I noticed the change on Foreflight a week or two ago.

Nice. No more going blind trying to see if the symbol for 'drizzle' or 'thunderstorms' refers to this side or that side of the line ...

w00t! They finally made it to 1980s graphics. NOW IF WE CAN GET THM TO STP USG ALL CAPS AND UNNEC ABBR we'd be up to the 1990s.

If you are the guy who still uses the lone remaining teletype... I hate you and you need to upgrade your ****.

Or that I wrote it without skipping a beat? <bows head in shame>

its about time they started using grPhics ,that most pilots can understand.

I like the new prog charts. They now distinguish precip areas according to how likely the rain is. Is it four levels --pale color, pale color plus hatch, dark color, very dark color?

There's a reason we still use the abbreviations

That is an excellent change, IMHO.

They'll probably still use the '60's format for the exams...
