Hi Tim,

The live PLOG isn't being updated on this latest version when in simulation mode (I haven't had a chance to test this in navigation mode yet). This was also the case with the 30th March beta so isn't new for this release.

What is new in this beta that can be tested?

By 'not updating' I mean that with the PLOG kept open and displayed the green progress bar does not proceed across the waypoint name as the aircraft moves and the highlight box which shows the current leg does not progress to the next leg when a waypoint is passed. If I return to the map screen and then back to the PLOG it is updated at that point only.

I installed the Beta on my Samsung smartphone running Android 4.1.2 and the live PLOG works fine. So this looks like it may be a Nexus or 5.0.x problem. Anyone else out there able to test this?

Hi Tim, what has been fixed/changed in the latest beta?

Would be handy to give a brief description of intended improvements with new beta.

Only thing I have noticed is different marking around TMZ.
All seems good on nexus 7 (12&13) 5.1


Thanks

Pete

I don't think there are any significant feature changes from the previous beta to this week's beta but there are numerous small chart tweaks such as the TMZ/RMZ markings already spotted. The complete list of changes for 3.3.0 is below, though not everything will apply to Android.

Vector aerodrome charts are now included in selected areas (iOS, Android, PC)
SIGMET are now included in the weather briefing screen (iOS, Android, PC)
TAF and METAR are now refreshed significantly faster; an average of three minutes between publication and showing in SkyDemon (iOS, Android, PC)
The TAF and METAR decode screens have been replaced with one Weather screen to improve legibility and consistency between products (PC)
The User Waypoint Editor has been overhauled to be more friendly (iOS)
Export to GFP format for the Garmin GTN series of devices is supported (PC)
The size of the font used in PLOG printing can now be explicitly specified (PC)
Increased chart loading performance on startup (iOS, Android, PC)
Highlighting of geometric and positioned items on the map has been improved, especially at large scales (iOS, Android, PC)
Stability issues affecting SkyDemon software on primarily Lollipop devices have been resolved (Android)

Simon we have reproduced the issue with the Live PLOG not updating and I hope to post another quick update later today which resolves it. The main 3.3.0 release is very imminent now.

Thanks Tim, great support!
Hopefully the PC version will resolve the plog printing peculiarities which some of us have had since 3.1.1.0
