Tried V8.0 on desktop App with a flight this morning and it is rather nice. I would like to see a way of varying the flight plan coloured path width (maybe there is but options seem sparse) as it’s way too thick compared to the previous version and can obliterate some underlying info. Other than that there is some great fast access to SID/STAR and APPROACH charts. I love being able to overlay for example the contour map along with approach charts, and it’s fantastic to be able to zoom in to airport gate layout chart, definitely a huge plus. All very nice & intuitive.
I don’t use VR, I have just previously preferred for it all to happen in game (via panel) though rather than ALT-TAB’ing out of FS to access it. Maybe I’ll just have to get used to doing the external app thing now.
