Briefing Pack

I suggest some improvements on the Briefing Pack:

1. Chart
On some longer trips, the chart is hardly empty, no aeronautical features are displayed. In this example, the route is only 200NM.
Make it possible to show at least some (selectable) area's.


2. Events
I am not always interested in events, make it also selectable the same this is possible for the virtual radar.
Sometimes the events are creating many pages. When flying on the vertical boundary of an airspace, you get an event when entering the airspace above by a few feet and again an event when leaving this airspace and entering the airspace below with a few feet. 
Or better make the event types selectable.


3. Scratchpad
The scratchpad is very useful, but your notes are gone with closing the app. I like to have the option to add the scratchpad to the briefing pad.

I think you are referring to the debriefing pack, not the briefing pack.

Some interesting ideas there. Currently the debriefing pack specification is to produce just one big map, on one page, and you're correct to point out that the resulting scaling means that various features will be hidden. Not ideal. We would need to schedule significant development time to do multi-page map output like the briefing pack, though, so we will file this away under suggestions for the time being.

You make an interesting point about events. The feature is designed to show when you enter and leave airspace, and it would be a lot of effort to enhance it to somehow detect the situation when somebody is repeatedly busting airspace by a small amount by attempting to fly on the border, and ignore that situation. Out of curiosity, what did Hamburg have to say about the infringements in this case?

I like the idea of saving the scratchpad contents along with the flight log and will be interested to see others weigh in on this one.
