<![CDATA[Meteogram in new sotfware has different altitude scale]]>I was asked by Windy if I wanted the new IA software or the classic and I selected the new IA option with the surprisse that the new option had changed the meteogram altitude depiction.

In the new version the altitude scale of the meteogram goes above FL300, with very little detail in the lower altitudes below 10,000ft. I am a VFR pilot and the old classic was very useful, because it showed a good detail at all altitudes up to 10,000 ft., which is not the case with the new scale. For practical purposes the new scale is not very useful for a VFR pilot.

I tried turning back to the classic version of the meteogram and I was unable to do so. Please advice me how to return to the classic depiction scale of 10,000 ft for the meteogram.

New altitude scales made meteogram cloud view completely useless for critical clould information for moving on mountains. Thousands of people alone in this region rely on it, so could you please revet the change of the altitude scale on meteogram or make it configurable.

Kind regards,
active mountaineer

The meteogram feature was the reason I subscribed to your service and have recommended it to many other hikers.

If not now, when are you planning to return back to the more detailed aerodrome meteogram at altitudes below 10,000ft as you had in the previous software?

You are right!
Thats why initialy I saw some values and wrote them down accordingly and when I looked again some other day it had some different values, because I had changed aerodrome.
Nevertheless the reduced scale for lower altitudes still prevails which is my concern as you are aware. Thanks for the support.

I must have looked at another meteogram, and wrote inaccurate information, but in the new software the altitude scale for the Aerodrome meteogram is 1,000ftAGL, FL100, FL130, FL165, FL200 and FL300. My concern is still the same, which is that it lacks detailed and a broader scale up the 10,000ft. It jumps from 1,000ft. to 10,000ft, making it not very good for VFR flying. Sorry for generating confusion.

Thanks a lot for your support. I hope something can be done.

I was a bit confused since we talked about two various plugins in our app. I will discuss this change with the team this Tuesday.

Is it possible to come back to the old software broader altitude scale for aerodromes meteograms for better VFR analysis?

You are right in your pictures. I think I was not clear enough in my explanation, so I would like to amplify on the idea. When I look at the meteogram of an aerodrome like SKMD or SKRG for instance; in the previous software the horizontal lines for the different altitudes are 3000ft, 6400ft, FL100(10,000 ft.) FL180 and FL300. The first 3 altitudes up to 10,000 ft allows to observe the information much in detailed for a VFR pilot that does no fly as high.
With the new software if you look at an aerodrome's meteogram, the horizontal lines are at 1000ft, FL115, FL150, FL200 and FL300. As you can observe it jumps from 1,000 ft to 11500 ft. in a short distance, not allowing to visualize detailed information for a VFR flight like previously where you were able to observe from the ground to 10,000ft. in a much bigger scale
