The follow own acft icon is now under the show own acft icon, which means I have to click the own acft icon, then click Follow Ownship, then click the acft icon again to close the menu.
This is a function I use over 20-30 times per flight. Please return it as a top level icon below the own acft triangle and above the new Online Networks three acft icon. I believe there should be enough space for 1 more icon.
This is a definite downgrade from the prior interface.
Suggestion: left click to toggle on/off, right click to bring up options. Same goes for the new traffic feature.
Absolutely, need a one click âown shipâ function, this change in the UI is a loss.
Perhaps just add an additional icon below the current one.

+1 for this to be rectified please
100% agree, definitely needs to be a one-click option again please
Hi,
Thanks for the input here. Weâre considering ways in which we can regain this function.
Kind regards,
Stephen
While you are looking to fix this, perhaps you could also add an optional âŚ
âreturn to own position after xx secsâ
So if you drag the map to elsewhere, after say 20 secs, it will slide back to your current position.
In fact adding that, could solve both problems.

Please fix it. The current solution is very annoying. Thanks.
Hi again,
Itâs been many months and the irritation is only getting worse. 
Please donât forget. 
HNY!
Just chiming in to say it was a very sad update in the UI! We need a 1 click center on aircraft/follow ownship again! Please!
Thanks,
Rafael Carelli
Indeed i miss the one button solution
Hello,
Itâs been almost 4 months since my report and nothing has been done to revert the UI and UX to the previous iteration or to fix the current one.
You canât just go and messing with UIs that people are used to like that - this is a big no no in design.
Please consider reverting back to the previous system or implementing a new 1-click model that will achieve the same functionality.
This is something which we have to click multiple times per flight and adding 2 clicks to every click for a total of three is extremely annoying.
It would be great if this could get sorted out
I have my Ipad on my left hand side in my sim set up so Iâm using it with my left hand (Iâm right handed but I can switch charts/zoom in/out etc with my left hand) but the whole new procedure of pressing the moving map, pressing the auto follow button and then pressing again to go back to the main screen is a painâŚespecially when youâve got other things going on
It was much more user friendly before when you had one button to press to recenter the position
Having one click re-center again would be highly appreciated
Thanks!
Thank you for the feedback and additional details about your particular setup & situation! Weâll make sure to take this whole topic into consideration for a future redesign. Itâs definitely on our (long) list of things to improve!
Kind Regards,
Malte
How about making the Follow Ownership default to On, so all that is needed to reset Follow Ownership is to toggle the moving map button, and Follow Ownership is on. If I want Follow Ownership to remain off, I can just toggle the Follow Ownership switch off.
Yes, itâs set to ON. The problem occurs when I look at an approach, for example, and then return to normal; the Follow Ownership is turned off, and it takes three clicks to recover.
This is expected - you moved the map.
We currently do not have any plans to change this - if you manually interact with the map and pan around, we assume that you do not want the map to take over and override your movements.
I think this has been mentioned here on the forums before, and if I am not mistaken, somebody suggested that âFollow modeâ should be enabled again after a couple of seconds of inactivity. I canât find it using the search function, unfortunately, so if you feel strongly about something like this (or maybe have another suggestion and motivation), please create a topic in the Wishlist category.
Regardless, we are working on improvements to this particular UI to reduce the amount of clicks necessary - which is the issue of this topic.
Adding a Follow Owership icon to the main page would do the trick.
This isnât implemented correctly because as soon as you load in an OFP, it turns auto-follow off, so I need to click 3 times anyway.
Edit:
And soon after loading in an OFP, you will be preselecting an arrival anyway, which also turns off auto-follow.
