I think I'm about to become another fan of SkyDemon. I spent a happy afternoon yesterday downloading the trial version and going through the instructions, and it looks very impressive. So much so that I'm thinking of going down the cheapo Chinese GPS route to back up my Garmin Aera.



I have a question about the Weather Stations window and the "Add Airfield" function. It works perfectly, but I'm disappointed to see that any airfields I add don't seem to be saved when I close SD; the window reverts to the default list when I reopen SD.



Or am I doing something wrong?



Thanks for any tips..

The potential problem with saving additions to the list is that they would stay there, in a window that isn't visible by default, forever (or until somebody removed them). I can envisage this becoming a problem when you start planning new routes and SkyDemon is still always downloading weather from your original additions.



Thanks for your response Tim. I'm still trying to think that through (aren't the planning window and the weather registration windows tied very closely together in that a new route delivers a new set of weather stations, regardless of old inputs?), but an option to nominate "home airfields" would be a very handy addition. I also like AT3's suggestion of a user-definable radius. Is there any way of restricting the weather stations window to show only a/fields for which METARs and TAFs are available? Not hugely important, I admit, but it would make it look neater, perhaps.
