SkyAngel 0.9.8 Released!

A new version of SkyAngel, version 0.9.8, has been posted. This version has mainly bug fixes but there are some data and functionality improvements too. Note that in Plan, I have changed some of the colours in this release to match the CAA charts. This is an experiment: if most people prefer the old colours, I'll switch back in the next release. Please let me know!

Also note that there is now a forum on the SkyAngel website for discussion of the product, compatible GPS devices, suggestions for future features etc.

In this release:

Data
----
Spot elevations now included on chart and in MSA calculations
UK FIS sector information now included so London Info will appear in PLOG

InFlight
--------
Data loading time halved
Fixed "invalid land polygon" bug that some people were experiencing

Plan
----
Scale added to main map
Save option added to PLOG viewer, to facilitate editing of default output
3D terrain shading colours are now rounded, making it useful for determining elevation while still retaining shading
The default (first) aircraft can now be removed
More intelligent selection of frequencies included on PLOG
