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

Hi I am using SD 38172 in iPhone connected to a Pilot Aware device with bearingless targets displayed.

On a recent flight I was surprised to receive an alert on screen warning about traffic "behind". Firstly I was not sure how you could tell that the traffic was behind being bearingless and more worryingly when I played the track back using Flight Aware the aircraft was actually ahead.

Thanks

Giles
