Hi

It will be very nice to see the frequencies directly beside the name of the airfield, like this:



Its much more easy to contact a airfield on route to ask for activities or something.
Could you implement this, maybe as an selectable option?

you're asking for the implementation of a new layer to be presented in an obsolete way. SD is a intelligent software in supporting you with the right information at the right time. Why pursuing a track of permanent display of information without need? How would you display a big airports galore of initial frequencies? Tim won't give you a toggle in a prominent spot, in case some valuable information is hidden behind .  In my opinion we should force the option to get the radio window with ONE tap/long press somewhere on the main screen. I'm arguing over this with Tim for ages, until now without countable result. My proposal would be a double tap on the virtual radar, because its big - hence easy to invoke even in bumpy skys!

The software don't know, what I need, like or want. If I think, I need the frequencies visible permanently like in the ICAO chart, it will be nice if I can customize it like I want.
Again (and again and again): If you don't need, like, want, whatever: You are not force to use it! Many user of SD would like to have this option, many not. Whats the problem to let the user choice?

Chris_LSZO,

there is no need to throw the toys out of the pram. Shifu is absolutely spot on with his remark, there is nothing more to add. 'Verschlimmbessern' is the fitting german idiom which characterize these processes. If you like to see the frequencies permanently, it´s a good choice to use an ICAO chart.

just my 2 cents

Ok, let it like it is, it doesn't matter. Wasted time here... I will tap again three times (in bumpy air 10 times...) to get a frequency and all is fine.

Chris

we could try to convince Tim to make it ONE EASY TAP, right?

nix für ungut ;-))

-mike

In one easy tap?
Thats not possible because:
- Generally people seem quite happy to find the frequency with a couple of taps on the map.
- This (at present) is very much not a popular request.
- It needs to be developed, integrated, tested & finalised
- It slows down the whole software eventually
- SD is a intelligent software in supporting you with the right information at the right time
- Start adding options indiscriminately and you have "optionware"
- And so on...
Who need frequencies accessible in a direct and easy way? Thats for dummies!

And now serious:
I talked with some pilots about navigation apps. Often they said: Skydemon looks very good, but I prefer a solution with implemented ICAO charts because........... there I can see the frequencies and this is very important for me, because I have to change it for some short requests very often.
Then I asked here for this and more or less 50% was agree with this idea for a option like the choice of ICAO or name or both.

But Again, it was wasted time. Let all like it ist.

If you need three taps, then you are not using the proper method...

See, surely your desire for this feature is legitimate - but so are others, and for your "problem" there is a very simple workaround.

Top three Skydemon bugs which really annoy me - and there is no alternative method to access that information:

1. Course presented as rhumb line and not as a great circle (has been discussed many times here)
2. ED-R150 in Germany not shown, so using SD at night will sooner or later put you in violation of the rules (see above)
3. IFR Procedure-Waypoints not included
