I would like to come back on this feature.
First of all: SD is great and probably the Program with the best price-value-relation I own. Also it still makes big steps to get even better. The option to use the iOS-App on Silicon Macs is fantastic and no longer to cope with the windows version for planning, is a relief.
Although in my opinion climb and descent planning is neglected. Its as important as route planning, but it seems to doesn't matter.
It should be possible to define a climb or descent rate any specific leg. Not for the whole aircraft and thats it.
Also it would be helpful to see this rates as well as the planed Altitude in Virtual Radar At least if the User enables this Option. In the windows GUI its standard to see at least the Altitude in the info box (Picture 1). In iOS its hidden behind the leg name which I found only by chance, as the icon > for submenu is missing (Picture 2).
For a useful climb and descent planning it's also necessary to define, where the altitude change has to start and/or end (TOC, TOD i. e.). At present this can only be influenced with the two options „Change level before this leg starts“ or „Start changing level when this leg starts“. For this reason it is necessary to set a lot of waypoints, which are not actually waypoints. This again makes it confusing and will create a unnecessary inflated flightplan.
P. S. Uploading Pictures seems not to work.
