Hi,

I've downloaded 3.0.4.27953 yesterday evening, and tried to discover it in order to test the new capabilities.

So far, It's seems the focus has been made on charts enhancement, including terrain elevation colouring, protected area (bird sanctuaries) and perhaps the way NOTAM are displayed when navigating (not sure about that one). It seems a document browser is now also available.

Am I wrong? Have I missed a lot of things? A quick changelog would be nice Smile

You should see it in the Plates window, if there are any plates showing. If not, open the Tools dropdown from the Plates window.
