I've just spent ten minutes checking what we have against AIP Germany ENR 2.1 and everything seems to be correct. No 1: Airspace C FL 65 to FL 100 No 2: Airspace C FL 65 to FL 100 No 2: Airspace C 4.500 to FL 100 Best regards Johannes

But the airspaces C that are active at the weekend are still displayed in the area of cologne. But these airspaces no longer exist since 28th of march. Looking forward to see you on the AERO in Friedrichshafen Best regards Johannes

In all cases, all you have to do is long-press anywhere on the map to see the FIS frequency at that point. When you inspect that, the outline of its area will show briefly too.

e Group: Forum Members Posts: 69, Visits: 5	Hi Tim,in the virtual radar i also don’t see the FIS FREQUENCIES any more! Neither on my iphon6 nor on my Samsung Tabs 2, even when zooming in. and it was definitly shown a while ago. On German ICAO maps the FIR boundaries are shown (green dashed lines) and I always missed them in SD. I also see no real reason why you don’t show them as an additional layer to be toggelable in the layer menu option. Edited 4/2/2019 1:10:03 PM by emporer

After some inspection hopefully it'll be the new FIS data. We will incorporate this data today and issue a new chart update, if so, but you won't get those green lines. However, frequencies will be shown in the PLOG and in virtual radar as they always have been.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 17, Visits: 16	Until recently SD shown a line on the map (I think green dashed) and provided a label in the virtual radar like "Bremen Information 119.825" with is definitely FIS! Also this information disappeared from the frequency section of the PLOG. I could count up at least 5 SD customers from our club who asked me about this and would like to have this feature back. Unlike you seem to do it in the UK, FIS does provide radar based traffic and airspace information to VFR pilots. Thus, knowing the exact frequencies and assigned areas is vital for us. So no matter how you call this feature, bring it back, please! If you did not get any data with the latest AIRAC this could be because of a delay in publishing them from DFS. The change of all sectors became effective MAR 28 the same date the new 2019 VFR paper charts became effective. No NOTAM or other "official" information has been released to us pilots before. We only received a good-bye letter from the Bremen FIS controllers since their positions where moved to Langen. If I can do anything to help you getting the necessary data, let me know! Florian

Group: Forum Members Posts: 8K, Visits: 9.1K	SkyDemon has never shown FIS sector boundaries. The FIRs in Germany have not changed. Perhaps there is a terminology misunderstanding here? We have contacted DFS in case the FIS sectors have changed but that this was not properly communicated in the AIRAC amendments disseminated in the normal fashion.
