Hi all at the forum,

I signend up for Sky Demon a few days ago and try to find my way through it right now. So it might be that I just did not found what I am looking for.
Thats why I am going to ask the allmighty forum :-)

I am going to do a 3 week new zealand VFR trip in 01/2016. Because of many good reviews and reports I decidet to go for skydemon instead of any other nav sw.
After downloading I tried to get used to the VFR charts, but dont do realy well with it.
Paperwise I am used to the german Jeppeson and ICAO charts  with all the roads, forests, railroads, churches...digital to Flightplanner with the same content.
Right now I cant find these informations/content on the skydemon maps. I already downloaded the high resolution map, changed between map styles and even had a glass or 2 of redwine...nothing made the roads appear.

Than I tried to gather airport informations (departure/arrival charts, frequencies like you get it in the AIP) by clicking on the airport. I cant get these informations either. At flight planner I just right click on the airport and than all the informations can be seen. Is there a way to gather these infos directly from the program without jumping to the AIP?

Does anyone have an idea what I do wrong??? I am thankfull for every hint

Greetz, Alex

To be clear, SkyDemon is developed for the European market. We license AIPs for that market. We have not licensed AIPs for the New Zealand market.



My heart beats faster whenever I read this. Finally there's something good coming to us first, rather than always drooling at what the US pilots all get (and mostly for free!).

Thanks Tim, -- Chris.
