I’ve been using the Infinite Flight tool recently, and while it provides an excellent flying experience, I’ve noticed that elevation awareness could be improved, especially when navigating areas with significant elevation changes. I’m curious if anyone has advice or tips on how to better manage elevation data while flying.
One thing I’ve encountered is that when flying through mountainous regions or areas where elevation changes rapidly, it can sometimes be challenging to clearly visualize or track those changes in real-time. I understand the tool provides information, but the elevation shifts can sometimes be hard to interpret without additional context. This becomes particularly noticeable when approaching areas with sudden elevation increases, like valleys or peaks. It can make it difficult to adjust my flight plan accordingly in time.
Elevation, as I understand it, refers to the height or vertical distance of a location relative to sea level or ground level. This becomes crucial when flying, especially when navigating terrain with rapid elevation changes. In real-world aviation, pilots have to continuously manage altitude relative to the ground to ensure safe clearance from obstacles. While using tools like an online altitude finder can help provide elevation data, I feel that the Infinite Flight tool could do more to highlight elevation changes dynamically as I fly, to make the whole experience smoother.
For example, when approaching an area with varying terrain, like a mountain range, it could be helpful to have a more obvious elevation cue or indicator in the tool to alert me to potential changes ahead. This could be a visual overlay or more prominent markers showing how the terrain will shift in the upcoming flight path.
I’m wondering if there are settings or specific features within the Infinite Flight tool that I might be missing that can make elevation changes more obvious or easier to track during flight. Does anyone have tips for improving elevation awareness when navigating areas with rapid changes? I’m hoping to find ways to manage these shifts better and improve my overall flight planning in such areas.
