Things I’d like to see which have never been added after all these years:
When pinging airfield tab the main freq and airfield height are shown against the airfield name, this would save further screen changes to fond them out.
When pinging the Radio tab the destination main freq is top of the list.
When pinging ‘direct to’ the original destination is top of the list. This enables resetting the route easily when you’ve been bumbling and you decide it’s time to head to where you want to go.
Merging logs works even when ‘the flight appears to start from a takeoff’ and so logs interrupted by circuits and low passes can be merged. Or logs don’t automatically stop and start when you go near or onto the ground.
I use SlyD extensively all over and the lack of these features has always bugged me.

Thanks for reading, have a good festive.....;-))

Appreciate the feedback.
The radio tab doesn’t have the destination frequency until you are in top of it. Just a big list so you need to ‘find’ it.
Why not make it generally available at all times? Why would I want my home Airfield freq at all? I know what it is I imagine most people do. I also remember all my favourites, it’s new destinations I don’t know.
Does the logging algorithm have a minimum height? That might explain why my logs get split up. Flying in Norfolk? My home airfield is at 60’ they also get split up if I beat someone’s house up.
Why join the logs up? Cause it’s what I copy into my logbook. Not a flight in a few bits.
Why is ‘direct to’ sloppy? Do you always know where you are going? I often go flying and make it up. I rarely plan a local flight, why would I, I have SkyD.
‘I can see why that would be useful on a tablet but not a phone’
I always use a small iPhone, for everything. The tablet is for my passenger to look at, and PAW, and backup.
Tim, you can move this where you like, just thought I might stimulate a wish list. Obviously some folk like to tell me I’m wrong, it is my wish list so I can’t be can I.
Regards Clive
