The PIC was my problem, but the plane I couldn't set as I didn't know it beforehand, didn't have another one of this type already and there was no network where we got to the plane. I would really appreciate to be able to change these pieces of information. What do others think? Two new flights for me yesterday and today, with another plane, but I forgot to change it. And so, I think it will be a good idea to have the ability of update these properties (plane, id)

Luckily I had onboard a backup one, so I was able to continue without problem turning it on.. Of course this generated two different logfiles entry (with few minutes of gap among them). So, at home, I merged the two logs and obtained a good track (except for the few minutes gap, but that's not a problem). The issue is that this flight track entry (obtained merging the two partial logs) is ignored by the new logbook selection of logs to be added to the logbook. Is this caused by a bug somewhere or a behavior by design? massimo Massimo Belloni

There's really no need to threaten to leave us for another product - if SkyDemon isn't a good fit for you, we'd much rather you used something that is.

If you restarted the app and entered flying mode again, a new log will have been generated (subject to available disk space etc). You offer paid service of some features. If they don't work properly - I have a right to complain. I was counting on a precise logging. It has failed. I restarted the app and entered flying mode. No new log appeared. Brand new Ipad with full or free memory. If manual adjustment of my log is too much for you then I assess your service as very low. Probably going for another product soon and that's what I will recommend to my community. Edited 11/22/2019 11:06:23 AM by Tim Dawson
