Hi forum and of course the "Sky Demons" ;-),

‌at the moment I´d like to ask wether there is a possiblity to adjust the zoom-levels while taking off or landing.

I experienced that after take off and after starting the flightlog the zoom-level changes in a quite huge step to see the vincinity of the airfield. Is there a way to adjust the steps of zooming out of the chart for e.g. watch the traffic pattern a longer time more detailed?

The same I experienced while approaching. I would prefer or suggest a more slightly zoom-in during the approach to be sure that the traffic-pattern is close and clearly on the chart while approaching. During the last flights I always had to zoom in manually to hit the circuit properly.

I would request maybe 2 adjustable zoom-levels depending of time or distance from or to the airfield.
Is that a single user-opinion or do you agree?‌‌

Kind regards,
Renzo‌

Auto Zoom has now been available in our beta programme for most of the week, and the feedback has been excellent. It will ship in the forthcoming 3.8.2 version of SkyDemon.

SkyDemon has zoomed you right into an airfield when you actually land for quite a while, and auto zooming does not change this. We only do it if we have vector airfield details or a georeferenced plate available for it, though, otherwise there's no point. ‌‌

‌Who do I need to contact to correctly set up my ipad Sky Demon, it does everything except auto zoom on landing.
