First of all, Sky Demon is overall a great product!

However, there is one thing that I think should be changed:
In PC-version:
When you right click on an airfield you can choose the option "information".
When you choose Information you get a description of the airfield with frequencies and runway information.
The depiction of the runway direction is not oriented relative to north, which is very confusing.

An example:
EKSJO / Ranneslatt (ESMC)

The text below the picture is correct, Runway 01/19

But the picture above the textual information shows the runway direction 280/100, which is very confusing.
If you change the orientation of the layout by 90 degrees, the runway direction will be ok, but the text will be hard to read.....

It is the same on all airfields, at least in Sweden.

I went back to an earlier version of SD (3.5.0.0), and in that version the presentation of airfield information is correct.

Skydemon is probably the only provider of airport information that doesn´t orient map (background) layouts to north.
Compare with Jeppesen layout, i e plates depicting runway direction is always on a map (background) which is oriented to north.

                 I agree that north up should always be used.
