Hi,
I just bought the VFR approach plates for Germany (DFS). This is a cool feature.
I'm always flying with map orientation Course-Up.
Now I realized, that as soon as I tab the yellow airplane in Plates-Menu to display the approach chart, the approach chart is shown, but north up, centered and at a different scale.
Most of that is OK for me, but I would have expected two things:
1) that the screen orientation is keept
2) that the map is centered to my current flying position (at least centered back after some seconds)
For Point 2) the following happens:
If I go to SD -> Setup -> Orientation, nothing is selected any more. If I tab on course up, my plane is again, centered and the chart course-up oriented.
For me 6 tabs (displaying approach chart and switching back to centered and in setup configured map-orientation) is too much while approaching an airfild or airport. (I for my person prefere to focus on flying / preparing the plane for the approach)
If I could express a wish, I'd appreciate to have the following behavior:
Flying with map-orientation as set in setup.
1) when tapping to display the approach chart: showing the approach chart north-up and scaled as it is.
2) after some seconds (as it is when moving the map manually) switching back to the aircraft-centered and in setup configured orientation. If the scale for the approach charts is keept, this is fine for me.
Are there any other opinions?
Best regards from the lake of constance,
Robin
