I have previously posted that I couldnt understand how the giant runway centreline worked and asked if you could set it for the runway you were using. I was told it was automatic. I have to say that having flown into a few airfields today I really think that is a mistake!



Now every post on here I say how great SkyDemon is and I am a huge fan but as an ex PocketFMS user I have to say that was better in this area in that you could select the runway that you were going to fly to and it would show extended lines to that runway no matter which way you are coming from.



Please can we have the feature so we can choose the runway. I really think the automatic thing is a big mistake. You nearly always know miles out which runway you are using so even if it was automatic to start with an option to set the correct runway would be great.



Please?

Is there no further comment on this one. Should I stop banging on about it. I can't see how a manual override would in any way spoil the current automatic function. It would just add a bit more flexibility to runways were they are close together such as 28 and 31 at Blackpool. For most of the approach to the airfield it is showing an extended centreline to 31 when I know I will be going to 28. Being able to say I know I am actually going to 28 would helpy you line up immensely and I agree with the previous comment about mile markers too. That would be lovely.



I promise I won't post any more comments on this but I really think it would be a very good improvement for the airfields with 6 or 8 runways.
