Flyby 1.2.2 — Light Direction

October 14, 2026

Oh...hi Mark. Don't mind us; just landing for a quick update. If you're curious...

New

Light Direction: the Sun tab now maps where the sun rises and sets over your spot, and which way to face for the best light. Works offline, too.
Ideas in My Places: suggestions for where to fly next, picked from your own places when the forecast looks good. Tap one to open it.
iPhone Duo Support: unfold it, and every tab, the map, and Settings make use of the bigger screen.
Field View: stand your Duo half-open and Flyby shows your Fly Score, wind, and the next sunrise or sunset in big type. The screen stays awake while it’s up.

Simpler Locales: the options menu is gone. Edit now lives in the header, and you can save where you are right from your location’s card.
Fresh Look: the screens for adding an aircraft, planning a flight, and logging a flight now match the rest of Flyby. When you add an aircraft, you can pick any of Flyby’s 3D models for it.
Side-by-Side Details: on iPhone Duo, details open next to what you’re looking at instead of covering it.
Now on Today: the hour you’re in is labeled “Now,” so it’s easy to spot.
Smoother Sun: tapping Now on the Sun tab glides the sun back instead of jumping.

Saving your current location in Locales sometimes saved a different place.
Plan no longer says a day is over your limits when its only good hours are after dark.
Your location’s coordinates no longer show up twice in its details.

That's all for now! We'll fly back around soon. Happy flying!
