Arnsberg-Menden and Radar Fixes (3.5 Beta)

Arnsberg-Menden (EDLA) joins the Around the World shelf in 3.5: the field's 1,055 metre runway, Dortmund and Paderborn/Lippstadt on either side, the small fields at Soest, Hamm and Meschede, five hospital helipads, and the Möhne dam for a sightseeing survey.

Dortmund and Paderborn/Lippstadt fly their published SIDs, STARs and RNP approaches from the German AIP, and Dortmund arrivals on the ADEMI 3A pass right over Arnsberg-Menden. The Sauerland rises to the south of the field.

Labels no longer print on top of each other. The ADEMI fix sits 0.4 NM west of Arnsberg-Menden: before, its name and the field's own label ran over the runway 05 number. Now each label moves to a free spot, and a label with no room waits until you zoom in. Waypoint names also keep their size when you zoom out.

On iPad the runway list for a landing clearance is now a panel at the side of the radar instead of a sheet over it, so the aircraft stays in view.

Aircraft ceilings are realistic now, and the altitude picker only offers what the selected aircraft can reach: regional jets climb to FL410, widebodies to FL430, light aircraft to 18,000 ft. Storm cells top out higher to match, so a mature cell still cannot be climbed over.
