I’ve been meaning to ask for what I think would be an improvement and I keep forgetting to do it. I would like to see a much more obvious notification of an obstruction ahead, specifically towers taller than my altitude. I encounter these a lot around where I fly and at the low altitudes I fly. What I see now is a thin red circle around such a tower that really isn’t very noticeable, especially when viewing the sectional display. It’s easier to see in the vector mode but still not that great. I would like to see a ‘fatter’ red circle around the tower to insure I don’t overlook it, perhaps larger diameter as well as more ‘bold’. Would this be difficult to provide?

Jim,

Thanks for the feedback. I saw this on the Beta forum and have already added it to the wishlist, I already passed some ideas along to Walter and our programmers. I think they were doing some evaluation to see when they can develop this in, probably not in the upcoming 7.6, but later. Just wanted to let you know it's on the list now.

Jim: There are some really cool new airplane and triangle icons in 7.6.0B. I think you will find a larger, red/green triangle among them. ----Ralph
