it's not planned to be added in the near future

[Simleybob]

Yup, trust us aero.

[aeroniemi]

so, you'd prefer to have the old ND and plan mode, over the new ND?

[Simleybob]

Never said that

[KBNOtaku]

That sounds a little bit rude and like you are pissed? Sorry if I get you angry about that!
I am just asking to keep the PLAN mode. I don't think it will hurt the MAG787 if you let it as it is, but I thing it will hurt if you remove it?

Just an Update with ALPHA-10:
When now switching into PLAN mode via key binding, I am now again able to use STEP in the CDU, before I only could use it with popout FMC, thanks! Could be because of the force redraw you changed for it.
So the thing I am asking would be great if we pleas still could activate PLAN mode again with the knob or within the Menu in the ND?

[aeroniemi]

like it or not, that is the situation - there is no way to make it work effectively with the new ND. Simply put, if you want to use PLAN, stick with 1.7.18 that is currently on the live branch.

This now should be named "Possibility to activate PLAN mode again" or "Add PLAN mode again"

[Simleybob]

could it be worth bringing back the default ND to have Plan mode. since this is a thing in xp12? https://developer.x-plane.com/article/navigation-display-scaling/
