...the 100$ investment for the iPad yoke mount was the best upgrade I have made this year :-)

Nice setup! Seeing that you have invested in good hardware, I'm wondering if you know about ForeFlight and its ability to create a moving map from P3D (I think) since you have the pad right in front of you.

That's a lot of GoFlight! I love it! I only have 2 panels and would love to get a few more but I'm nervous because my units frequently freeze up on me. I've tried 2 different powered USB hubs and different ports as well. Which do you find is the one you couldn't live without?

Yeah, I also struggled with the hubs at the beginning...now I connect the radio units directly to the PC - I have an extra PCI card with 4 USB sockets. The units with LED's draw a lot power.

Yep, I have been using ForeFlight for many years and now with the Flight1 app it is even better! :)
