Experienced multiple crashes (Skydemon stops working) when loading georeferenced appraoch charts (DFS Germany) or Austrian Charts for VFR flights.  Happens since the latest Skydemon program update (just on abservation) - never before.
I re-started the device, same result, today 3 times already.

Hello SD-Team from South-Germany,

we´re  using VFRnav the last time and we´re testing the trial-version of SD for a few days now.
Our intention to change from VFRnav to SD was the fact, that the AIP should be integrated already.

But we have problems...

On Nexus 7 we´ve the same problems, particularly with the georeferenced charts of austria.
SD is only stable without the austrian AIPs in the chart - but we want to have them
When I scroll in the map, I can´t see the AIP, only the red cross - then a few seconds later, I have a black screen and finally the homescreen appears.

In VFRnav you have the possibilitiy to georeference individual AIP-charts for yourself, which is a very good solution.
There you can decide for yourself, how big the data storage is.
The datas of the austrian charts are too big - so finally Skydemon can´t work with them.
We should have a tool to reduce the data size of them.

Our question:

• Before we´ll buy your product we want to ask you, is it possible to test the German-DFS-AIPs for trial?  
• It doesn´t make sense to buy it, when it won´t work stable with the AIPs in the chart
• Do you have a program/ function to create "custom AIPs" like in VFRnav - especially for the austrian AIPs?
• Can I integrate custom georeferenced JPGs or PDFs in Skydemon ?

We need this for SKYDEMON:

The JPGs or PDFs are saved as: StJohann_12.3529_47.5962_12.5234_47.4556.JPG

Thanks for your your help an service.
Best regards.

Hi,


FYI, I use a Nexus 7 2013 and DFS plates are perfectly rendered (as well as the French ones) without any of the issues we have with the Austrian ones.

I also had some crashes with Austrian plate, but I can't blame Skydemon. Even when using a dedicated PDF reader on a PC, they are difficult to open (and very badly designed as approach charts). Memory is a key point and perhaps you should test with a more recent device.
