Hello Skydemon Team,

I tried to export my Skydemon Flightplan to the Garmin .fpl format and it seems not to work anymore.
The Garmin SW “FlightPlan Migrator” ( import into GNS430W unit) comes back with the error message: “ *.fpl is not a valid Garmin flight plan file.”

Looking into the *.fpl file, it seems that the ICAO waypoints identifier has nothing in it where as an airport or e.g. a VOR has the correct identifier:
E.g. Metro-VOR:

  <waypoint>
  <identifier>MTR</identifier>
  <type>VOR</type>
  <country-code>ED</country-code>
  <lat>50.276279</lat>
  <lon>8.848625</lon>
  <comment />

And the ICAO-Waypoint e.g. PEKIG:
<waypoint>
  <identifier />
  <type>INT</type>
  <country-code>ED</country-code>
  <lat>49.976944</lat>
  <lon>9.052222</lon>
  <comment />
  </waypoint>

Export worked last year in September, but not anymore. I tried MacOS as well as Windows Version. Is on both platforms the same.
Please find attached an example Flightplan with Skydemon and *.fpl format and as well as working *fpl file back from September 2023, with the correct ICAO-Identifiers.
Can you please try to reproduce this problem?
Many thanks,

Thomas

There was something changed a few months ago which does explain the initial post in this thread. However that should be fixed now in the latest version. If you have an export from SkyDemon that isn't working correct, and one from another app that does work correctly, it would be very useful if you could send both to us so we can analyse them.

Hi Tim,

It appears the problem exists when importing .fpl plans from the iPad but not PC.  Would you like me to send you the two files?

Thanks

Steve
