Hi, english is not my native language.

I will try to explain. For instans, if my airplane, have fuel for 5 hours, and the IAS is 100kt then it should be possible to draw a circle around the airplane that shows how long i could fly in those 5 hours, from my starting airport. If I have 20 kt head wind, my range will be less than if I have 20 kt tail wind, this should be calcualted for.

When airborn the circle should be drawn related to my current speed (my guess ground speed from the GPS) so that my range would be related to my actual range, if possible.

Gliding range is already included in the Skydemon.

Did this answer your question? If not I will try to explain again.

Hello,

Sounds good.

Yes, that would be useful.

In planing I imagine a circle drawn around the current last point of the route with a darker inner circle showing the safe range and a lighter outer circle (actually an annulus if you want to be anal ) reaching up to bingo time. Winds should be the same ones used for planning now. If you want to be even fancier, you could draw the range around every point along the route with a live update. That would allow you to see at one glance up to where you can reach from any point on the route.

In flight mode this shold be a selectable option for display since I am leary to clutter up the display. And, if current winds are available, use those for range calculation. And it would, of course, only be drawn around the current location.

That would be a great feature!

Yes i would also like this proposal implemented in SD

Hi all. I am wondering if you also miss a feature like the high-end glass cockpit features like the range circle related to fuel wind and current speed.

I have e-mailed Tim and asked for a feature, apparently I am the only one who has asked for this so I am starting a poll investigate if there are other like me that would like this feature.

This is what I would like to see:

In the planning mode, I would like to see a range circle of the aircraft in use visible on the map. This would relate to the current planned fuel, the wind and the speed (in the aircraft profile). A function with no wind would be good. Anouter circle for the reserve range would also be good.

In the flying mode. I would like to have the same information, but calculated by the current speed, so I will be able to see estimated range, based on the current speed, wind and fuel.

There might be other ways to do this but this is roughly, what I would like to see.

Please vote yes, if you find this to be a god idea and a feature you wish to have implemented in Skydemon.

EDIT: I triedto make a poll but did not succeed
