Release notes for version 1.2.0
Dropped features
-
Self-geo-referencing of charts. This feature was deemed too complicated and dangerous and was therefore dropped.
AIP update
-
Allow switching between the AIP-VFR and AIP-IFR of Germany. (The maps in the AIP-IFR are not geo-referenced!)
-
Thanks to more intensive caching and a few other measures, IP blockages by the DFS should no longer occur. (See: https://github.com/mipastgt/AIPBrowserDE-Public/issues/19)
-
Display a message when the model data is updated from the server.
Geo-referencing
-
Consistent naming of exported, airport-related file names. They now always start with the ICAO code and are separated from the name part by a '_'. This follows the convention used by some flight planning programs. (E.g., SkyDemon, https://www.skydemon.aero)
-
Support for general, affine transformations. It is now possible to geo-reference rotated aerodrome maps.
-
Pre-transformation of exported images so that, for example, rotated images can also be used with VFRNav or EasyVFR.
-
The airport and taxi charts of all international airports in Germany (EDDx) are now geo-referenced.
Trip-Kits
-
Add dates and abbreviations to the TOC of native trip-kits and to the manifest of ForeFlight content packs.
-
When exporting aerodrome pages as a single file to a native trip-kit, the generated section names in the PDF now start with the ICAO code, which corresponds to the actual sort order.
-
VFRNav encoding of geo-reference data in trip-kits is now possible.
-
Simplified trip-kit generation with just a few mouse clicks.
-
The trip-kit creation can now be canceled.
Release notes for version 1.1.5
AIP update
-
A message is shown when new AIP model data or auxiliary model data was loaded.
-
A consistency check of the geo-info is performed after the AIP data has been updated from the server.
Trip-Kits
Versions
The new trip-kit configuration version is 1.0.3
.
Native Trip-Kits
An entry abbreviation
was added to the TOC file together with the effective and the expiration date.
The TOC file now looks like this:

ForeFlight Content Packs
In the trip-kit configuration you can now specify an abbreviation

"abbreviation": "AIP-VFR-DE",
This is written to the generated manifest.json file.
In addition, the effective and the expiration date of the AIP-VFR is automatically added to the manifest. A generated manifest might look like this:
{ "name": "AIP-VFR-Germany-Charts-Only", "abbreviation": "AIP-VFR-DE", "expirationDate": "20240208T00:00:00", "effectiveDate": "20240111T00:00:00", "organizationName": "AIP Browser DE" }
