<div class="">Nice job! I don't fly with a tray but assumed I could slide the phone into a breast pocket (vertical default orientation) and tilt my body to advance to the next maneuver but it's not working well. I've tried all the tilt axes but the caller just runs away calling maneuvers too fast. I suspect you assume the default orientation is that the phone will be flat horizontal or close to it so its confused when the phone is vertical. </div><div class="">Maybe when the user selects their roll axis you can sample the current orientation to set the default position?</div><div class="">Also it would be nice to have a slider to adjust the sensitivity. A very still pilot could use just a small tilt to indicate whereas a pilot using more body English needs less sensitivity. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Lance<br class=""><br class="">Sent from my iPhone</div><div class=""><br class="">On Dec 8, 2014, at 3:56 PM, Peter Vogel via NSRCA-discussion <<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target="_blank" class="">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a>> wrote:<br class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Given that every sequence is changing for next year, it seems a good time to introduce people to the virtual caller application I listed on the Apple App Store yesterday:<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Video of it in action: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOEfi3VqnCQ" target="_blank" class="">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOEfi3VqnCQ</a></div><div class="">Get it on the Apple App Store: <a href="https://t.co/aIBFvQBsuI" title="https://t.co/aIBFvQBsuI" rel="nofollow" dir="ltr" style="font-size:13px;background-color:transparent;margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;color:rgb(22,122,198);text-decoration:none;line-height:17px" target="_blank" class="">https://t.co/aIBFvQBsuI</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Available now for a limited time at $1.99, price will increase soon to $2.99 This will work with every iOS device out there -- iPod touch, iPhone, iPad Mini, etc. (though I wouldn't want to put an iPad on the bottom of my transmitter to use the tilt control!) but the screen format is optimized for iPhone/iPod touch.
