I have to download the charts from there to see them in "my" country. So if I fly for example in germany, I have to download all charts from all countrys around to be sure to see all boundarys. This need a lot of ressources... Could you change this please? Its very dangerous like this now... Chris Edited 9/22/2016 6:21:47 AM by Chris_LSZO

Something along the lines that airspace doesn't stop at national boundaries so you need to load the adjacent maps. For example, airspace in France may extend into Belgium so you need to load the French chart even though you are only flying in Belgium but close to the Belgian/French border. Tony

Thats easy: Skydemon have to show all airspaces in the country I have installed.... Include border areas.... Thats very important in my opinion! Chris Edited 9/22/2016 8:50:39 AM by Chris_LSZO

He read the comment from Skydemon in the chart window: "The fewer charts are loaded, the faster the software will be". Fine he think, I load just the German chart, cause I want fly only in Germany. So he fly around the black forest and Bodensee, very nice flight... Few days after he is back at home, there are a big letter from Skyguide/Switzerland because airspace voilence, he have to pay 8.000 Euros. Because in real, he enter the TMA Zuerich. Is here anyone don't understand this problem??? Chris

Is here anyone don't understand this problem??? Chris The "problem" is well understood and has been discussed at length elsewhere in these forums (see here). As already explained, the "solution", if you are flying in an area which borders on another country, is to load the chart for that other country.

I know this "solution"... I hope so, all new users of Skydemon know this too, because there is no warning about this. A clear warning will be much better then this statement: "The fewer charts are loaded, the faster the software will be". Chris
