Tim,

Am I doing something wrong with the printing options of the new PLOG?

The Waypoint text font is huge compared to the rest of the PLOG data fonts that are tiny and may be almost unreadable in a bumpy flight.

The Font of the radio info on page one is also huge, but page 2 appear to be the correct size.

FYI I'm printing A4 landscape 2 pages per sheet.

Similar problems as above, plog text too small, latest version, Pc version , see attached.

Nexus 7(1st gen) ,Android print huge, 3 pages, use of +/-  gets it to 2 pages but poor layout, see attached.

Tim,
I am also having similar problems after downloading version 3.2.0.0
I print the Plogs in A5 format from my PC and now the frequency boxes are so large that there is no room on the first page (most of my Plogs have fitted onto one page in the past) for noting clearances, pressure settings, squawk codes etc. The boxes containing the start up etc times and the routing are as they were before and are fine.
Regards,
David

Our PC software uses a completely different technology (by necessity) for printing than our iOS/Android products, so we will have to consider any flaws in the new printing separately for each product.
On a PC, the default point size for the frequency sections of the PLOG is 12 points. We can reduce that to 11 and see how we go.
On iOS and Android it may vary between different devices. Could somebody post a screenshot of output they consider too large or small, together with a measurement of the screen size of the device in question please?

My upload above(the 1st) shows a variety of font sizes on the PC print out.

IMHO the radio aids look about right,...but they were fine in 3.1 , which I have reinstalled for printing.

regards

Yes, thanks, we have made a tweak to the PC version going forward.

If anyone thinks there are problems with the iOS or Android output on their particular device, that's where we really need a screenshot and screen size info to determine what might be wrong.

BTW, I want to congratulate the SD team for evolving the PLOG to a truly new and exciting stage. It has now become a much more useful tool while still remaining the simplicity and ease of use. Well done!

I believe this first step has been a good and important one to take with one or two further steps still to be taken on the way. But time and user experience will tell what exactly still needs to be done.

Thanks for listening to your users!

-- Chris.

I find that with SkyDemon 3.2, the beginning waypoint of each leg is written in much larger text size than the ending waypoint. This is very confusing!
