In the sim, I can see the runways as white lines of KIYK when zoomed at the 1 nm level. When I zoom out to 2 nm, the airport disappears, but I still see the runway numbers, but no runways. The airport symble shows up when I get out to the 5 nm zoom. I don't see the value of showing runway numbers without showing the runways and I would think the airport should always be visible, unless you filter it off. I would suggest switching to the airport icon at the 2 and 3 nm zoom levels.

I can't speak for Avidyne's intent, but there is certainly value in seeing runway numbers even if the runways are not graphically displayed. At an unfamiliar airport, a reminder of what the runway numbers are can be helpful in lots of scenarios.

| I agree with showing the numbers when the runways are also shown when zoomed in. When zooming out and the 6 runways aren't shown, it just looks cluttered with just a bunch of numbers on the screen. And other than a clutter of numbers, there is nothing showing that there is an airport there. |

This is a sim-only bug. OpenGL has an issue with that drawing. Actual IFD540 does not behave that way. ------------- Steve Jacobson sjacobson@avidyne.com |
