Group: Forum Members Posts: 147, Visits: 2.1K	Hi, With the very high temperatures we have in West Europe this week, I've realized that the almost only information I don't have in Skydemon is a density altitude calculator. I do not speak about implementing a complete performance calculator (this is not what I expect from SD), but a gentle calculator with a clear marking of the density altitude for a specific place (METAR-based) could be a gentle reminder that reviewing the performance tables is not optional. Today, due to the temperature, taking-off from my usual airfield would have been very challenging M

Please include this feature. Without mentioning it, this feature has been included for many aerodromes on the airport information page, thank you very much! At the moment it's only included for larger airfields. Will it come for all places?
