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

            @jadiez Hello and thank you for further explanation. 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.

                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.

                  @jadiez Hello, did you check more of those airports? It varies with the airport.

                    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.

                      @steven15 Not right now, but we still consider this adjustment.

                        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?

                          @jadiez We will discuss potential changes at the beginning of the next week.

                              Here in the UK many mountains are in the 800-1200m range, so the 900m meteogram level was very useful for assessing cloud cover.

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

                                Greetings from Chamonix! 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
