Hello,

If you load and old flightplan also you have the old departure time. In IOS you have to scroll to find the actual time and date. It will be easier is there an button for now ! ;-)

What would be your suggestion? Removing an explicitly set takeoff date/time makes SkyDemon revert to assuming you're about to leave, as it does by default.
Tim, I have the feeling the IOS version behaves different.
When loading an older route the Notams and weather will be based on the old departure time (confusing and dangerous!!)
Only when pressing Delete in the departure time,  SD will pull and display the current Notams and Wether  for the actual date/time!!!
I got now used to it, but the buttom DELETE is not precise and as we see is confusing , 
better wording and less confusion would be DEP NOW (Departure now) instead of DELETE.


It’s not confusing if you notice that the banner you press to get the Flight Details pop-up is coloured red if the date/time is in the past.

In English the word displayed is ‘Remove’ not ‘Delete’, which is logical to me.
