Automatic Overlay of Georeferenced Charts

Group: Forum Members Posts: 626, Visits: 15K	I have "Automatically Show Georeferenced Plates" enabled and I have a subscription to Pooleys. It used to be the case that when approaching an airfield, the Pooleys plate would be loaded and overlaid on the chart, but recently, SD's own plate has been loaded and overlaid on the chart instead. I understand that this is the default and it cannot be changed. Since my preference is for the Pooleys plate to be automatically loaded and overlaid on the chart, I would like to request this as a user selectable option please. I am sure that users of other flight guides would appreciate the option too.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 626, Visits: 15K	+x Tim Dawson - 11/6/2019 11:40:05 AM I must be confused, because we haven't changed any behaviour in this area for at least a year or two. It's the way it has always worked. It's quite simple really. With "Automatically Show Georeferenced Plates" enabled and prior to the introduction of SD vectored mapping of airfields in the base map, my Pooley's georeferenced plates were shown overlaid as expected. Since the introduction of SD vectored mapping of airfields in the base map, my Pooley's georeferenced plates are no longer displayed. I would simply like the former functionality restored. That is to say, with "Automatically Show Georeferenced Plates" enabled I expect my Pooley's georeferenced plates to be displayed, over riding SD's built-in vector mapping. Georeferenced VAC's are automatically displayed, so why not Pooley's plates? Essentially, there is no difference. Both sets of charts are georeferenced, but for some reason, it appears that Pooley's plates being discriminated against! I appreciate that the status quo has probably been in place for quite a while, but I have only raised this now, because I was getting increasingly frustrated with having to manually overlay my Pooley's plates when "Automatically Show Georeferenced Plates" is enabled and it not happening!
