I’m trying out VFRnav as an alternative and am a bit confused about the display of the airspace cross-section. From other navs I know it so that the route or the distance bar (5 nm) is also shown in the vertical profile.
Here I have the following behaviour: Without route planning I see an aircraft symbol in the vertical profile as well as the potential/estimated track, e.g. to the next airspace. The airspace cross-section also, logically, changes when the course is changed. However, as soon as I enter a route plan, the airspace cross-section no longer shows an aircraft symbol, but only a kind of overview or section of the altitude profile. This does not change when flying the route or when changing course during the route.
the vertical airspace profile is on the ground in a kind of “planning mode”. So you can see the profile along the planned route. You can tell because for longer routes the profile is scrollable to the right.
After take-off it switches to a kind of live view. So the profile shows the airspace along the direction of flight.
That works perfectly and is - once you’ve understood it - implemented brilliantly.
I think Hermann had written somewhere that the flight recording has to be active for that (i.e. the switch under “My Flights” active). I don’t know whether that’s still the case in the current version. And the take-off must be recorded correctly. Especially if you’re flying something “exotic”, create an aircraft profile for it and adjust the speed for the flight recording or set it to manual.
Thanks for the reply!
