Hi Tim,

Please find enclosed a couple of screenshots of contacts that have shown up on my 10" inch iPad running SD after being detected by my aircraft's PF Core. I'm not sure that they show fine detail but you can probably see that the Flarm contact (a glider) has almost totally illegible distance and height info due to the font size. Similarly, the transponder equipped contact is shown by white ring (I.e it was non- threatening) but agin, the distance info is just too small to be read. If it wasn't for the optional audio licence I have with my PF Core, I probably wouldn't have noticed the Flarm contact.

Is there any way the font size can be made bigger please? If you would like the pics to be sent to you via email, please let me know. Thanks.

Paul

Please send us screenshots by email (support at skydemon.aero) so we can accurately judge the actual physical size of the text you have seen.

The new Air Connect uses protected WiFi and therefore no PIN in the app is required any more. However I am afraid the app needs a random key, e.g. "0000" or any other key. Then it should work.

I've noticed that SD tries to connect to different IPs and ports depending on the PIN... e.g.:
  • 0000: 192.168.0.14:100
  • 4500: 169.254.1.1:2000
  • 5000: 1.2.3.4:2000
  • 5500: 192.168.1.1:2000
sample netstat output:

Must be to address different HW releases... according to Skee's manual snippet...

See integration manual, there seems to be a indeed connection between HW release and PIN:

I'm using PowerFLARM since more tha a year and whould never fly without it again.
But unfortunately it works not perfect with SD. There are diconnections from time t time and
the team from SD is not willing to do anything against it.


So I think i have to go back to my previous flight navigation software.
I like SD but not without my FLARM.

Seems to me that neither Power Flarm nor Sky Demon is the problem but your Air Connect, which occasionally sends out spurious signals and is, therefore, rejected by SD during its checks that the data is valid. Why should Tim have to deal with 'garbage in' when other connections don't have the same problem?
