Hi Tim,

I'm absolutely missing a function to set horizontal and vertical scale for virtual radar!
The automatic zoom is by far not sufficient for many situations in the alps.

When crossing the alps, you often cannot fly the planned route due to cloud conditions.

After crossing the alps N->S i.e. in 12000 ft, typically a descent down to 1000 ft follows.
This area is crowded with military airspace, class D airspaces and controlzones of different airports.
Parts of the planning becomes useless and you have to do some ad hoc planning in flight in a complicated airspace structure.

But SD lets me look ahead only a few minutes, which is not enough for a 11000 ft standard descent.

Similar situations can occur during climb to higher altitudes.

Regards

Gerhard, most of your posts have been complaints about various different areas of SkyDemon.

Speaking very generally, most of our tens of th‌ousands of users are happy with the way SkyDemon works at the moment. I say that to illustrate why we do not make many changes to the way the product works at this stage: we don't want to mess with the winning formula. Perhaps there is an alternative product from a different manufacturer which caters more to your specific needs? We cannot please everybody all the time and we do not seek to do so. We would be delighted if you keep using SkyDemon but please do not expect the many changes you have mentioned to be written into our product.

We will not be implementing a compl‌‌ex virtual radar zooming and panning solution on tablets.
