I would def be interested in this function. I can only imagine that others would also subscribe to your fab software if you could set an OBS function and alarms ie dme to an airfield.. this would be very very useful for parachute flying.. appreciate you guys are busy. would it be a lot of work?

I count perhaps eight people supporting the addition of this feature on this thread in over 2.5 years. Couple that with the fact we haven't received any direct demand for the feature (email, phone etc) and I'm afraid that simply isn't very compelling. We do not attempt to be all things to all people.

tmmorris was the original poster of this thread too. Can you find someone who isn't tmmorris

I also think that the posibility to set the OBS to any value is very useful, even in VFR.
I used that a lot in the past (!), with FLIGHTMASTER witch was a great software for PALM OS.

But it is true that today, with the beautiful moving maps we have, interest is lower ....

Have good flights ...

Could you point to one of those posts, please?

You can create relative waypoints in SkyDemon, so you could create a waypoint on a radial from any other waypoint, and then plan a route along that radial. The HSI instrument (in fact all instruments) would then guide your flight along that leg following the radial.

I would like to see this feature too. Is there somehow we could campaign for it?

Found this thread while searching to see if it was already available and I just didnt know how to use it.

I would find this feature very useful.

Actually a very nice idea. My motto is: Good for IFR=Good for VFR.

I was taught to use Obs hold for creating a run in line to a DZ waypoint when para dropping. Makes life really easy and a "must have" for me even though a VFR activity. Good tip re the NDB too! Otherwise Skydemon looks really good for my impending GPS replacement; I already use the "light" version for UK VFR planning.
