Title: blue circle on screen
Post by: j.hunt333@yahoo.co.uk on May 07, 2018, 01:58:59 pm

Can somebody tell me what a blue / black block circle around my plane on my screen means ?
Have I done something wrong as I never seen before .
Many thanks Jon.

If this is on Skydemon it maybe your glide clear range? Where you over water or the Fens/low ground?

You're right .. it's the glide range circle ..

I see it when over water ….

And VERY reassuring it can be too, PROVIDED you set up SkyDemon with the correct 'ENGINE OFF' glide ratio for your aircraft. Don't make the mistake of simply assuming it will be correct.  :-\
