This just gets better and better.



I love the new integrated route planner/plog feature.



I've just been playing with today's beta release and would like to suggest a couple of improvements.



1) When pressing 'Accept' on the startup screen there can be a long-ish delay until anything happens - please can you indicate that the system is starting up (e.g grey out the buttons) so that I'm sure that my button push has been accepted. This applies not just to this release, but all previous releases have the same niggle.



2) The wind instrument: I would like the wind barb to rotate when using a 'heading-up' display so that I can have an immediate idea of relative wind direction and strength. Can we have a third option to show X-Wind so that the instrument can display wind barb, head/tailwind or crosswind from Left/Right.



Keep up the great work.

I agree,  new beta just gets better and better with features.

My comments;

Runway leadins displayed are too long as mentioned above.

On computer simulation the "next" is displayed on a black background and present position given in words. On my mobile device only "next" shows and is still on whatever colour map background is moving underneath. A fixed dark background will make it easier to read on a mobile device. (assume this is not peculiar to my device).

Cannot see any easy quick way of "selecting/forcing" the "next" route way point from the planned list. Maybe I'm missing something but still cannot see how to skip one or more of the planned waypoints without trying to create a brand new plan in flight on the mobile device. Could our "planned route waypoints" be shown in the "direct to" list maybe so that they can be easily selected, or have a "select next" button in the route table ?

Excellent, look forward to final release. Smile
