I have just been playing with the new circuit join feature on my iPad mini version of SD.  It could be very useful for sense checking, particularly if the workload is high.  One thing I did notice is that the SOH Join option seems to give LH circuits only even if I specify the circuit direction as RH.  Am I doing something wrong?

First off, let me thank Tim and the entire SD team for making an already great program even better. The new features integrate perfectly with the existing user interface and provide a valuable function. This is how it should be with every piece of software!

My personal opinion about the long list of possible joins: I can live without it. Indicating circuit direction is a valuable reminder and aid to increasing situational awareness. At which part of the pattern I will be joining and at which angle is often determined by traffic once I am pretty close to the field. I might have to modify my join to slide into a slot in a busy pattern. This, to me, is overkill, and adding even more special types of joins is not helping, in my opinion.

I love the little airport briefing window because it shows runway orientation, runway length, airport elevation and comm frequencies in one convenient place, right when you need it.

Thanks, -- Chris.

Chris,

I'll certainly join you in complimenting the SD team with this great product.
I use Skydemon now for more than a year and made long flights, complicated approaches and even flew through the Alps all with the help of SD. It makes flying much more releaxed and joyful and it provides you with the right information at the right time.

Regards,
Tom
