Prior to using the much superior Sky Angel, then subscribing to Sky Demon, I used Jepp FlightStar for my VFR planning (I admit it !).

One of the features I found really useful in FlightStar was the ability to select a waypoint airfield to land and re-fuel (or clear customes etc whilst enroute to South of France). This allowed a trip kit to be printed with all legs included in the PLOG, and to automatically dowload the approach and landing plates etc for the intermediate stops. The PLOG also calculated the diffeences in the total leg times to include the landing and take off info.

In SkyDemon currently, if I want to fly to my ususal field in the south of France, I can't capture this landing en-route data on the PLOG or virtual radar etc.

Is this functionality already included in SD and I can't find it (if so please help look in the correct direction), if not can it be added as part of the planning procedures, perhaps as a right click on an en-route airfiled with an option to land and refuel? This is then reflected in the PLOG and virtual radar, and the plates downloaded automatically if available?

Great stuff and keep up the excellent work.

Ta

Hugh

OK now I see whats meant with "blue line" and as I focused in, I see this on my side as well..

Must admit, I do not find this type of highlighting the active leg useful, not differentiated enough .. rather I would see a real blue line with a magenta fade aside or anything like this (ideally configurable). Brings me back to virtual radar, as this is then the only dominant visual indication witch leg is currently active, aside of the flight details tab, witch should have the right title.http://forums.skydemon.aero/uploads/images/981bb81e-d945-459b-94d2-dae6.png

not differentiated enough


I agree. @Tim: How about fading the magenta line for the inactive sectors?

Personally, I would follow the defacto standard set by Garmin. There, the active leg is shown in magenta and inactive ones are white. I have only very limited G1000 experience and might have this wrong but the Dynon SkyView also uses magenta and white, I believe. Since the G1000 went through all the hoops of certification, why not leech off of them whenever it makes sense?
