Having played with this beta for an hour or so, my first impressions are that the mapping engine is a nice improvement. I have found a couple of points for discussion.
1. Upon starting Skydemon on my PC, the map does not get drawn until it gets a callback from a move request.
2. At high levels of zoom, route waypoints have a black square around them.

However, overall I'm still very pleased with your software.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. A number of these issues have now been resolved and we'll be posting an updated beta this afternoon, hoping for general release this weekend. The swiping gestures weren't purposefully removed, that was a bug.

The size of the runway end buttons is defined in inches and should be just right, unless you've set a DPI for your device which is not its actual DPI. By all means post screenshots of any such issues to give us some more insight.

Map rendering now happens in the background to keep the map responsive, and this will lead to a very slight slowdown. I suspect the slowness you're seeing is much larger, though, and is because in the current beta we still had one important optimization left to turn on. This has now been done, so in this afternoon's beta you should see a speed improvement.

We may add selection of a specific circuit direction in a future release if lots of people are after that feature.


I tried out the latest 2.3 beta on an airbus yesterday and at greater than 200 knots the map redrawing couldn't keep up such that the terrain didn't reappear and the screen remained blue (i.e. as if over water). Previous versions (before new engine) worked fine under similar conditions using same device (4.3" Aware)
