Prior to using the much superior Sky Angel, then subscribing to Sky Demon, I used Jepp FlightStar for my VFR planning (I admit it !).

One of the features I found really useful in FlightStar was the ability to select a waypoint airfield to land and re-fuel (or clear customes etc whilst enroute to South of France). This allowed a trip kit to be printed with all legs included in the PLOG, and to automatically dowload the approach and landing plates etc for the intermediate stops. The PLOG also calculated the diffeences in the total leg times to include the landing and take off info.

In SkyDemon currently, if I want to fly to my ususal field in the south of France, I can't capture this landing en-route data on the PLOG or virtual radar etc.

Is this functionality already included in SD and I can't find it (if so please help look in the correct direction), if not can it be added as part of the planning procedures, perhaps as a right click on an en-route airfiled with an option to land and refuel? This is then reflected in the PLOG and virtual radar, and the plates downloaded automatically if available?

Great stuff and keep up the excellent work.

It's something we're still considering. It's probably one of the features we don't have which is requested most often, but the points against it are also strong, in that it would require significant development investment and would complicate the product.

Hi Tim,

just thought I'd give you a few ideas from a user's point of view on what the added functionality should encompass.

For each waypoint in a route I would like to be able to designate it as an "overfly" (that's the default) or "landing" waypoint. It would be nice if the "landing" waypoints were shown in a different color so that they stand out easily when viewing a long route.

For each "landing" waypoing I would like to be able to specify the amount of fuel upon departure as well as the time spent on ground. These pieces of information should, of course, be carried over into the subsequent route calculations (ETA, weight and balance, etc.)

To access the additional information for each waypoint I think it would be easiest to do a "long tap" on it, which already brings up a waypoint information window which then incorporates the additional data items.

Just a bump of the topic. Has it made it yet to a likely spot on your to-do list, Tim?

Thanks, -- Chris.
