Hi forum and of course the "Sky Demons" ;-),

‌at the moment I´d like to ask wether there is a possiblity to adjust the zoom-levels while taking off or landing.

I experienced that after take off and after starting the flightlog the zoom-level changes in a quite huge step to see the vincinity of the airfield. Is there a way to adjust the steps of zooming out of the chart for e.g. watch the traffic pattern a longer time more detailed?

The same I experienced while approaching. I would prefer or suggest a more slightly zoom-in during the approach to be sure that the traffic-pattern is close and clearly on the chart while approaching. During the last flights I always had to zoom in manually to hit the circuit properly.

I would request maybe 2 adjustable zoom-levels depending of time or distance from or to the airfield.
Is that a single user-opinion or do you agree?‌‌

Kind regards,
Renzo‌

Most people say, "I think this function should be implemented and made optional for those who don't want it." What this results into is a jungle of settings and options that confuses everybody and makes nobody happy. Good software has to steer a judicious course when it comes what to include and what not to include as a function. And Tim does an admirable job in that department!!!

Wow, what a productive statement. Thanks for that great moment.
And your opinion to what is really discussed here?  Or better "???"

Can you be troubled to scroll up a few posts to where I have posted my opinion?

Sorry Chris‌ for being a bit unreflected.

I
‌a) forgot your post concerning the subject which was of course clear enough on the topic
‌and
‌b) of course I recognize Tims (and the whole SD-Teams) fabulous job they do!
and
c) ‌‌of course he has to keep an eye on the whole product.

So sorry again if I replied a bit "too straight." - but I tried to fight for this (in my opinion) very, really useful feature ;-)

Kind regards,
Renzo‌‌‌
