HI, I would like to have a small feature when approaching an airport.
It would be nice if ther would be an option that the charts zoom in so I can see the ground charts when the aircraft vacate the runway (maybe less then 60 ktn) or a trigger via simconnect).
It would be great if we could have an auto-zoom function from and to the airport diagram for taxi guidance. It’s quite cumbersome after landing for example to have to find the destination aerodrome and then pinch to zoom and centre the map appropriately. Maybe if charts could detect when the aircraft has achieved taxi speed and then automatically switch to this view? The same would be good after takeoff - an automatic switch over from the detailed airport diagram to the flight plan route?
Really surprised how little attention this is getting. Having to zoom in on myself from outer space at the beginning of every flight is getting old fast. It’s as if the auto zoom option doesn’t do anything at all.
I would really prefer not to have it zoom in on charts, but rather zoom in on the map to one click above maximum zoom. This is the best feature for taxiing because it encompasses gates, ramps, taxiways, and practically the whole airport. Better than fumbling between individual charts and the airport diagram chart when you have better things to do. I was thinking of having a button to do this, but having it auto zoom behind the chart you might be looking at during final approach is something I hadn’t thought of and reallly like. Personally I wish I had both. Would be useful to quickly zoom both departure and arrival airfports.
Auto-zoom will probably come in the next update of charts
Currently there is a button available for zooming in on the airport, but perhaps we should make it zoom in a little bit more? (see attached images)
Hello, nice to hear that it is worked on that feature.
Would be also very important for me.
Regarding the initial zoom step: best would be that the user have an option to choose the value himself.
Perfect would be a kind of dynamic automatic zoom:
According to aircrafts speed when on ground, the map zoom will change
Here is a kind of zoom step I would choose at EHAM.
But it could be difficult as smaller airports or airfields need a lot closer zoom.
