Quick question (apologies if it's already answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it....)
For some airfields (E.g. Nottingham) if I zoom in on the chart I get a detailed airfield plate, but for others (e.g. Caernarfon) it's just the runways (and unless I imagined it, the chart zoomed in automatically when I landed at Nottingham, which was nice).  What's the rationale for which airfields have which?  From what I can tell, through the custom data creator I can only create the basic version.

Many airfields have georeferenced plates (either from the AIP or Pooley's or similar) and if you've got those plates downloaded, they should appear automatically when you land, to help navigation on the ground.

There are also vector airfield diagrams that are part of the SkyDemon charts, but we've only developed those for certain airfields so far.

I think it was the latter that I was seeing - a very helpful addition - a bit more elegant that popping open the AIP plate (I've not got Pooley's/AFE subscription).
I assume there's no way to upload my own vector diagram for an unlicenced airfield?
