Foreflight missing things

[murphey]

With the last release of FF, I've noticed 3 things missing that were there before

private airports
street view
aerial view

I really miss the street view, came in really handy when I was commuting to Colorado Springs, I could pull up weather over the streets to check on alternate routes

Still here. Did your Terrain Map expire or need to be re-downloaded?

The terrain mapmis there, just not street and aerial.

Weird

In settings be sure you have private airports turned on. Also make sure you're terrain map is up to date.

I guess the larger question is why would anyone want to turn private airports off. I guess there's a reason some would but I can't think of one.

Are you using IOS 9? Foreflight sent a warning that they are not totally ready for the ios9 application.

More detail below

ForeFlight Mobile 7.3 is compatible with Apple iOS 9, with the exception of two minor issues: METARs and TAFs may load slowly in the Airports view when “Show Weather First” is enabled in More > Settings (disabling that setting should resolve the issue), and there is a scrolling problem on the Scratchpads view when there are enough saved scratchpads to fill the screen. We have submitted a minor version update to Apple that resolves both of these items and should be available for download soon.

Sounds like they are ready for iOS9 if they've already submitted an update to correct those two issues.

Is it possible those layers are hidden if the device does not have an Internet connection?

All those layers still show up on mine with 7.3 and iOS 8.4.1 - even in airplane mode (although two of them don't work without internet, of course). I'm not going to upgrade to 9 until after a trip on October 3 - hopefully any problems will be known and fixed soon thereafter.

By the way, I just noticed that the FF 7.3.1 patch is already available in the app store.

update....the street view only appears in fairly cose view such as 30 nm from one side of thr screen to the other. As for the private airports, I think its an issue of space. They appear on the chart but I can't use a private airport as a destination or part of a route.

Street view and aerial view need an active internet connection.

Interesting. Out of curiosity, I decided to create a round robin that used nothing but private airports. Pretty straightforward. Is "Show private airports" turned on in More | Settings | Preferences | Show Private Airports?

Here's the screen capture. ForeFlight 7.3.1 operating in an iPad 3 with iOS 9.

show-off!

show-off!

If I wanted to show off, I'd use airports near you

BTW, the one in the southwest corner, at Carthage, has a great BBQ restaurant on the field. C'mon down. Or, actually out - KAPA to KTTA (my home base) is a heading of 085°. Of course, it is 1,27 NM.

Like I said, I probably did or didn't do something right.
