Crash when checking Tafs

nje — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:07:21 GMT

I'm flying tomorrow and was just planning a route. I have the latest beta version, so after syncing the device I booted it up got a GPS signal and then checked the Notams (they were OK) then I went to check the Tafs and the device crashed back to the menu

SkyDemon and x-plane flight simulator (almost working)

iva — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:41:36 GMT

Hi there, skipping the mandatory compliments for your great software, let me go to the point:
I'm considering the purchase of SkyDemon and for the time being I'll be using it with the x-plane flight simulator ( [url]http://www.x-plane.com[/url] ), I b

Collision Avoidance - Power Flarm

pink leader — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:21:47 GMT

Tim

Wondering if you have any plans to take a feed from a Collision Avoidance unit such as the Power Flarm? The latest type of unit like this can show Flarm, ADSB, Mode C and Mode S .. with varying degrees of positional accuracy due to the nat

Adding airfields

AnglianAV8R — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:05:39 GMT

Just a thought.... There are airstrips that don't show on the charts that I'd like to add. May I suggest that a green circle be a symbol option on the waypoints menu and the name default to the same green when entered.

Hi Tim,

The link to valid aircraft type designators on the flight plan dialog no longer works - it should now be [b]http://www.icao.int/publications/DOC8643/Pages/Doc8643.aspx[/b]

SD Beta 2.3

AlanM — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 20:22:32 GMT

Have tried the Beta 2.3 but gone back to the current main release.

When running 2.3 I lost most of the toolbars and the start GPS function crashed the programme every time (6goes). Also the gps port selection does not work.

I am usi

SD 2.3 preview serial port crash

iva — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:15:12 GMT

SD 2.3 preview is crashing when starting navigation mode, the "Start GPS" button in the upper right corner, to be clear.
It happens on Windows XP sp3 32 bit, I'm using SkyDemon on my netbook.
The crash only happens with the real GPS input, the sim

srayne — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:52:51 GMT

When running the GPS simulator and I select the new High Contrast Charts then there is a "method not supported" exception.

Details as follows:

System.NotSupportedException: Specified method is not supported.

Log book

hazlebury — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:01:08 GMT

Would it be possible to log my flights and datcon, just something simple, so that I am then doing everything in my SD?

Tape measure?

mr_rodge — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:23:06 GMT

Hi all,

A simple and extremely useful addition to the software would be to have a 'tape measure' tool that could be used to measure the difference between two points. I know it can be done by drawing a route, but if I have already planned my fli

Save as *.fpl for Garmin devices

Milhouse — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 23:12:40 GMT

Hello everyone

I just tested the SkyDemon web and was very happy with the possibilities and especially with the very easy to use user interface. I would love to start using it on a regular basis (web or plan doesn’t matter), but I have one problem: ther

No iPad

Jxe54 — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:23:17 GMT

Hi all

I think Skydemon Flight Planning and its integration with NOTAMS is an outstanding piece of software.

However, I'm amazed there are no plans to produce an iPad app for GPS on the grounds that Windows-based devices are dominant.

Please consider adding .ert file download

Mike M — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 18:53:39 GMT

Please would you consider offering the facility to export routes in .ert file format as well as .gpx? Although .gpx is theoretically universal, in practice it is not. Skydemon is brilliant, and would be even more brilliant if this extra facility were offe

VNAV

denopa — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:53:30 GMT

One feature which is quite useful in Garmin's GNSxxx are the VNAV indications. Either having an alert ("start descending 500fpm to reach 3000feet before next waypoint", with "500ft" a customisable setting and the waypoint and altitude coming from the plan

Sunrise & Sunset

revilla — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 15:22:31 GMT

It would be really useful as part of a complete VFR planning solution to have the facility to calculate sunrise and sunset times for your current GPS position and for other airports or locations, as can be done for example with Garmin 296. Formulae accura

SkyDemon 2.3 Preview

steinardo — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 18:11:51 GMT

If you add a custom airport on top on an existing (which I do because I have more information than currently present in SD) the info of the "new" airport is not visible in the approach plate. This works fine in 2.2.1.

This ability is useful, as t

Data creator - Runway colours & geography

steinardo — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 18:10:22 GMT

In the data creator, most of the runwa colours are logical. But metal and gravel are red, same as unknown - is there a rationale for this? Red for unknown is good, but would suggest different colour for gravel (never seen metal before though).

Circular Routes Broken

bsdchapman — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:25:40 GMT

I think this has only cropped up in the last Beta or two... but when loading a circular route at the airfield, the system automatically assumes I'm on the last leg and directs me to... where I already am. The only way around this recently has been to ins

Printed Pilot Log suggestions

Alexey — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 10:19:21 GMT

1) Suggest to have more flexibility to select which columns to be printed on the plog.
I put plog on my lapboard format A5 portrait. In this format text and numbers become too small. Sometimes I am willing to eliminate some columns in order to free up

Top of Drop and Bottom of Climb Markers ?

airnig — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 17:05:12 GMT

Is it possible to automatically add a bottom of climb (BOC) and top of descent (TOD) point on the vertical profile and show it on the printed nav log to remind you where you need to start climb and descent to avoid controlled airspace / terrain etc ?

map tile missing latest beta

pink leader — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:59:36 GMT

At one resolution (wd you beleive it the one I use most), there is a terrain tile missing just SW of Dishforth after installing latest beta on mobile device.

I will try re-syncing etc.

Anyone got same problem? It just shows black but with road

2.2 Beta High Contrast Maps

Dan P — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 18:24:33 GMT

Hi Tim & Team,

Approach Mode

Tim Dawson — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 14:08:39 GMT

We plan to introduce an approach mode in the forthcoming version of SkyDemon. The problem we wish to solve is that SkyDemon Mobile isn't providing enough help after you have your destination airfield in sight, or are at least on your final leg towards it.

Custom data

steinardo — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 12:38:50 GMT

Bug 1: If you don't add a leading zero to runways below 10, the runway direction is not shown on map. Suggest to automatically add this.

Bug/suggestion: If you add two runway identifiers that don't "add up", e.g. 05/33, then 05/23 is shown on the

2.2.2 Beta 25th Oct Version

srayne — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 11:12:47 GMT

Problems In SkyDemon Plan:

Click on the menu item "Mapping" then click on "Geography>" and the menu completely disappears. Hovering over "Geography>" and the sub-menu opens but overlays the "Mapping" menu - I would expect it to display to the rig
