I can see numerous posts and interest about adding User Documents to airfields. You can currently pin your User Documents to specific ICAO airfields but not non-ICAO airfields (only to a generic non-airfield specific User Documents folder). Could this function be added?

We implemented this some time ago. As long as the airfield has some sort of identifier, you can associated an user document with it by using its identifier then an underscore then the rest of the filename.

Can you kindly clarify what you mean when you mention “...as long as the airfield has some sort of identifier...”. I ask as I tried adding a user document with name Keyston_sat photo but it still (as before) only appears in the User Documents area and not under the Keyston airfield tab

On the other hand I have a user document for Elstree airport and that appears under Elstee at the bottom of the right hand menu under the heading “User Documents”

Hi Markus thanks for the reply. Indeed, you can save User Docs to ICAO designated airfields. My post asked if SD would ever allow this function for other airfields and Tim’s reply was it had already been implemented. I am hoping he will reply to clarify how to do it without having to duplicate airfields as custom data.

Well, the caveat is that the airfield must have an identifier that is widely recognised but which isn't an ICAO identifier. Many countries have these but the UK is not one. There is no agreed list of designators for non-ICAO UK airfields.

So in the case of a non-ICAO UK airfield, it isn't currently possible to associated a user document with it in SkyDemon.

Having similar problem with airfield User-Pdfs in Germany as Gary described. I cannot see my added PDFs even if I use ICAO ID of the airfield.

Rheinstetten is a glider field, it does not have an ICAO code. German ICAO codes begin with ED or ET.
