First of all - thanks for the inclusion in the recent german charts. In the majority of approaches/departures there is no need for more information as pictured in these chart traffic circuit diagrams, except maybe for the traffic circuit altitude (which is depicted < 50k zoom only, maybe 100k would be an option). Hence the automated display of the georeferenced chart adds no further level of information & it often needs some loading time too. So a disable option on automated georeferenced chart loading would be helpful. What do you think about it ?

best regards

We will consider it if people ask for it, certainly. Bear in mind though, that the plates will not automatically appear unless you have downloaded them. We think the user downloading them is a good indicator of whether they are interested in them. They can always been deleted again, too.

I also would like to vote for showing the traffic pattern altitude consequently.
A pattern is incomplete without the altitude information. Only showing it on 50k and less is not sufficient. Please raise it immediately to at least 100k. In my eyes, the altitude should be shown already on the 250k scale.

Also, I didn't see how the colors communicate the type of pattern. I've seen white and blue, and blue seems to be for smaller aircraft like microlight and glider. Is this correct?

Apart from that, it's a huge benefit to have the patterns directly on the map. Thanks for implementing this. I like it very much!
