This is probably a known problem whereby the simulator sends nonsense data, which crashes the current public version of SkyDemon. The forthcoming update detects and ignores the specific nonsense data, so it would probably be worth waiting for that.

Hi all,

X-Plane connectivity was introduced in SkyDemon 3.0.4.

Hi Tim

We've seen a few crash logs from people trying to do this, which indicate that your simulator is sending out a garbage GPS location. We've added protection against this for future versions so it will not crash in future, but perhaps ensure that your simulator is sending out a sensible position within a SkyDemon-charted country?

Hi Ian can you tell me are you using ipad 1 has the new version of SD needs operating system 6 which is not available on ipad 1 and if so where is the connection info within SkyDemon on ipad

Hi,
I have the trial for skydemon 3.0.5 on the ipad and downloaded the free FlightSimGPS.
After starting FS2004 I start the skydemon on the ipad and set in the connectivity setting
the X-plane and skydemon waits for the location data.
Then I start the GPS program and it connects to FS2004 but the same time skydemon crashes
and closes down.

Skydemon for iPad and Prepar3D or FSX works fine with http://www.redbirdflightsimulations.com/cygnus/

Many thanks for that link to flightsimgps.

The X-plane Skydemon connection is now working with FSX on my Nexus 7

OK, better still I've found a free way to connect the iPad, FSX and Skydemon together. http://www.flightsimgps.com/ does the same thing as FSXFlight, but it's gratis.
