New SkySight color scheme

Matt, mine changed this morning, and while not familiar, the color separation is very helpful. I think it is an improvement, one that will take some getting used to, but an improvement. And I agree that putting the labeling on top will also cause less need to change the opacity, but access to the alpha slider could still be helpful. Thanks for the changes.

Matt,

I routinely depend on the slider to reference the weather features to the underlying terrain features. The weather features are often not clear enough in the blended state, so the slider allows better definition of those, but then I can get lost so the slider allows me to go back to the terrain to reference the position. This is particularly important when location is most critical like convergences and wave (but it's not just used in those cases). I don't use the labels much, but position using geography patterns.

So, another vote for bringing the slider back. And if it could be made a little bigger it would also make it easier to use.

Thanks,

David

This thread coupled with an overwhelming quantity of emails (10:1 compared to other emails about the new release) means.... it's back. Enjoy.

Thanks Matt. Can you bring back the fader for mobile devices as well as desktops please?

Another comment, the airspace option is barely visible.

To me, it's way too dark! Overwhelms the screen.

Also, it would be nice if MOAs could be turned off. In the CA/NV area it's all MOA with some restricted areas that get lost in all the lines.

The airspace situation is a bit complex at the moment as we have to use different sources in different regions. Currently the US tiles are rendered hardcoded as is and we can't turn off uninteresting areas like we can in the rest of the world, but our friends over at OpenAIP are going to make this possible in the US as well in the near future.

I'm not sure what region you're in jpg, but I'm guessing it's not US where the airspace markers are much more subtle. Can you send us a screenshot of what you're seeing, skysight (.at.) skysight.io

Matthew:
Thanks for the return of the opacity control!
Sorry you won't be at Keepit for the Sports and Club Class Nationals.
