One thing I miss almost daily when using SD are the airports traffic circuits. I know about your problems with public organizations as Skyguide. But there is another way to success:



You already have your own vector based VFR airspace data. Why don’t you just integrate vector based traffic patterns of European airports? For example www.platzrunden.de has all European traffic patterns including approach sectors and entry circuits for Garmin GPS. There it’s very easy to join downwind, turn into base and final leg.



You have to vectorize it only once because traffic patterns change rarely. For the SD customers it would be an appreciated added value to your great software!





Thanks for your excellent product SD. I love it!

Vectorised circuits would be a huge undertaking, with no clear path forward for maintaining them, and the addition of significant risk exposure when people start flying circuits "heads down" not looking where they are going because they want to follow the circuit on SkyDemon to ensure noise abatement etc. It's unlike we would invest in developing that feature.
