I've been using Skydemon on my Ipad and PC since a few days so I'm still kinda learning all the options it offers.


One thing that I became aware of during planning of today's flight was that the winds aloft that Skydemon downloaded where not the same as the ones reported by the meteo service here in Holland. During the flight I noticed the actual winds at my cruising altitude were indeed different and I started looking for an option in Skydemon for Ipad to overrule the winds at my altitude with a setting of my own.



Long story short, I can't find this option. I have found it in the Skydemon for PC (its under weather->enroute conditions) but then you have to adapt for each leg individually which is a bit cumbersome, and you have to do it before the actual flight.
For the Ipad version I have not been able to find an option to overrule the automatically downloaded winds aloft at all.



As it is quite likely that I'm still missing something in this great program I thought I'd ask the veteran users on this board



- Is there a possibility in Skydemon for PC to overrule the winds at cruising altitude for all legs at the same time (so not per individual leg)

and more importantly.

- Is there a possibility in Skydemon for Ipad to manually adjust the winds at cruising altitude during navigation (and thus updates the PLOG accordingly)?

Hi Tim,

Indeed in the Windows version you can set the winds aloft all at once. Thanks for the help with that.

Did that for my last flight and printed the PL which reflected the choices I made (I always make sure I have a paper backup, you can call me oldschool :laugh. So, after that I saved the route to the cloud so I could open it on the IPad version, hoping that the manually entered Winds aloft value would be saved with the route and thus be used on the IPad aswell.

Unfortunately that wasn't the case. The IPad version still downloaded the winds aloft values by itself (which were different and quite a bit more variable) and used those instead for the PL on the IPad.

So, a bit further but still not quite there were I was hoping for .

As you wrote that manually adjusting/overruling winds aloft on the Ipad is not supported as of now, I guess I can do no more then suggest that this is added in a future release? This will benefit flight planning on the IPad, especially if you have no Internet connection available at the time.
