Having used the WINCE and iPad version in flight I have to say that the software is outstanding and provides a level of reassurance which could lead to a reliance solely on SD rather than the formal training; maps and position fixing recommended by the CAA training programme. After all GPS based navigation is not to be the primary source of navigation, or so they say!

Although the iPad version of SD is far superior to the WINCE setup it will truly come of age when it also has the INSTRUMENT VIEW currently only available on the PC/WINCE platform.

Finally, it made me laugh the other day when I was approaching Lydd and the only GPS unit that still had satellite coverage wasn't the £8000 GARMIN unit; with twiddley knobs to do everything with mounted in the flight panel; but the yoke mounted "touch me" iPad trundling along doing what is does best NAVIGATING IN 3D and presenting that data in an idiot proof graphical form which is quick and easy to digest.

Verdict -- I like it. Come on give us the INSTRUMENT VIEW for the iPad

The HSI will appear in the iPad version in due course.

Can I add my voice and request adding the Same WinCE instrument panel, including the virtual ILS to the iPAD version. The iPAD screen does a better job than all other WinCE devices I came across.

The HSI/ILS has been added in the next version of SkyDemon for iPad. You can simply "pull out" the DI and it transforms into the HSI/ILS which can be moved around the screen and resized.

I would like to be the first to thank you, Tim Dawson & Co, for this milestone addition & for being an Ace Team. Also would like to congratulate SkyDemon users, especially those who started and contributed to this thread.

Can I enquire if the new version for iPAD is automatically downloadable upon logging in? Any ETA of the said version yet. Thanks.

It'll probably be available in a couple of weeks.

Many thanks and looking forward.

Wow! My iPad SD updated last night and now has the "pull-out" HSI...

SD is Te best thing since sliced bread!

I've also updated and restarted my iPad, but I can see no additional tabs - should there be another alongside the Tafs, etc? How do I check what version I'm running?
