Changes made from version 5.40 to 6.00:

I continue to maintain a list of bugs, requests, fixes and workarounds. I personally have a D2 Delta device but I am unable to contribute to the list for anything that specifically/only affects the Delta S or the Delta PX.

I've bolded anything that would generally consider to be a serious issue that impedes use of the watch or included functionality (ie. reboots versus display or other issues). Reply below with comments and I'll keep the list updated.

Outstanding issues / bugs:

[WATCH] Altimeter hardware does not seem to properly handle rapid elevation changes, either from lag or hanging (also affects Fenix 5X+)
[WATCH] Running Dynamics drops out around two minute mark when phone is connected; workaround: disable connection to phone while running (also affects Fenix 5X+)
[WATCH] There is no way to clear the tail number (aircraft registration) once entered into the watch config
[WATCH] sunrise/sunset calculations appear to be incorrect
[APPS] HSI data screen is missing from the FLY app
[GPS] cannot receive a GPS fix within the flight deck of an Airbus A-320 (and several other aircraft)
[WIDGETS] METAR widget uses watch setting for METAR visibility -- add configuration option for "visibility" to "Aviation Units" section
[WIDGETS] METAR widget displays blanks screen if station (nearest or manually entered) does not have a published METAR (eg. CYCZ)
[WIDGETS] METAR widget does not display the numeric value for the TAF visibility, and instead shows "P SM" or "SM" without the number
[WIDGETS] METAR widget does not handle one-way runways properly when displaying runway wind information
[WIDGETS] METAR widget does not calculate the runway headwind/crosswind components properly (runway magnetic heading is used with METAR wind, which is true heading)
[WIDGETS] Temperature widget does not display the proper density altitude when using metric units on the watch
[CONNEXT] Garmin Pilot does not receive the altitude from the watch

Feature requests:

[WATCH] don't display the Nav Data status at the end of the "About" section, but instead display it after firmware version numbers
[WATCH] add configuration option for "visibility" to "Aviation Units" section, to allow selection of SM, meters or kilometers
[WATCH] add configuration option for "pressure" to "Aviation Units" section, to allow selection of inHG or mb
[WIDGETS] METAR widget only displays cloud coverage (sky) information when there is a measured ceiling but should display FEW and SCT when no ceiling is present
[WIDGETS] METAR widget "Use Nearest" function should retrieve an active GPS fix rather than using the last known position
[WIDGETS] METAR widget only displays the first six (6) periods of the TAF, which I believe is a holdover from the memory issues on the older D2 Bravo devices

Fixed issues:

[WATCH] add support for Galileo GNSS
[WATCH] add support for Spotify (feature request, added in FW 4.50)
[WATCH] pop-up first-time help/hint bubbles are displayed after every reboot and/or sync [fixed in 5.40]
[WIDGETS] Altimeter widget ignores the widget configuration for display units of "feet" when general watch config is set to metric [fixed in 5.40]

Old issues [could not be confirmed or appear to work as expected]:

none at this time
