I always dreaded manually preparing plogs and often made calculation errors on the E6B. Thanks to Skydemon that is now in the past, and a real pleasure to prepare.

One aspect of manual plogs that I miss is the ability to customise them. I currently write notes and mark the radio frequencies I intend using, but it would be helpful to either have a comments column into which I could type, or allow a comments space in the plog. The former is preferable to allow the use of the iPad as the plog, although I like a paper copy. If this is possible, it would be nice to have a template that could be put on the cloud for all devices.

Secondly, I find I have to add columns to the plog to reduce the font size to try to remain on one page for multiple waypoint trips. I would love to be able to control this manually.

Finally, thanks for v3, the iPhone is useful for tight cockpits!

Some great new features in V3 (I think - I'm still discovering) but I agree about the PLOG needs to be on one page. Now the frequency format has changed it runs easily to an inconvenient 2 pages. New layout looks good but it takes up too much precious space.

It depends on the reason why it's two pages in the first place. There's a lot of stuff to get on there! Can you mock up how you'd like it to look and share it? Or just scrawl on the current plog and bring it to the pub...

I totally agree! I am really missing the capability to add that kind of additional information and notes. Such a feature is also discussed in this thread:


http://skydemon.aero/forums/Topic12357.aspx

This is an important request in my opinion, so I hope SD will respond with their view on this.
