Default New SkySight Route Color meanings

On Sunday, 6 June 2021 at 4:41:10 am UTC+10, G M wrote:
I noticed that SkySight has changed its Route Forecast Section and gives auto suggested routes but with different color schemes: red, green and yellow (or close enough). Does anyone know what these color codes represents, suggested distance for difference sailplane classes perhaps? I searched and could not find anything. I believe the potential distance section is for an 18 meter ventus.

Thanks in advance


It's meant to be a proxy for difficulty.
Red - Longer and more complex
Green - Shorter and easier

All of the calculations in the program, including PFD & Route forecast vary according to the performance/pilot factor you set in Settings - Account. The default is 100.
