This just gets better and better.



I love the new integrated route planner/plog feature.



I've just been playing with today's beta release and would like to suggest a couple of improvements.



1) When pressing 'Accept' on the startup screen there can be a long-ish delay until anything happens - please can you indicate that the system is starting up (e.g grey out the buttons) so that I'm sure that my button push has been accepted. This applies not just to this release, but all previous releases have the same niggle.



2) The wind instrument: I would like the wind barb to rotate when using a 'heading-up' display so that I can have an immediate idea of relative wind direction and strength. Can we have a third option to show X-Wind so that the instrument can display wind barb, head/tailwind or crosswind from Left/Right.



Keep up the great work.

Just to add my views: Great enhancements. Very well done to you.

I really like the Route review and the size of the text is really readable ( I just need to succeed in installing the Large keyboard by Steveup)

The ATC services is also excellent, as is the wind indicator, when I eventually realised it had to be turned on in the settings.

Whilst I also really like the new extended runways, showing them all and highlighting the most obvious, my own personal preference would be to make them shorter. They currently extend to about 20 nm, where I would prefer between 5  to 10, max. I do very much like how you have displayed them though.

Re the above post about the 'accept' button, it is probably different on different devices, but mine starts to load  almost immediately after clicking it, but can't comment on other devies.

Thanks you for the work you have done on our behalf, you've done a good job. I also agree with the comments in the above post about the wind direction indicator when in 'track up' mode
