Hello,

I've been looking at the software and it seems to do what I need but could you answer a question please? The annual subscription includes the supply of NOTAMS and weather data (TAFs and METARs?) but I can get this at the moment from NOAA and the AIS web site. Can the software get the data from these free sources instead of me having to pay for it from you? Thanks. Smile

Jon.

Frankly I think this is whingeing of the worst kind. You do not have to buy the product. Plenty of public service data of all kinds is free but its those who package it in a useful way who add value and deserve to be recompensed for meeting a market need. Since when was the value of anything determined by its component cost?

By the way forgoing updates will not prevent you getting NOTAMs etc.

You have a choice  ..exercise it one way or the other but don't whine for the sake of a few quid.

I may be misunderstanding the licence agreement, appologies if I am. On the Store pages it says 'Includes one year of chart updates, software upgrades, NOTAM and weather subscription.'  To me this means that after a year I have to pay to keep getting notams and weather data in Skydemon, is this not the case?
