Dear aviators,

Just a few fixes this time to get ready to promote all the new features included in the past months into the app stores.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and have a great week!

Cheers,

Team EasyVFR 4

Release notes

• FIXED: Sometimes highlighted airspace (for example due to an airspace warning) was rendered offset compared to the actual position of the airspace.
• FIXED: When ALT2 (alternate) was closer to the destination than ALT1, then the route planning window would use that as distance to calculate fuel-to-furthest alternate for, resulting in a difference between the Trip Kit produced fuel required and the total fuel required according to the route window.
• FIXED: QuickInfo wheel, Route objects truncated the last few characters of a User Waypoint description.
• FIXED: QuickInfo wheel, Route Objects Window, when editing a user waypoint mixed lower & uppercase characters are now allowed.
• FIXED: EasyVFR 4 menu -> my UserWaypoints now only accepts A-Z, 0-9, and a few special characters as short ID and description.
• FIXED: Some menu z-order issues.
• CHANGED: Dynon SkyView systems produce a wrong route when a route is sent via Wi-Fi which contains a VFR Reporting Point ("VRP") that has an identifier (for example "E") and more than one VRP with the same Ident exists close together. For example a route LZPE->LSZR-E->lSZR would not route via LSZR-E, but instead via LOIH-E. The only way to fix this was to no longer use the correct Ident/latitude/longitude, but instead use a "fake ident" (in our case LSZR E)/latitude/longitude, resulting unfortunately in that route waypoint not using the VRP icon anymore in the route list.
