In SD (on the iPad), whenever I create a new route and go to the Flight Details tab, I have to change the cruise setting. In my aircraft profile I have defined different power settings for cruise (100%, 75%, 65% and 55%). Usually I fly with 65% power, but the 100% profile will always be selected by default.


Regarding power settings I have two questions:

(1) How do I delete a power setting?
(2) How do I specify a power setting as the default setting?

Thanks, -- Chris.

I have an entry for my aircraft in the Aircraft Library on my PC version of SD.
W‌hen I transfer a route via the cloud to my iPad version of SD I always get a message saying: at least one of the power settings specified on your route do not match up with the power settings on the selected aircraft.
H‌ow do I fix this?

It usually means that your Aircraft Profile on your iPad differs in some way to your Aircraft Profile on your PC. Load your Aircraft Profile on your PC, check that all the parameters are correct, making any changes that are necessary, and save it to the Cloud. You can also save it locally if you wish. Then open the offending route on your PC, check that all the route parameters are correct, making any changes that are necessary, and save it to the Cloud. You can also save it locally if you wish. Then download the Aircraft Profile from the Cloud to your iPad. Finally, download the route from the Cloud to your iPad and everything should be OK.

The two profiles have seemingly identical information. H‌owever, I did as you suggested but no joy.  

‌I then attempted to delete all of the profiles on the iPad (no indication of how to do that - needed to look on the forum) - but you cant delete the last one.  I then downloaded the aircraft from the cloud to the iPad again and hey presto - no error message.  My attempted deletion seemed to fix it.

‌It is not obvious what is going on behind the scenes here.  There was obviously a conflict between the info on the PC and the info on the iPad but it is not obvious which profile SD chooses in the end.  Which library? The iPad library or the PC library?

‌T‌here seems to be a small buglet in there somewhere or at least a confusing operation but I am fixed for the moment.

T‌hanks for your help.
