Hello,
W‌ould it be possible to have a "drawing tool" to be able to draw your own specific area on the Map?
‌‌‌In this way it is possible to create your own area and stay into it during your flight. ‌
Reason is that in many countries there are some "No Fly zones" which can become de-activated during the weekend and/or holidays with almost no limitations.‌‌‌ A‌s the borders of these areas have sometimes very complicated shapes (mix of Radii, Curves, Lines), it would be nice to have a "Free Drawing" tool in order to draw these Lines with Radii, curves etc. in different colors on the map.
‌Now you can create a free waypoint but as these areas can contain hundreds of waypoints it becomes very difficult to create them one by one while given coordinates (Format: N50°35'05" E002°49'37") cannot be uploaded into SD without converting.
‌On the other hand you can drag a line between A to B to create multiple other points, but in this case you will see always the "Big white Dot" as a "Turning point" which makes the contours of the drawn line very "dirty" and especially when your "turning points" follow each other closely and zooming out. You're also not able to draw curves and radii this way.
A‌nother thing is that your start and landing point will have a "Climb slope line" and a "Decent slope line" which doesn't allow you to create a uninterrupted horizontal contourline (border) like a TMA which doesn't touch the ground because you must be able to give an altitude to the drawn line as a flight level limitation.
L‌ooking forward to you feed-back.
B‌est Regards,
R‌on

Have you discovered the Data Creator tool which comes with SkyDemon for PC, which allows you to create your own pieces of airspace?

Hi, I found and played a little and it looks that this is roughly what I am looking for.
O‌nly some questions:
1‌) Can I change (Highlight) the color and the thickness of the borderlines?
2‌) When creating an area, I see only an empty country with roads and/or rivers. Can I also display existing airspace like CTR's & TMA's as the borders of the "No Fly zones" are mostly touch these airspaces?
3‌) Can you add the option "Weekends" or "Closing days/hours" Only"?
