Group: Forum Members Posts: 54, Visits: 193	Since the last update it's obviously not anymore possible to have the choice to see class E or not. I would like to have this option back, because it's not useful to see the borders of class E all the time. The second change is, that now at all the airfields, where glider flying takes place, the symbol is present. Up to the last version this was hidden if one had not choosen under "airspace" the slider "Sporting Activity" . Please, give us back this opportunity, now the chart is entirely overloaded with the glider symbols. Many thanks. Mike Edited 4/30/2020 12:51:08 PM by Mike Stueber

That means that, for example, if someone suffered an injury because they flew into a winch launch cable that wasn't marked on our chart, the accident investigation team would ask us to justify why we allowed the user to hide such things, and we would need a good answer. Would you like to make such a safety case? "Because I don't like how many of them there are" doesn't cut it, unfortunately.

Pls let user decide again (like paragliders/kites) to show glider symbols as they popping up anyhow when approach ... disturbing more than they of help, a good portion not have glider activities (anymore)
