Data Creator/Airfield Editor not working?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 50, Visits: 205	For some years I have been adding some private strips to SD as I come across them, using the Custom Data Creator in the PC version. I've just tried to add a new one, and whilst I've completed all the data fields I can, and double-checked that I have added the lat/long in Nddmmss.ss Wdddmmss.ss format as the contextual help specifies, I can't add the airfield because the 'OK' button remains greyed out: Has something changed? Or have I forgotten/missed something? Whilst I am on this subject, is it possible to add this functionality to the iOS/Android versions of SkyDemon as well as the Windows application?

No, we regard custom data creation as advanced functionality and because of its niche appeal we have no plans to port it to our mobile apps. We only include the PC tool because it costs us little to do so, as we use it internally already.
