Uncommanded Zooming

Ever since the last release or two, when flying near airports that I have downloaded airport diagrams for, the screen will automatically zoom-in to 1,12 miles width. I can either pinch or use the + button to zoom back out to 5 or 10 miles, but untill I get away from the airport, it just zooms back in again. Enroute, the program behaves normally (no auto-zoom). This happens on both my Nexus7 and my Samsung S5 phone but on the phone it zooms in to 1.96 miles width. Very annoying. I hve turned off Approach Plates and Auto Taxi, but can't find any way to make it stop.

Re: Uncommanded Zooming

Can you reproduce this using Simulation mode? I am making one more 9.4 release, as we've found a half-dozen bug fixes already. I'd like to fix this one for you as well.

Please try to reproduce this bug using Simulation mode, and then send me a Bug Report.

Menu => About => Start Simulation Mode

then, Menu => About => Send Bug Report, after reproducing the issue.

Re: Uncommanded Zooming

Ah, I see you are probably on v9.3. I think I have already fixed this for 9.4, which should be released to the public by the end of this month.

Re: Uncommanded Zooming

No matter though, if you can duplicate this with 9.3 in Simulation Mode, I will try to reproduce it here on 9.3, and then I can validate it is fixed on 9.4. I tried just now to duplicate this issue on 9.3, but with no luck.

Do you have Diagrams set to show "Fullscreen" mode? And you say Auto-Taxi is off... which would have been my first guess is that this feature was just malfunctioning.

I'd really like to work with you on this to make sure this is resolved. After you send me a bug report, put in the email text a reference to this forums thread, so that i know it's you. We'll get this resolved via email.

Thanks!
