Hi Again
‌
‌In Navigation Options I can choose Aircraft Trajectory Display as "Time Ahead" or "Distance Ahead".

Unfortunaly the graphic representation of the two options is identical, so I can't see from the map display which option is currently active.

My suggestion is a minor change of the display of Aircraft Trajectory Display, so I easily can see which option is used by only looking at the trajectory display since I might switch between the two options.

I'm not sure how to make this difference, but a possible solution might be a little cl‌ock in the end of the "Time Ahead" trajectory display?

Maybe an option to show both Time Ahead and Distance Ahead at the same time could be useful, but regarding this I have no clue on how to represent this in a SkyDemon way without making the display too complex.‌‌

Different colour for each?

or write on the trajectory at the nose of the airplane a "km" or "min"

could have one side the minutes and the other the miles on the same line

Just to illustrate the idea:

|_______________|_______________| _______‌___NM
           |                             |                     |          min

Hi

I really like your suggestions.

Both the marking of “nm” vs “min” but also the suggestion for displaying both distance and time at the same time.

I hope the SkyDemon Team will implement one or more of your suggestions 😃

This topic has been discussed in detail previously here‌‌.

It was also discussed in detail on a Facebook post we did, where we showed a prototype which displayed distance on one side and time on the other. Overall it was deemed too complicated.

AH there it was. I knew I made a proposal regarding this but could not find it back.... It was on FB...
Thanks... I already was thinking I suffered of Alzheimer's disease‌
