There is a new facility under airfield Information called 'Aerial Photography' What seems to have gone missing is the views of the approaches that were in previous versions. D‌oes anyone know where these have gone, as the manual doesn't show it.‌

Oh, if you mean the ability to jump to runway thresholds, looking down the runway, you can bring up the What's Here menu for an airfield and jump to specific views like that, including the thresholds.

That's what I meant. On the earlier versions on the Explore tab it gave the runways and you could choose whichever you wanted to see the approach. That doesn't seem to be on the airfield information now; just the satellite/plan view

I only get a plan view when i select aerial photography. The previous implementation provided a slant view of the approaches.

I never would have thought of doing that! ‌‌‌ George E A Reid Ipad Mini 5, IOS 14.4, SD 3.15.0.288 PC(Win 10, Version 19041.804) SD 3.15.0.0
