Hello,

I'm a french glider/plane/helicopter pilot from the Paris area (LFPN).
I'm currently evaluating your amazing software.
Only one concern keeps me refraining from buying it: helicopters have special VFR routes around Paris, these routes are drawn on a special map (CTR PARIS Itinéraires Hélicoptères) since these routes follow roads or train tracks. There are also special waypoints some of them are already present in SkyDemon (WH5, WH3, IH2 etc.) some are not.

Do you think you could add these routes and waypoints in SkyDemon?

Thanks!

This is a very old version of the map, just to show what it looks like: http://images.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&source=imgres&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwjxg7O29-fKAhUJtxoKHaPkATwQ5hMIBTAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm3.static.flickr.com%2F2329%2F2209538263_69ff061a1f_o_d.jpg&usg=AFQjCNED53aZ_eEI8yeBQRelzDGUM0EHsA

We definitely have both those areas of airspace. Regrettably, though, there is no mention of the heli routes you're talking about in either of those sections of the AIP.
