I've spent a few hours playing with the RB software today, and have spotted a few things which could be clearer or better arranged. So, here goes.
Firstly, what does the Mode-S Maximum Signal Range button on the map tool bar actually do, I'm not clear as to its function.
Next, in the Interface, is there a way to change the order of the columns? I find I'm constantly needing to move left and right to see the information I'm after, even though I have deselected a fair few columns.
If I increase the map size, I also find that some of the buttons in the Interface (like the ADS-B only flights button) disappear from the reachable area, there doesn't seem to be a "container" view which would allow the whole window to scroll. Is there a plan to make this work a little better, I know others have mentioned being able to overlap windows or have a Z-order to allow better use of smaller screen area. I'm using a widescreen laptop, but it's not that big and I don't have a way of having a bigger screen easily.
I also noticed that using Esc to maximise the map, and the reverting it, leads to all sorts of display problems where the map detail selected is lost and all you get is a few tracks plotted with just the aircraft symbol and a data block but nothing else. I managed to restore it, but it needed reloading the default map to do this. A bit annoying (in fact I like the interface data enough to not do this often) but not a major thing for me really.
A suggestion, which I don't know if it has been made before, is I'd like to be able to have a polar diagram that can be split into altitude bands please. May be tricky, but I assume the data for the polar diagram is stored somewhere and isn't so big that 2 or 3 versions of it would be a problem.
A general comment, there is no description of all the fields in the data block, and I'm sure there are some I have not seen yet. So I'd suggest adding something into the manual that covers this.
Enough for now, more comments as I think of them. Sorry! ;-)
