ATZ frequencies

hazlebury — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 11:13:02 GMT

I may be missing the point somewhere, but if I fly towards Wycombe ATZ, say, it pops up with the appropriate proximity warning but doesn't give me the tower frequency to request transit. That's not especally helpful - is it just that Wycombe frequency is

Hi

As promised, here is the finger friendly input panel I've been working on. It is intended for users of 800x480 devices, and the size has been optimised to work with SkyDemon as far as possible.

No journey logs available on Mobile MD 2.2.1

Walter Böhnke — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:27:27 GMT

Hello,

ikarus61 — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 11:59:30 GMT

I read this from today's Flyer flyer:

denopa — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:08:50 GMT

Hi
I now use the web version of skydemon only, having ditched Parallel for Mac. I was checking on my device the time stamp on the map files and they are out of date. I could not find on my mac the sky data files which are stored locally by SkydemonWeb

Yoke mount for SD Mobile

freddie0509 — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:16:08 GMT

Can anyone tell me the best yoke mount for the SD Mobile unit. I fly a PA28 and found it too obtrusive when fixed onto the front windshield. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Clock

pink leader — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:31:17 GMT

Just noticed that SD Mobile time display is not (or does not seem to be) controlled by the GPS satellite time feed but by the internal device clock. If that clock is wrong then ETA etc is also wrong. What it does seem to do is correct such time for Zulu.<

Hi Folks, I'm new to the forum and used my Skydemon GPS for the first time in my Gyrocopter today. I found it very difficult to read in bright sunlight and was wondering if anyone else had this problem and how they have overcome it. My gyro is

SkyDemon mobile in a tight, bright cockpit

Rob P — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 23:37:39 GMT

My Van's RV4 actually has a Garmin 296 mounted quite low down which is usable. But once you have run SkyDemon there is no going back.

I was looking for a way to install SkyDemon in the very tight cockpit under the full bubble canopy

tangovictor — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 17:00:07 GMT

Just used the 30min trial of Mobile and have exported the route log into a google earth file (via [url]http://www.gpsvisualizer.com[/url])

All worked fine, but just produced a flat route. On my Bendix AV8OR (which I loaded up SD onto) the native

Flicked across to the pseudo ILS whilst on the 28 ILS into Blackpool yesterday, and it was giving me half-scale "fly down" deflection whilst established correctly on the real glideslope. Badness!

Hi, after using my SD mobile device for a few flights now I have to say that its a really nice peice of kit and works great...............but my one gripe is the screen resolution. If you use the web planning side of SD on your PC the resolution

OBS hold mode

tmmorris — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 12:51:41 GMT

Does Skydemon mobile (MD or otherwise) provide an OBS hold feature, a la Garmin Aera/196?

My trust Lowrance Airmap 1000 has died (and anyway the database updates have dried up) so I am hoping Father Christmas will oblige with a new GPS. I need to

Map Scale Display (Simulator vs Device)

When running the simulator on a PC I see a scale in the bottom left hand corner of the display, a horizontal line with a short vertical bar at either end and text aong the lines of "5.0 nm, 1:160000". On the actual device (a SkyDemon MD) this is not displ

Suction Mounts for SkyDemon Mobile MD

revilla — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 14:01:39 GMT

I'd like to buy an additional windscreen suction mount, exactly like the one that came with my mobile MD, but I can't find them for sale on the SkyDemon website or anywhere else. The proper clip-in mounts are much better than generic PDA holders available

Hi, I recently bought a SD MD and registered through the web. Why does the MD still tell me it is not registered when I start it up?
