Hi,

I like Skydemon. It is really a wonderful product !

I'm only missing a little thing: I like to simulate flights before to flight it, and I don't think it is strange.

I think that it should be very nice to implement a feature where you can get position/heading/time/speed/altitude input from X-Plane 10 via UDP instead of local sensors.

You could easily implement their protocol, or write something to be used via a plugin.

This will allows to flight virtually, using the Skydemon as in the real flight !

Thanks

I am a SkyDemom customer. I use X-plane for instrument training. In real life I would switch from SkyDemon or AirNavPro to Jeppesen before the approach, but I often go a little back and forth on the iPad during an instrument approach.


So when practicing using X-plane I think it would be of great value to be able to use SkyDemon on the iPad togheter with X-plane, especially if it could be done without tweaking.


AirNavPro has done this in an excellent manner. You simply install a plug-in on X-plane. When the plug-in is activated in X-plane (on the PC) AirNavPro (on the iPad) automatically uses the signals received over the network the same way it would use signals from the unit's gps.


It is super fast and easy to set up and works great. It can't be too difficult for the SkyDemon Team to come up with something similar.
