Unfortunately, I personally miss some important things. For example, at Friedrichshafen Airport (EDNY) there is no height information for the mandatory reporting points. Furthermore, the waiting round (holding pattern) is missing. The parking lot for general aviation was also located at MFD VFR etc. Due to the lack of such important features, the program is unfortunately not yet perfect. If Skydemon displayed the rounds etc. as in MFD VFR, many pilots would switch to this product. LG from Austria

I can find nothing in the source data to indicate they do. This is a screenshot from Jeppesen MFD, here the heights of the mandatory reporting points and the holding company are already shown on the map. Unfortunately I do not have the AIP from Germany. The last screenshot shows the taxiway with taxiways and so on Edited 4/14/2020 5:32:22 PM by screen

The card is from Dec 2019.I am sure that if Skydemon would directly integrate the maps like Jeppesen MFD (approach maps and detailed airport maps), more pilots would buy SD !!

You can get weather from lots of places these days. Edited 4/15/2020 6:36:44 PM by grahamb
