GREAT JOB!

few comments:

1. hope we can include the second map as printable, so take care with font colors, make sure they look sharp in B/W, and good contrast in color print.

2. airbases, AFAIK, in old Falcon4 maps they are marked as small circles with a straight line inside to represent runway headings. sure, using such symbol could look blurred in kneemap view, but definitely worth in printouts.

3. another idea for print out map, old Falcon4 maps set grids and label "minimal flight altitude" in each grid box, pretty cool to remind you keep above that alt.

4. some danger zones or no-fly zones should be marked.

5. list of symbols, and scales of map.

Well, that's a lot of work ;) I'll keep it on a back burner for now, With all these terrain kneemaps I have to do.

Good one. MSA is quite usefull indeed. Any idea where I can get the info from? I mean not IRL, but in F4 ;) for SOS. But I didn't finf any picture of the MOA or zone around the airbase.
