A “quick plan” option for planning your flight. You will be able to enter in your flight plan using the standard ICAO format, then hit “plan!”.

We’re currently looking for some Australian pilots to help test the software for plans within Australia. Please let us know if you can help out.
