The weather add on is a great feature. I however fly a King Air and operate between 20 and 30 000 feet. The weather availability only goes up to FL150.
It would be great if this could be addressed. I have recommended Easyplan to a number of my pilot friends flying the same aircraft as me. I think the demand for this feature to be upgraded will become more and more pressing.
It would also be great if we could get more comprehensive data up to the equator, but I suppose I am pushing my luck on this one.
How about it Stephen?

Hi
How many and which flight levels would you like to see between FL150 and FL300?
We currently offer 5 different flight levels up to FL150 and the main issue would be the increased size of the downloads particularly for EasyCockpit users downloading forecast weather data via a cell phone connection.
So for example if we added another 5 flight levels it would double the download size and therefore double the download time for all users.
When you mention more comprehensive data up to the equator are you talking specifically about EasyWeather data as opposed to topo data and navaid data?
Cheers

Hi SeanM
I seemed to get sidetracked a little. I was actually referring to airfield data and not weather data up to the equator (although weather would be great).
With regard to the weather above FL150, I am not quite sure how your download works, but the data could possibly be split into 2 sections, high and low level weather, this way you could download only what is relevant to you, keeping the download small. I am referring specifically to forecast winds for flight planning purposes.
Thanks.
