Group: Forum Members Posts: 14, Visits: 14	Hi there, I was just wondering if it's possible to print a partial complete PLOG! ie set which columns you want to be empty. I'll give an example why - I create a route the evening before my afternoon flight. I know that the wind will be different come my flight. I want to print the PLOG in advance and can fill in the wind, true track, speed and time manually 30 minutes before the flight using SkyDemons latest information at that time. This would give me a backup should the device fail in the air. I'd find this really useful as I don't have a printer available where I am once I get to the airfield. Thanks Rob

Hi Tim, Thanks - I'll check my version on the PC at home tonight! Thanks Rob

Hi Tim, if I do not select "perform wind calculation" in "settings" I do not have any information about GS and TIME in the pilot log (computer)! For me is very important to have the data in zero wind conditions because I can program the flight the day before.

For me is very important to have the data in zero wind conditions because I can program the flight the day before. Surely this is expected - if you turn off the wind calculations, SkyDemon cannot calculate either the ground speed or the time as these are affected by the wind. If you want a "zero wind" PLog, go into the "Weather" pane, select "Weather Tools", then "Set wind conditions for flight" to "0/0" instead of "Auto". This can be done for the entire flight, or leg by leg if you prefer.
