With the new printing centre, I find the new PLOG format on A4 portrait is pretty much unreadable in the air.



Like many, I use an A5 kneepad, and used to print the plog onto A4 portait, and fold down a bit to fit. However the font size is too small for my aged eyes!



I would like to be able to remove a few columns - especially the duplication of To/From columns. Also ideal would be the ability to add/remove radio entries



The title is pretty horrible - if I plot a round robin route, it insists on calling it, for example, Bourn - Bourn,ignoreing where I am going. Could we not use the saved file name as alternative?

The latest PLOG format works well with the exception of the font size for the 'From/To' section. When I print the PLOG in an A5 format using the print 'Two Per Page' the font size for this entire section becomes significantly smaller than the other sections. If it would be possible to make all the font sizes the same as the one used in the radio frequency section that would be much appreciated.



Just downloaded the beta version 2.1, it looks very impressive and I'm particularly looking forward to trying out the Instrument screen in flight.

It would be useful to have an option to shorten the names of waypoints somehow. Perhaps using ICAO for airfields. If I am using A5 kneeboard format, having a column wide enough to accommodate 'Chichester Goodwood (ICAO)' means that the fonts for numbers get very small. Maybe wrap the text but break with a hyphen so one could retain a fairly narrow column width? If I add a user defined waypoint I get a very long pair of coordinates which also then reduces the font size for numbers.



I actually gain a little bit of font size by selecting orientation landscape, and then setting left margin to 1 and right to 135. I don't use the two per page because that sometimes makes the PLOG a little bit smaller than necessary. It is annoying that I can't set that as a default that is saved in settings. I have to keep reformatting every time.



Great package - keep the improvements coming!
