I have my system running on an assumption of every flight being flown at 3000ft. As a consequence, I presume, the winds aloft are also for 3000ft.

Now I'm struggling to find the right button(s) to press and set it at 1000ft.

Somebody please remind this numpty Smile

Tim,

Back to this one again - on an iPad using the latest build.

I'm finding the wind arrows to be somewhat hit and miss when it comes to the altitude they relate to.

I'm currently planning a demo route from Welshpool to Tatenhill at 5000'. The wind arrows are displayed as per 700' as that was the planned altitude for a previous route, which was saved and then scrubbed via 'Start again'.

Changing the planned level by dragging on the virtual radar does not dynamically adjust the level of the wind arrows displayed; you have to kill the app and restart it to force to to do that. Not very elegant!

I may be wrong, but I'm sure at one point it behaved better than this.
