Without that, we won't be able to dig in properly and find out what's not going right for you. Make sure that you log engine start too, based on what you've said.

I’m 90% sure right now that that didn’t solve the issue. I will check specifically next week and get back to you. Thanks for your support!

Theoretically skydemon would be an ideal tool for us. I can import complex routes including several hundred waypoints (eg. overhead transmission line towers) and skydemon performs perfectly and rock solid on IOS. However, the automatic landing detection creates two major issues for us: 1. Every time a landing is falsely detected, the map zoom jumps back to the specified default zoom level. 2. The logs are seperated into several fragments with sometimes long gaps in between. Is there any way to completely disable the automatic On Block logging? We only need pure manual logging. For our use case skydemon would be an absolutely superior tool if we could solve this one issue. I believe this would also solve the issues of the aerobatic guys: Flight logging during aerobatics is inconsistent Edited 6/23/2021 8:41:43 AM by zwischennetz
