Online / Offline
The Zurich experience consists of two versions. The standard "online" and additional "offline" version.
Online
The online version is the standard download version of the Zurich experience, distributed to all subscription customers. The file size of the experience is much smaller, but it requires that Birdly is connected to high-speed internet (100Mbit/s or faster) to stream the data directly to Birdly.
Offline
If you need the offline version of the new experience, please request it at support@birdly.com
Changing Seasons
The default season of the experience is set in the Experience Settings (See Below).
However, you can quickly change the season from summer to winter (or vice versa) by pressing the "Down Arrow" button on the Birdly Remote while someone is flying. After the flight is finished the experience will automatically go back to the default season.
