Something strange that may only be happening on my device is that the text size of the approach information on an airfield in the airfields tab isn't always scaled to the proper size.

However, if I select some of the text, then it is scaled properly.

Initial view:


After text is selected:

Tim,
this one seems to affect the purchased DFS plates only. E.g. take a look at EDTF (Freiburg) airfield:

- Tap EDTF (What´s here) -> Freiburg im Breisgau -> Information -> Admin Information = Fuel + SR/SS Info & Remarks are missing
- Tap EDTF (What´s here) -> Freiburg im Breisgau -> Information -> All Information - Admin = Fuel + SR/SS Info (scroll) & Remarks are present

regards

-mike

Which Remarks? Technically we shouldn't have any of those, at this point.

Currently woodland isn't included in the raw chart data for most countries, but we've published an update to our Germany chart which does include this data so you can evaluate the chart style. We hope to include the raw woodland data in most European charts next AIRAC update.


Swiss and Austrian chart is already updated. Thumbs up !!!

It already has one: at the top you should see "Pin to Journey" or similar (I can't remember the name we decided for it). Could you verify?

I was used to avoid the Information menu because it was not really useful (to me).
Now this menu is way more informative, thanks!

One suggestion: when viewing one airfield this way, it could perhaps be interesting to have an "add" button in order to put/save it in the Airfield list for futur reference and not having to go back to the Airfield tab root, click add, search for it, ...

You missed the Information option in the What's Here menu, which instantly opens the Airfields tab on that airfield, showing you its plates, weather and everything else.

Hi,

I've tried yesterday's beta on Android.

First of all, I’m very happy with the new Skydemon3 chart style. Thanks for that! Having trees back is a very good thing and this style + terrain safe makes things more readable to me.

In the meantime, I’ve confused by the new airfield management/tab. It adds many clicks and does not feel as "smooth" as previously when navigating thru multiple places.

The « find plate » has disappeared from the contextual menu when long pressing on airfields (on the map). Perhaps it’s possible to find it somewhere else but I haven’t been able to access plates for airfields that are not on the route, or marked as alternate. Yes, the « add » button is the airfield tabs is here, but it adds too much clicks and extra steps for just quick view. If I want to access the plate of an airfield I’m flying over, I don’t want to enter a « planification like » mode. The same apply when drawing a route, I want to quickly access plates without adding them all to my airfield list and make it overcrowded. Perhaps I've missed something?

Thanks,


GO
