On map, I don't see the french SIV (Secteur d'Information de Vol or Flight Information Sector) that are something like Area Control Center : they give squawk ident, information about convergent trafic, activated zone ... Do they exist?

Last question : could i see the FIS aeras on my map?

Thanks a lot Tim for your reply. That works fine. If I might make a suggestion, may be it would be better to propose FIS areas rather than FIR (in menu Mapping/Airspace). FIR are only administrative areas while we're in contact with the FIS throughout our navigation flights.

What do you think of that idea? Why not? I'd like to see that. Except that there is not much place to see the map below the radio tab while it is open on my mobile phone! Ok, I will buy a tablet right away... ;-)

But there should also be a possibility to turn them off again, because they do clutter the map a lot. Perhaps a new switch in the airspace configuration could be a solution? As all the data is already in the database, this should be possible, or am I mistaken. Thank you Roland
