Group: Forum Members Posts: 47, Visits: 141	been a fervent SD user for a couple of years r‌uns perfectly on iPad using internal GPS f‌inally got around to integrating PilotAware for trip to Project propeller yesterday t‌raffic reported fine during positioning flight to Conington b‌ut as I got closer to Gloucester, SD kept crashing s‌ometimes after 30 seconds; sometimes after a few minutes c‌hatting with a colleague on the ground, it was suggested that too many contacts generate more messages than SD can handle‌ h‌e also thought a fix might be in the pipeline to simply discard the extra data a‌ny news? a‌nything I should be doing? I‌ have to say SD + PilotAware is just amazing!!!‌‌‌ _______________________________ Mike McP G-BHLX SD 3.8.1 iPad retina

Whilst in the air, your device will be using a huge amount of resources and power looking for a WiFi connection, to the detriment of running apps.

E‌dit ...which is why I always turn off WiFi when going flying!‌ but how do you connect to PilotAware with wifi off? ‌ Ah well! I don't have Pilot Aware, but in your case, the only option would seem to be to go into Offline Mode, as you have discovered. The odd thing is, if your device has established a WiFi connection with Pilot Aware, it shouldn't be looking for another connection. The only thing that I can think of is that the WiFi connection between your device and Pilot Aware is a bit flaky for some reason, which is causing your device to 'hunt' for a better connection. This is pure speculation on my part, since I am not an expert in such matters.
