[Feature request] Parking Symbols too big?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am under the impression the parking symbols are way too big. Depending on zoom, they can obscure the whole airport. Little blue dots would be sufficient. Should be easy to implement, if others agree.

 

Kind regards, Michael

Hi Michael,

 

Parking symbols also have an orientation. That information would be lost if small dots are used. Postioning the mouse cursor to click on the parking symbol to postion the flight, to show the tooltip and to grab the symbol so it can be dragged over the flight plan departure location will be much harder as well. You can change the minimum zoom level for which the parking symbols are visible if you like.

 

thanks, Maarten

Hi,

 

I didn't take care of orientation, but this is of course true. Changing the minimum display zoom should take care of it. I still have to discover all the settings. When taxiing with high zoom all layouts look beautiful anyway.

 

Kind regards, Michael
