After a week of intensive work, we have unified all the print output for SkyDemon across all our various products, into a brand-new print engine. This means that the ability to create a Briefing Pack is the same, the paper sizes are the same, the ability to print two-per-page is the same, and you are in full control over the font size used so you can make it perfect for your own eyesight. We've also taken the opportunity to refresh the look and feel of many of the printed items, and solve some long-standing issues. I will briefly mention what we've done for each piece of printed output below but please feel free to simply download a beta of SkyDemon Plan and try it for yourself.

http://www.skydemon.aero/start/beta.aspx

Pilot Log: Look and feel updated, rules added to the end of the last page to assist note taking in flight
Airfield Information: Look and feel updated, circuits and other recent information now included, better mapping, will be available on iOS for the first time
Weather Briefing: Look and feel updated, decoded weather briefing on PC available for the first time
Weight and Balance: Look and feel updated, fuel itemisation now included on PC, missing graph issue solved on iOS

Erik, of course there are half the number of "pages" when you switch from two (small) pages on one sheet of A4 to one large sheet of A4 (for example). If I have misunderstood, please elaborate.

To the people reporting errors, in order to reproduce them I will need the exact route you've got plotted please. Also your settings. Thanks!

I haven't even looked at getting this stuff working on Android yet. It is unlikely to be a pleasant experience.

Tim,

It's the other way around. I have twice as much pages and the full briefing pack when printing on A4 two per page then when I print one per page on A5. When printing A5 one per page, I get only half the briefing pack.
At this moment I have a briefing pack containing all info available (all selected in the top menu). If I select A4, landscape and "two per page" I get 9 pages with all the info (2x A5 on one A4 landscape). When I select A5, portrait and deselect "two per page" I get 5 pages with only the info until half way the approach information page.
So it looks like the program divides the amount of pages instead of doubling them. 

Erik
