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 an update. I flew with it last night into an airfield in scotland and the extended centreline thing was perfect. It is much better now it shows all available runways (i would say that because i suggested it) but there is a nice touch in that it highlights the active one. Also the ils style markings are much better than the black blob. I lined up 10 miles out for a runway that is quite hard to spot being behind a hill. Absolutely brilliant.



I also tried the instrument view on approach and that was great but it would be better if it was a split screen view or a semi-transparent overlay so you dont lose the moving map. Is that possible.



All in all some more lovely features. Well done.
