      Hey guys

      I have been working on this for a few months now, if any one has suggestions or new features before release feel free to post here.
      I have gotten permission by RedDog for his chart data in May 2015, but still awaiting his permission to compress them (for small app size).

      It is still Work in Progress, but soon complete (need to finish rp5 release parameter calculations).
      First version will be for Android (later for Apple products, need time to recode it).

      Update: Aegean 1.5 charts will be added for release, I have just received permission from Nikos “Neystratiou” the creator.
      –-----------------

      Tactical reference with values from the falcon database. The goal is to end up with a better tacref than bms currently has.

      Optimized charts for korea + third party theaters

      Joker/bingo calculator

      Searchable brevity dictionary (from the APP-07E)

      General references (more added before release but less important)

      Thanks for lookin.

            Would love if on iOS too… I think the other mobile app is android only too. Great work either way though!

              I will get to it soon, didn’t start at same time because Apple requires you to use their hardware for best compatibility (I will have a Mac to use soon), but it will be fairly quick since the hard work is already done.

                This is going to turn my rarely used Galaxy3 tablet into a touchscreen knee-board! Can’t wait for the release. Thanks Goat!

                    It’ will be very usefull as kosmo’s app “BMS Electronic Flightbag” is not updated for long time.
                    Very usefull will be charts and interactive maps from the most used theaters (Korea, Balkans, Aegean, Israel, EMF etc.), default radio frequancies (blue, red, default), engaging rings and altitudes (min-max) in Tactical Reference.

                    Thank you OldGoat5 for this app and I hope to see it soon in public and often updated.

                      This looks ambitious! I like where it seems to be going.

                        Nice!
                        Now it’s coming to the V-pilots.
                        I already wonder how all the pedestrians make it through the city looking down on their tiny screens with two earplugs blocking out the car noises, too.
                        Now imagine the ‘next gen pilots’ … lol

                        The more informed and ready to calculate a pilot is, the less time is spend heads down.
                        I like it very much, but the ambition should be to use it in order to overcome it, or at least minimize usage time.

                        As always - it is up to us …

                        Thank you very much for your hard work!

                        Regards,

                            Hello,

                            Should before August unless the beta test takes longer.

                              I’m just curious - that screenshot with tower frequencies on it, how readable is that? It looks pretty small, I could see it on my tablet screen being usable but not so sure about a mobile device (like a cell phone).

                                Scales with screen. Differences in resolution will make those screenshot sizes look different than irl.

                                Those were taken on a phone, galaxy s4.

                                  Would look fine on my phone I suspect.

                                    Ah you meant the balkans image. If you click it, it will bring up dialog where you can zoom like the other charts, if you want a bigger view. It is fine on a galaxy s4 though.
