Runway extensions

The runway extensions feature is great and extremely helpfull but as I needed to use it fast in complicated airspace and turbulence I realized it takes 4 or 5 button presses to get to it.

Usually when a controller assigns you a runway and landing instructions it's a very busy time in the cockpit and we need a way to RAPIDLY enter a runway extension.

Re: Runway extensions

it would be great for the runway extensions to pop up at the destination airport 10 miles out or a pop up menu asking, which runway, so only one tap is needed.

Re: Runway extensions

This has bee added to the Wish List. I've also noted to include the Traffic Patterns in the extensions or a possible runway overlay.

Re: Runway extensions

I have to agree that automatic runway extensions would be nice. I had to make an unplanned trip this past weekend and my iFly was unavailable so I used Anywhere Map on my android tablet. I was flying in an area with a lot of smoke and the visibility was 5 miles on the ground. It was sure nice to have the runway extension pop up about 10 miles out to make it easier to line up on a runway I couldn't see.

Re: Runway extensions

I would find it useful if the runway extension graphics had the option of having a 90 degree arrow to indicate situations where runways have mandatory left or right traffic for turns onto final approach.
