DFS chart style and airspace „E“

H Group: Forum Members Posts: 32, Visits: 15	Hi! I installed the latest update today on my iPad mini 5 and now I can‘t choose not to display lowered airspace E anymore... The reason I want that is quite simple: it nearly has no importance for flying anymore but it often is located below C or D airspaces. Since it now is displayed exactly the same as the surrounding lateral boundaries of C or D airspaces it has great potential to be misinterpreted... So my suggestion would be to either make the E airspace lines more transparent or in green colour like with your SkyDemon chart styles or provide us with an option not to display it at all. Thx in advance, Björn

Chris You are right, airspace A through D should be easy to distinguish from E, and preferably with a thicker, transparent band. What I like is the decluttered optic, but in certain areas, as you pointed out, this is not sufficient. YouTube channel Edited 5/2/2020 7:58:55 AM by Johannes B.
