Would it be possible to extend the ability of SkyDemon to make it easier both to plan and to fly route legs based upon VOR radials?
For example, I've just planned a flight where I will fly from Redhill toward the DET VOR along the 260 radial with a turning point at DET260010, but this information is hard to create when dragging the line, doesn't appear on the generated PLog, and can't even be entered with the keyboard when creating a user waypoint (only lat/long format is supported). The second and third points should be easy to fix simply by giving the option to define a user waypoint using VOR/DME as an alternative to lat/long, which then also appears on the PLog. Defining a leg to be along a radial is something I concede might be harder to integrate with the SkyDemon "drag and drop" style of navigation - perhaps "snap-lines" which appear when dragging a leg within 10-degrees/30 miles of a VOR?
Thanks as always to Tim and the team for the continuous series of improvements being made to SkyDemon, and for their support during the recent Olympic restrictions.
T67M.
