Hi all,
I'm new here. Just joined, so I'll briefly introduce myself. I'm a low hours PPL. Lost my medical in 2015 - just a temporary setback. I'm working with FAA to get it back and will probably be flying solo in a few months again. I haven't flown since 2015 and I'm working to get current again. I got my PPL extremely quickly (5 weeks) and never felt like a safe pilot, so I'm giving myself way more time now and diving deep on areas I felt weak on after I passed.
One tool I love, and I'm impressed by how much it's improved over the years, is Foreflight. I'm working to get really confident with FF using Microsoft FS2020 and PilotEdge to simulate cross country trips while I work with FAA to get the medical back. I'll also be working on a glider license.
One of my favorite features in FF is the 'Profile' feature for route planning. However, when I'm planning a VFR flight and I hold my finger on the map and add an arbitrary waypoint, and then adjust the altitude of that waypoint, it doesn't show the altitude change on the profile view.
It does show my altitude change in the 3D view. Profile view just shows me climbing and staying at an altitude for the entire trip.
I did find this post in the forums, but it seems ambiguous - appears to not work, but the final post suggests there is a way to show altitude changes in profile view. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/foreflight-altitude-in-profile.87550/
Any help very much appreciated.
