Hello Forum,

after the last update of SD I miss the button „weekend view on/off“ to show or hide airspaces.

Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks
Dirk

Although I understand the intention I wonder if too much "automatic / dynamic hiding", especially of airspaces, is a good thing. As a pilot I don't know exactly where the underlying data of an app / SD is coming from or if it's always 100% accurate or up to date. 

So at least for me, I try to always have all (potentially important) information on my screen and that is - as a minimum - a digital chart that corresponds to the "official" one (where all airspaces are depicted, even the ones that are only partially active). 

So even if it somewhat defeats the purpose of a digital chart (being able to dynamically change things) I would appreciate an option to turn weekend view OFF and see inactive "clutter".

I really don't want to end in a situation where I'll unintentionally fly into an airspace because I "trusted" SD (which didn't depict it bc of the weekend view) but it was active because of whatever reason....

(e.g. maybe you had the "weekdays only" airspace present during your planning and cross checking with the official chart but lets be honest: once you're airborne you trust what you see and that will be probably SD 80% of the time and 20% the official chart. So there is the real probability that you'll fly into an area where there might be an airspace that you aren't aware of at the time - which simply isn't...cool?!)
