Hi,
‌
T‌his is perhaps the first time I do not buy an UI change. This new warning tab is fine, but I really wonder if the impact on the flight tab worths it. Adding warning to the NOTAM tab (all persons of interest ‌at the same place) would have possibly been an option, with a different name of course. At the end, the new warning tab takes a huge part of the screen for a very limited number of entries in most cases.

A‌nyway, it's done now, but the way W&B is now "hidden" makes me asking myself: Am I the only one doing an almost systematic calculation with passengers? Now it appears as a second zone capability, the one you will use very rarely.

The majority of users do not use the weight and balance functionality, but we take your point. If two-touch access to that feature is evidently very important to lots of users, we will add back a quicker way to access Flight Details.

Having played around today with 3.9 (iOS), I do miss the Flight Details tab for 1-click access.

I use it quite a lot not just for W&B but also to set aircraft, set takeoff time, view flight time (on iPhone, though this is now on main map like on iPad so not an issue), and set fuel. I guess this is more important when planning than in flight.

Had just been published. Here's the major changes from the current public version below. Please feel free to test and use this thread for feedback. You can download the beta from our beta page.

http://www.skydemon.aero/start/beta.aspx

- Cloud storage of routes is now automatic
When you save a route, a copy is also saved into the cloud. When you go to open a route, files from both local storage and cloud storage are shown in the same screen. The automatic saving to the cloud can be disabled from the Planning Options screen if desired.

- There is a new Warnings tab in planning mode which shows all planning warnings for your route
Previously, planning warnings were shown among other settings in the Flight Details tab.

- Flight Details settings have been moved to the Route menu
Previously these settings were shown in their own dedicated tab.

Please note that the beta for 3.9 closed last Monday when the build was released. Thank you for all feedback given during the beta period, which as always helped to shape the final release. Feedback on a beta delivered after the beta has stopped being a beta is too late to influence it.
