Greetings all. I'm a PPL(A)/Night/IMC-R pilot based at Carlisle and Kirkbride in Cumbria, flying, mostly, Warriors and a kit-build Sportcruiser that I completed building earlier this year. Scotland is my main stomping ground though I do occasionally venture south, notably to Compton Abbas. I've arrived here because Rob Hart encouraged me to look at SkyDemon Plan, having for many years successfully used a well known competing product from Holland.



I must say that I like what I see with SkyDemon. On the basis that today's software should be able to be used without having to read the manual, that's what I've done and in the process I've created some routes, uploaded them to my venerable 296 and generally had a good play. It's tempting to make the switch!



One question though...



On the 296 I collect track data and typically there might be data from 20 or so flights, all separately itemised in the GPS flights log. When I download these to MemoryMap, they correctly appear as separate flights. Downloading into SkyDemon, the track data seems to be concatenated into a single "flight" and, of course, the resultant map display is essentially useless.



Is this a known bug and/or is there a solution in prospect? I can supply some.GDB files if it will help.



Finally... this software does seem to be a bit familiar. Looking back, I see that I downloaded SkyAngelPlan in around September 2009. Obviously at the time it didn't catch my imagination. Is that an earlier incarnation of SkyDemon?
