Just a thought.... There are airstrips that don't show on the charts that I'd like to add.  May I suggest that a green circle be a symbol option on the waypoints menu and the name default to the same green when entered.

Well, you live & learn.

Thanks Tim

Tim,



I successfully created an airfield some months ago at Knettishall (shown on half mil chart as five nm NE of RAF Honnington) but it did not synchronise to my Mobile SD. I worked around this by cutting and pasting the file directly on to the mobile device and now it works fine. Is there a simpler way of doing this?



Also, the runway dimensions (the actual characters) are shown inverted on my plate. How can I correct this?

Is there any way to modify/update existing airfields?

Also having problems setting up new airfields, pasting location from Google (decimal), can anyone confirm how this should be entered in custom data (N53.836728 -0.997653) ? Thanks

Custom data, including airfields, isn't synced automatically to a device. We leave this to users who are creating such data to do themselves.

You can't change the airfields that are part of the standard SkyDemon charts; if you have extra information or corrections to give us please get in touch by email.

I've managed to create custom airfields onto my netbook which I use for planning. How do I sync them onto my GPS thingumy ?

I second the suggestion for an ipad forum section.

Re Airfields - I would like to be able to add airfields (I have a database of over 700 airfields/farm strips in the UK - many of which are not depicted in Skydemon) and perhaps to add information to existing airfield data. With the latest version of SD for ipad I could add these as waypoints but am I likely to lose all these on the next version amendment?

In addition I have found that some airfield data is missing from the SD charts - ie Strubby (N Lincs) no radio frequency (I had to revert to a paper CAA chart to find it)

Airfields are added as custom data and I have just checked my charts after doing the update. The custom data is not lost when updating.

I'd be interested to have a custom data sharing type facility on the forum. Just need to agree formats.
