Hi Tim
iPad 2
Software up to date
Just updated to latest Skydemon
I log out and log back in to Skydemon and I set my route while connected to Wifi
I turn the IPad off and go to hanger.
I start engine and turn on Flarm and IPad
On the iPad I check it is connected to Flarm/Butterfly Wifi network.
Then I go flying via Setup connection options Flarm, go flying.
I do not get an error message for the first or possibly second flight but after the third flight I get the error message every ten minuets.
The error message gives date and time and says " There was a communications error during operation "Downloading TAFs (or notams etc.) Timed out "...............etc

This happens every time I go flying. I have photos of error message if they will help.

When you see the errors, can you check to see what the setting under Setup -> Communication Options is? Does changing it help?

Live data when planning ticked in connectivity options. Will try offline mode next time I go flying

Hi Paul,
I have a similar situation on my ipad. When I select 'go fly' it is finding my position just fine, but only for about 10 seconds, then the plane disappears and a bar comes up with 'waiting for location data'. This is done on the ground, not in the air. On my Iphone it works fine. You are writing to turn off airplane mode, because it turns off GPS, where do I do that?
Regards, Bart.

Hi Tim. The error messages display wether it is set as offline mode or live data when planning. Set route at home with wifi and went flying. No error messages. Landed and set new route for home. No wifi at airfield. On flight back got error messages every ten mins when Skydemon tried to download TAFs notams plates etc. Change to offline Mode did not stop error messages.

Unfortunately that brings me to a dead end in my investigations. Explicitly setting Offline Mode prohibits SkyDemon from embarking upon any new network communications. I have added some debug code to the communications module to see if that helps in the next version. If it doesn't, we may need to get you a beta version with enhanced diagnostic logging.

Hello to everybody,
I am going to install a Flarm system to use it with Ipad mini as display;
are there any news about the problems discussed in this thread?


Thanks
