Hello there,

I had my first longer flight with SkyDemon yesterday and  I have to say, I am really impressed. Only one thing nagged me all the time: Since I have the tablet with me and not solid built-in in the cockpit, it stays on the knees of my Co. And in some turbulent athmosphere, it happens, that you touch the display even if you don't want to - and you start a funcionality then that wasn't intended. So my intention is, that SkyDemon should have a button to disable the touch-functionality, unless this button is touched once again. Even better would be an option, to even deactivate ALL touch-functions from Android while navigation mode is enabled. Since I am new to SkyDemon, perhaps there already is an option for this and I might have overseen it?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Best regards, Tobias‌‌

There is no such function, but everything important in flight is essentially locked anyway. Your route cannot be changed without unlocking it, and a temporary accidental move of the map will revert after 15 seconds. Perhaps you could explain further about what you're worried about changing accidentally?


Hi Tim,

thanks for your answer. The thing isn't rather the functions of SD itself, but the functionalities of Android (Disable WLAN, Bluetooth, change brightness of the screen etc.) I would be very happy, if there was a possibility‌‌, by pressing the "screen off"-button on the side of your Android-Tablet, you could decide whether you want the screen to go off or to only lock the touchscreen. For me this would be very helpful in turbulent air...
