Would like to see that you could load and save individual waypoints though. It seams that you can only save all and load all to/from cloud, potentially overwriting waypoints? Thanks Steinar

Steinar, we couldn't think of a good way of saving user waypoints one by one, that would probably be quite tedious. So at the moment it's an all-or-nothing system. We're very much open to feedback on how you think this could be made even better, though. Simon, that isn't the beta, it's just a NOTAM that has been published with an inappropriate classification. I've asked for it to be changed. MrReallySerious, which specific VFR corridors are you referring to (can you give me a location in the AIP?)

Group: Forum Members Posts: 388, Visits: 8.3K	Thanks for the feedback Tim. I like the new chart style which seems clearer. Anything you can do about the increasing amount of spam in this forum? I'd love to be able to 'sync' routes/aircraft/waypoints etc. with cloud storage (using time of last modification). In the Plan 'open flight log' window please can you add the ability to delete the currently selected log - not sure how you would stop it re-appearing at the next sync though. Maybe add a 'flag' to indicate that the log is due to be deleted and then delete it from the mobile device as well at the next sync? Simon Edited 9/27/2012 1:02:30 PM by srayne

Group: Forum Members Posts: 388, Visits: 8.3K	nje (27/09/2012) Has any one tried zooming right in yet ? My laptop with win xp and PC with win 7 locked up with the 'skydemon not responding' screen Me too - Windows Vista. Edited to add: Not actually a lockup as control comes back a few minutes later - just a major slow down at zoom levels above about 1:10,000 Edited again to add: Only happens with NOTAMs displayed and zooming into shaded area of NOTAM.
