I have the wind enroute set to Auto, but every time I plan a route in the UK (yes whilst having an Internet connection) the Plog is not loading and calculating the Weather. The weather tab reports, "Wind forecasts are not available for your journey, so zero wind has been assumed." and this is despite seeing current TAFs and METARs enroute in SkyDemon! I also deleted and re-installed SkyDemon, but still the same issue; no wind in Plog for the planned route despite TAFs and METARs being available. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Check the date and time of the flight you are planning. It will only use forecast data for a time about 30 hours or so beyond the current time, outside that horizon it will assume zero wind. Yeah i set it to today but still the weather doesn't pull through into the route planning mode. Still saying no forecasts despite current TAFs and METARs being visible in SkyDemon for the route. Zero wind still.assumed?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 6, Visits: 21	Dear SkyDemon Team thanks for the instruction. That´s what I have been looking for .... BUT the same problem as Junior Member also wrote before this is not working SkyDemon for Android 3.0.3.19499 crashes immediately touching the Individual Legs or All Legs input field (even with the example 270/16) Now I know how to do, but now I have the crash Dear SkyDemon Team any ideas for the reason? regards Johann

Group: Forum Members Posts: 6, Visits: 21	Thanks for you idea but none of them will work (may bee) 1. ... you could just set your device in the offline mode. If there was a calculation done online, afterward you switch to offline mode, the calculation with wind will stay, there is no way back 2. ...an you not just turn wind off in mapping at the top ? Tell me more exact please. 3. The planing without wind is a good thing --> even Skydemon has the same opinion than me. Proof of authententicity? Go to Sky Demon Plan--> Print center --> Pilot Log --> setting --> Perform wind calculations yes / no perfect. So the question is, why do I not found this this good function in the SkyDemon for Android ? Any ideas? Regards Johann
