Andreas: I do not know what you mean by aerobatic boxes. From memory, we hadn't had such things in our Germany chart but perhaps I am wrong. Regarding the airspace labels, that kind of labelling doesn't work too well with a dynamic chart like SkyDemon's, where airspace can be shown or hidden depending on user settings. I meant this little Aerobatix Box Drochtersen NW of LBV VOR is not on the PC-Beta (313.6.0) but on the iPad beta (313.6.234). This info is very useful

Hang-gliding and paragliding areas can also be turned off as they are classified as Sporting airspace. I think some of you may be asking us to turn off the display of winch launching cables, which would be quite dangerous. Can you confirm? Mike, I think this was you?

I believe these are places where hang-gliding etc. takes place. And it's not possible to hide these symbols. For my opinion it would be enough to see the glider-symbols at the airfields, which are not labeled with"G". At all the places wich are signed with "G" one know that there is glider-traffic and winch-launching. Kind regards, Mike Edited 5/6/2020 9:51:45 AM by Mike Stueber

Chris Agree with Tim, they really can kill you and should be shown. Chris: I do not think that the size of the symbols is too large. Especially i flying mode they make you aware of possible quite dangerous areas. Johannes

Chris, have you already used the waypoint size control to make waypoints smaller? If so, we could tie it in to that, conceivably.
