SkyDemon brings up a VAC for an airfield in the background if you have planned to route by it, and the VAC has been downloaded and is therefore available. It sounds like you're in a position where you want all the VACs downloaded, and you want to plan your route via an airfield, but you don't wan the VAC for that airfield showing in the background of the map. Since SkyDemon has worked the way it does for many years, perhaps you could explain your reasoning behind this? If many people would rather there were a global option to stop the automatic loading of plates, we would consider adding one.

thanks Tim. I just started noticing it more and more and figured I may have turned an option on inadvertantly but evidently not.

I just like you standard charts so much that the VAC overlay can be a bit off putting if you weren't expecting it and it suddenly appears in flight! but it's certainly nice to have it available on demand.  the most common thing required is the visual reporting points, but these are on the standard charts, so by default personally I would prefer to stick to your SD charts for consistency, and then just bring up the others as and when desired in the usual way.

recently when I've been flying I've noticed that georeferenced charts keep appearing, e.g. visual approach charts from french AIP, CICZ etc, and even if I close them with the red x, they keep coming back! now I do like those charts, but not all the time. is there a setting somewhere to turn this off by default?  thank you.

Hi Mike, I did find that section in the manual, and especially this part:

"To remove a georeferenced plate from the map just tap the red X button in the top left-hand corner, or open the Plates window and click the blue map-marker button next to the corresponding plate."

clicking the red button takes it away, but some time later it will come back again. I do not want it to appear in the first place, unless I click the blue map-marker button in the plates window to explicitly show it. It seems to show automatically it if you have ever looked at it before?

I see that you can delete them from the list and then they dont show, but then you dont have them downloaded for when you do what them! Also, the blue map-marker seems only for showing a map, not removing it?

another observation is the one automatically displayed seems irrespective of which you selected using the blue map marker, e.g. Dinard LFRD has 2 AIP charts and 2 Pooleys ones. It always picks the AIP VFR approach chart.
