Yes, the new altitude slider location is NOT user friendly. It now requires two (2) mouse clicks to adjust the altitude view (one to open, then change the altitude on the slider, then another mouse click to close the selection window to go back to the main view). To have to repeat this to analyze winds, turbulence, and icing conditions over several altitudes for flight planning purposes has suddenly made this a tedious process for pilots.

Understandably, not everyone using Windy is looking at upper level conditions all the time. Maybe make this a switchable feature in the options. Or, when the "show airports" is selected, it puts the altitude slider back on the main view.

That fixed it. Thank You!!

Elevation issues:
Something has changed recently and now the plug app defaults to the surface elevation in the map and profile views. I've tried it in 2 different web browsers and get the same results. Attempts to reset the elevation in the flight plan or the map elevation slider does work. The map and elevation profile jumps back displaying the data for the surface, not the set elevation.

I've loaded old flight plans from November that I know that worked at that time, and they too no longer work with respect to the elevation profile, and showing / computing the information at the desired altitude.

Thanks
