Plates tab has been replaced with Airfields tab. This is mainly a reorganisation to make things easier to get to, with less scrolling, but also we've taken the opportunity to provide better access to our own data about airfields in the same tab.
When you plan a route from A to B all the enroute airfields are automatically present in the Airfields tab, of course. But you can add other airfields to that list too; just like you could with the old Plates tab except now your list of "extra" airfields is saved along with your route, so you know their briefing information will be there at the touch of a button when you fly.
This is obviously a fairly significant reorganisation but hopefully it has resulted in more information at your fingertips with less looking around to find it. The Information link for airfields from the What's Here menu takes you to the tab too. The full screen Airfield Information window hasn't gone anywhere, but it will be updated to incorporate the new approach/admin views that you'll see in the Airfields tab.
A new chart style called SkyDemon 3 has been introduced, which compared to SkyDemon 2 changes the terrain colours and reintroduces large areas of woodland. Currently woodland isn't included in the raw chart data for most countries, but we've published an update to our Germany chart which does include this data so you can evaluate the chart style. We hope to include the raw woodland data in most European charts next AIRAC update.
