Hi dear SD users, hi dear SD team!

I hope my topic hasn't been discussed before (please delete then). I used the search but didn't find anything like that.

First and foremost: I know that SD is primarily a VFR tool but since starting my IR, I use SD for IFR flights and love the low level airways view, the possibility to download IFR plates and the approach overlays. So, I totally appreciate SD and don't think about switching to Foreflight or whatever.

But one thing I would like to suggest: Is it possible to make the SID's and STAR's as overlays? When having a lot of stress during an arrival or departure, it would help a lot to easily see minimum altitudes, speed restrictions and so on instead of switching between map and chart.

Best regards
Patrick

Hey Tim!

Thx for your answer. I totally understand that. Is it maybe a simple workaround to make SID/STAR charts slightly transparent over the map (or just a part of the map) instead of downloading them and opening in a new window?
