Each time I have to press fly button. In fly is fun I can set a minimum speed which indicates that I must be flying and it works great. I make commercial flights on powered hang glider and automatic logging on fly is fun is great. I use it mainly to check how many minutes i'm in the air - because people buy certain minutes of flight. But also important thing is engine usage. I bet that many of you forget to press fly and then you don't know exactly how many flight hours you have Second thing which is great on fly is fun and I would like it on SD. On one screen I have maps, flying time and ground speed - so I know if I land with the wind or across the wind. On SD to see flight time I have to switch to logs. It would be great if I could put flying time on main screen. It would be great if you could make this 2 features

If you like, you can also log engine start, by pressing the manual button for this. But first you have to be in navigation mode: SkyDemon has two modes, because it is also a flight-planning app. The amount of time you've been flying for is in the pilot log, which you can access by touching the position instrument at the top of the screen. You can also find it in the main menu.

I know it But it would be much easier if you could add logging when I reach speed limit. It's easy to forget to press fly button. And now logging has some delay because I have to be a couple of meters above the ground
