Searched the forum and didn't see this mentioned before. Apologies if it has been and I missed it.

Not a huge thing, but would be nice to have an option for the E6B to always pop  up when the clipboard does.

If you open the E6B, and close the clipboard without closing the E6B, it'll still be there when you bring the clipboard back up. I do it all the time when flying buffs, and way too often when flying the ki-84 since I can barely read the gauges in it. I also have it set on a switch on my throttle so it just flashes up on the screen & gets closed really fast.

True. I usually do that before starting the engine. Just thought it'd be fun to toss out there as an option like the auto takeoff checkbox. For those lazy days, or when you don't have time to set it up as mentioned due to trying to get up while dodging the current vulch brigade.

I think it would be fun for the e6b to actually be the slide rule and whiz wheel that it is in real life.

I remember when my Flight Instructor flipped that I could actually operate one... I want that..  I want everyone who doesn't know how to operate one to suffer

What, you worry about fuel consumption rates when you're being vulched?

Jig, man, I think your priorities are a bit misplaced. ;)

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

It would also be cool if you could have it  (e6b) hanger while choosing a plane, so if your not sure about fuel consumption (minutes) in a  plane it would be able to tell yaz,  but it would have to show minutes as if you were full throttle in hanger before hitting runway,    you dont know that until your on runway and pushing the throttle,.... unless i missed something.   :)    Ya the planes i fly all the time, i more less know there fuel loads, but those i dont fly much I never remember  :(
