Hi,
I love the new features of Charts 8. However, it could cater a bit more to VFR operations.
I’m a real-world pilot and have to reference the FAA Airport/Facility Directory when flying, and this has information on most (if not all) public-use airports in the United States. See below for an example:
A wealth of information in the remarks, compared to…:
Similarly, in Canada, we get access to information in the Canada Flight Supplement (and Canada Water Supplement):
Once again, some nifty information (especially the procedures section) that isn’t represented as holistically in the Charts 8 version:
I realize there’s some limitations with what information can be harvested from Jeppesen, but this info is obtainable from Foreflight and Fltplan Go, which makes them so powerful. I guess I was expecting Charts 8 to have that information as well, and more.
Nonetheless, this is a good start. I look forward to seeing VFR and GA operations being more and more represented in the flight sim community.
