Hi,
I use SD as a professional Helo-Pilot and I think it is the best solution for flight planning/navigation available in europe. There are two things I miss right now:
there a lot of free sources for weather radar overlays. It would be really nice to be able view precipitation radar on the map during flight (perhaps even with lightning data)
it would be very nice to be able to specify a standard height over ground (not altitude) for flight planning. every leg is automatically calculated with a user defined height over the highest point below a leg corridor.
Thank you!
Jens

Hi there,
I already had suggested this feature, but I find also important to have an overlay with the latest IR/Visual Sat view. As a helicopter pilot myself, I find sometimes useful to avoid banks of fog, and it should be a great help to have that drawn in the SkyDemon, at least for planning purposes.
For the radar view inflight I don't find it specially useful for VFR flight, although it should be available as in IR/Visual Sat view for planning purposes.
So +1 for IR/Visual Sat view/RADAR view for planning purposes.
Best regards,

I'd love too have an inflight weather radar too. A possibility to avoid false expectations would be to let it disappear if the data is older than x minutes and no updates available due to the lack of internet.
