This difference is also given in the german AIP. It seems, that SkyDemon comes with the IFR-AIP and I can´t find a dedicated "German VFR-AIP" But in "real life" is a VFR-AIP. The difference between VFR and IFR-AIP is the publishing date and an 14 days-offset when changes will be effective. The date of published data has an offset of 14 days between VFR and IFR. For SD I have purchased the German AIP-Plates‌‌ and I´v found some aerodrome-information concerning smaller airfields which is only found in the German VFR-AIP. So far so good, but the rest of the german AIP (General, Enroute...) seems to be the IFR-Part. My question is: doesn´t DFS offer the VFR-Part ‌‌to SD or is the German VFR-part simply not offered in SD? Thanks for your time and answer, Renzo‌‌‌

I still do not understand why you are actually asking about this: what EXACTLY are you missing in the VFR AIP that is essential for your flying?‌‌ Hi Tim again, so‌rry for putting this "explicid german" subject on you. I paid a very close look into the AIP provided in SD and my "DFS printed" AIP VFR version. There are differences in numbering the parts and so on. But anyhow: the closer look to both AIP said: nearly everything is to find in SD´s AIP Germany. so, no problem at all. My point was to get (and see in SD) an identical digital copy of my "paper-AIP" but it seems that Eisenschmidt does not provide a product like this. e.g. in the paper AIP you can find a chart, where all airspaces in GER are shown and described with their specifications. A chart like this (really just an example, I know the airspaces in GER ;-) ) wasn´t to find yet in the SD-AIP Germany. ‌‌Anyhow, to complete this thread for now: I like it very much to work with SD because of its functionality, the access to all the AIPs for the downloaded countries and so on. I did several testflights with X-Plane to be prepared for the real world and I´m conviced. Ok, when I don´t wait for the autozoom and geo-referenced charts ;-) ;-) Fine Job you do there, I like it, even if we do not agree in every part we discussed already‌‌. Kind regards, Renzo‌‌
