We are also going to replace one of our old GNS430 by an IFD440 soon and would very much appreciate Skydemon to interface with the Avidyne IFD100 app in order to allow upload of flightplans to the device.

As we just got the information from Avidyne that Skydemon got all their data to be able to work with the IFD systems, we strongly expect Skydemon to provide this solution soon. Else Skydemon wouldn´t be an option in future. We would very much regret this, hoping for a good solution which allows to continue using Skydemon also in combination with the Avidyne IFD applications.

Also, there is nothing whatsoever stopping their app from accepting flightplans from SkyDemon right now, and facilitating their upload to your device.

Thanks again,

Steffen

In the meantime SD implemented the requested functionality to push flight plans to Avidyne IFD devices.

I highly appreciate this new feature and I´m very happy with it. That’s makes things really easy. It´s a pleasure! :-)

I'm a happy customer since 2013. I recently upgraded my avionics to an Avidyne IFD540 and now I'm badly missing the possibility to upload flight plans from SD to the IFD. The least thing I want to consider is moving on to that other software that really sucks so much so could you please consider this feature?

Thanks,

Steffen

I'am very pleased to do so. Is this beta published via the normal beta process?

For iPad I can see in Testflight the Version 3.14.2.254 and for Android it says there is no current beta.

For now I can test the iPad and Android version against the iPad IFD Simulator, I'll be at my plane earliest at the weekend.

cheers

Checked it on iPad Mini2  against the iPad IFD trainer, worked fine. Looking forward to test it on hardware, hopefully this weekend.

(First I had some issues that the IFD could not be found by SD, but neither did the IFD100 App, so I guess this was more of a general iPad/Wifi issue. I fixed it by restarting the iPad with SD and IFD100 and also Pressed the ower knob on the trainer IFD to reinitialize the wifi networking.)

Thanks a lot.

Roger. I am happy to help.

use it as a GPS source

That would be my next question, but already answered . Is it still then be possible to retrieve GDL90 traffic from another source in the same wifi (e.g. stratus, stratux etc.)?

Just tested the update against the trainer, first I got the position corretly but sending the route failed with the message "Disconnected". After restarting SD once it works correctly and I cannot reproduce that issue.

Another issue I had at least twice: When swtiching back from the IFD100 (or any other app) towards SD, position in SD could not be established with message showing "Device offline since 200 seconds". I assume SD was not yet completely suspended by iOS during background time, since the legal disclaimer was not shown during return. Also no route could be send. To solve the issue, I stopped the flying mode and started it again.

It is not Avidyne who is not accepting flightplans from 3rd party apps like Skydemon. It is the app developer who needs to implement this functionality to push/receive flightplans to/from Avidyne panel mounted IFD devices.

As Avidyne presented in their webinars, they are open to all 3rd app party developer (such as ForeFlight etc,) and for that reason provide required information to allow the implentation of this comfortable flightplan push/receive functionality.

Following youtube video shows how easy it is with ForeFlight:

Would be great if Skydemon would allow the same in future. If they won´t do so, we need to change to another app such as ForeFlight to use this comfortable flightplan transfer functionality of our new IFD device..

Hi folks,

With great support from Avidyne (Thanks to all the Steves   I could mangage to write an App on Android to push the SD Flightplan to the IFD:

I really enjoy doing flightplanning in SD and just hop in the plane, push the route and go flying. Can't wait to have it directly integrated in SD.

Actually there is. I tried also to make an iPad app, and spend several days to consume the flightplan. However on iPad if you export a route, only if the ios Mail Client is selected as sink, all route files are exported. If any other sink/app is choosen, only the .flightplan file is exported (maybe this is a bug?), which does not contain Names of the waypoints, which is not really sufficient for the IFD.

So my request would be: Export all files to all applications. (And also I like to have the function in SD integrated )

Meanwhile, anyone interested can send me a pm with the email address used a the google play store, and I can invite you to the closed tester.

@Tim: Please feel free to contact me if I can somehow support you on that topic.

Best regards

Marco
