Another vote for this, adding that FL195 would be maybe a better limit.

As per ICAO & Eurocontrol rules, VFR above FL195 needs special authorizations - therefore we can assume FL195 as max. VFR level for day-to-day flying.

Hi guys,

thanks a lot for the outstanding weather forecast tools you've developed!

Feature request for the aviation community:
Please add your already available "2D"-icing forecast as an overlay also to the aviation-specific route views (for VFR, IFR and Airgram).
This would allow an instantaneous assessment of icing potential over all altitudes, especially given that usually there is interest only over a specific route. The 2D-icing-depiction is better used vertically here (altitude vs. position en-route).

Also, maybe there is a possibility to increase the vertical screen extent of these views, to facilitate the data legibility over all altitude levels crammed in there...

The local non-route Airgram forecast View could also benefit from a similar real estate increase increase.

Maybe as a parameter in Settings, page height ratio of the Airgram/VFR/IFR views ?

Thanks in advance for any improvement here.

Regards

Hello,

first thanks a lot for adding the Clear Air Turbulence, it's one very useful piece of information !

But, so far, it only goes down to 5000ft baro / 850 hPa.

Would it possible to extend it to 950 hPa (3240ft) and 900hPa (1770ft) as well, to cover the usually very lively lowest atmospheric layer ?
It would definitely help with the flight planning in the general aviation and for our ultralight friends as well -thinking now especially of the para-glider pilots here.

As a somewhat acceptable alternative, I think just having 925hPa (2500ft) would also help, if 950 & 900 hPa are not doable.

Thanks for any improvement here !
