Compared to VR, the map display is quite good and useful:
I can switch off Follow Position and get a large arrow to quickly re-center the map. Perfect!

Proposal:
VR has the same behavior as map display.

It can be panned in all directions and has a re-center button. This "button" could be even identical to the re-center feature in map.

VR horizontal scale factor can be set by zooming with two fingers.
Alternatively, it could be coupled to map scale factor...

Vertical scale:
As a first approach, the above mentioned panning feature would be sufficient.

Hi Tim,

I'm absolutely missing a function to set horizontal and vertical scale for virtual radar!
The automatic zoom is by far not sufficient for many situations in the alps.

When crossing the alps, you often cannot fly the planned route due to cloud conditions.

After crossing the alps N->S i.e. in 12000 ft, typically a descent down to 1000 ft follows.
This area is crowded with military airspace, class D airspaces and controlzones of different airports.
Parts of the planning becomes useless and you have to do some ad hoc planning in flight in a complicated airspace structure.

But SD lets me look ahead only a few minutes, which is not enough for a 11000 ft standard descent.

Similar situations can occur during climb to higher altitudes.

Regards
