+x screen - 5/29/2020 9:22:57 AM+x Hamish Mead - 5/19/2020 1:22:37 PMCorrect me if I'm wrong @screen – I finally saw the feature requested in your first post:My understanding is the request is for multi-day GFS forecasted cloud base and visibility data to be added to the GFS wind and precipitation data already available in SD; 24 hrs ahead for wind and unspecified for rainfall data – according to the latest user manual.I agree: It would be great to be able to pick up just one app, SD, and with a quick zip back and forth of a slider UI, see both a plan (and ideally cross-section) view of multi-day forecast weather along my desired route.Currently, if the weather might be at all murky for the days I have available to go VFR flying, I need to enter my route in a meteogram site/app such as autorouter.aero's gramet (pretty pdf output, easy UI) or Ogimet.com's gramet (almost as nice, but a poor UI) and play with the flight time to derive the best day – and time of day for my flight. Or in yet another weather site/app in which a time of day slider is provided, such as weatheronline.co.uk ~ Cloudbase (GFS) or wxcharts.com ~ Overview (ICON-EU) - and thereafter imagine my route relative to the terrain and weather.So +1 to include in SD, a graphical plan (and ideally cross-section) view of GFS sourced visibility and cloud-base for the x days in advance the GFS system can facilitate, or some reasonable compromise, say 2 - 5 days if its otherwise a significant load on the SD servers.Yes, exactly, it would be an enormous relief!
