Why do I keep getting screenfuls of this in flight? I got six of these in a one hour flight on Saturday. Any way to turn off these messages?

Thanks.

I think it is because you have a cellphone internet connection available when flying.

SD is telling you it has lost connectivity.

I see this quite often on my smartphone that I use for SD.

Thanks. Seems like overkill, I don't need half a screen of tiny red writing repeatedly to tell me this. Is there a way of supressing the messages?

Rog,

The only way I know of to prevent these messages is to set ‘SkyDemon/Settings/Internet Options’ to ‘Live Data when Planning’, though that of course means you won’t get live updates to notams, etc in flight and can only access SkyDemon’s own airfield plates or any you have previously downloaded during the planning stage.

As Tony has indicated the problem is due to your device losing internet access, which is common at altitude.

If you want to keep your internet running in flight you just need to keep acknowledging/clearing the messages by touching outside the box - though this can be a pain.

Regards

Peter
