What about a compromise? Show notes for the last couple of years BUT always a minimum number of notes, regardless of age.

That's why we limit it. The output is not currently paginated, and nor do I really want it to be. So we have to put a break somewhere.

Or not, if most entries are along the lines of ‘Lovely airfield, will come back’.

Alternatively, you could limit the number of posts displayed regardless of age, e.g. to 8-10 posts. That's enough to get an overview.

I disagree. Imagine an airfield, eg in the french province, where two pilots/year are posting pireps. Every second of these posts describes infrastructure. Every fourth of them describes the transport from/to the airfield. Tricky wind conditions are described only every two years etc.

Have a look at eddh.de. You may grasp the meaning even if the posts are in german.

Some of the reports are more than five years old and still helpful. If it is ever necessary to limit the timespan reports are displayed, I would advocate for 5 ore 4 years.

Yes, the threshold is currently two years. If there is something ongoing and important to know about an airfield, would it not be reasonable to expect it to be re-posted at least once every two years?

I guess there hadn't been any for a long while. Once a certain time period has elapsed, old notes and ratings are no longer shown I think. It's quite a long time though.

I strongly advocate displaying pilot notes for longer. In some rarely visited places, otherwise important information disappears. For me, no pilot notes before 2022 are shown which is a pity.

It's always worth upgrading to the latest version, but you may need to contact customer support for advice on this one.

You're right... I was relying on SkyDemon notifying me about updates. It has always worked in the past but for some reason doesn't seem to have worked for the last few updates!
