Highlights

  • Chart Explorer gained live G-AIRMET, SIGMET, CWA, PIREP, TCF, and Alaska AIRMET weather layers.
  • Aircraft and airport selections now open in a docked Information panel with weather and chart actions close at hand.
  • IAP browsing gained runway group toggles, improved procedure search, and preserved selections.

Improvements

  • Organized weather layers and PIREP reports into a clearer tree with compact operational rows.
  • Grouped target, airport, and flight details with consistent headers, labels, and table density.
  • Updated FAA CIFP procedures to the July 9 cycle and expanded weather-layer coverage.

Fixes

  • Repaired line-band SIGMET polygons and restored airport weather detail styling.
  • Fixed queued Information panel selections while preserving zoom during focus changes.
  • Prevented map tools from accidentally opening flight or Information panel details.

In Progress

  • Continuing to modularize weather, MSFS runtime, and operational panel code.
  • Refining Information Dock browsing across targets, airports, and flights.
  • Keeping live weather controls consistent as additional sources are added.
