Clear Air Turbulence and Soundings
-
Hello,
The CAT on the new update is terrible. Only goes to FL300, which we used to be able to use it to FL450 and you can no longer adjust the altitude while using IFR/Distance and Planning routes.
Please bring back the previous version, this one really is terrible compared to what you had before.
Also, soundings still do not take start at the elevation of the location. A sounding in Denver, CO should NOT start at 1000mb, since they are roughly 6000FT in elevation.

@ITPSwx1 Hello, FL will be extended with upcoming update, we are sorry about this issue.
I would like to get more info about the second part of your sentence:
...can no longer adjust the altitude while using IFR/Distance and Planning routes...
Can you provide more details about this behavior?

@Suty Good Morning!
I have attached 2 screen shots. The first one is a GPX route sting, where we are able to adjust the flight levels on the map while in the mode.
The 2nd screen shot is the same route string, but with the clear air turbulence overlay. We used to be able to adjust the flight levels while in the format, but now we cannot. We use FL390 the most (for what I do), so only having up to FL300 available is pretty useless now. And I have to exit out of this to adjust to flight level, then go back into this. Its taking almost double the amount of time than it did before.
Note, on the first image (winds), the flight level toggle is adjustable. On the CAT one, it is no longer adjustable

@ITPSwx1 Okay, thank you so much for this detailed explanation. Now I am fully aware of the use case you have and we will discuss this with the team at the beginning of the next week during the meeting.

@ITPSwx1 Hello, to be completely honest, we were not aware of this usecase, but we are planning a complete redesign of our route planner so this should be solved there soon.
