Group: Forum Members Posts: 388, Visits: 8.3K	Tim Dawson (11/10/2013) I still don't understand the unit problem. My aircraft fuel is set to gallons so when I specify how much fuel I'm taking, I do it in gallons. However in the Change Units screen I've got my fuel preference to litres, so I see the prices on the map in litres. Could you briefly explain how you'd like it to be different? Cheers! Mea culpa - that's exactly what I wanted. I had thought that changing the units screen would change the aircraft fuel units as well. Having played around with it it does exactly what you say.

No log file is produced as discussed in the other topic. 2. I agree it's not terribly useful at the moment, but it does have a function which is to return to the default map projection and scale. I've just loaded the latest beta (10/10/2013) and it doesn't seem to do anything. 3. Please do give steps to reproduce if you find them! wilco 4. This is set in your Change Units screen as normal. Could you try changing and verify it works? Yes this works, but I would like to have a different units for fuel purchases (L) and planning (USGal) 5. One day soon, hopefully. And the ruler function? Thanks for the tip on Damyns Hall website, fixed. 'Top Farm' airfield seems to have reverted to very old data - runway length and other info is now incorrect.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 388, Visits: 8.3K	One or two problems encountered so far with this beta release (v3.0.0.23819): 1) As others have noted here and on Facebook the app will not start on Galaxy S2 smartphone running latest Android release. Blue startup screen appears then app closes down immediately before getting to the 'Allow' screen. 2) In the new airfield 'info' window (great idea by the way) the zoom button on the map doesn't do anything. If that is intended then should you remove the button from the map? PS can the info window default to the 'Approach' rather than 'Admin' as this is what is more likely to be required quickly in flight. 3) Had two crashes on Nexus 7 whilst panning around UK map with fuel prices displayed (not sure how relevant the fuel prices displayed is?). Cannot reliably replicate by will add info if I have more. 4) Although we plan fuel in USG we buy in Litres. The prices are correctly displayed in £/USG but it would be nice to have the option to display £/L instead. 5) Can we have the scratchpad function please on android as well?
