Unfortunately, there is not. We ask iOS to render the PDF, and either that succeeds, or SkyDemon is terminated without warning, it would appear. Your crash report or low memory situation report should confirm.

Anyway: you have to really zoom in a lot and move/twist the embedded map a lot and quickly - then it crashes. So far, it is not a showstopper, but not nice. Markus

Group: Forum Members Posts: 47, Visits: 146	Hi Eric, thanks for the info. I'll try a reinstall later, when I have time. (After that, I need to re-download a lot of plates...) Anyway: I'd like to find some kind of useful crash report or a like - but I am not into the apple world enough to know, how to retrieve that... Regards, Markus

Just tried it with the Egelsbach VOC, but couldn't get the iPad to crash while heavily panning and zooming for some minutes. Perhaps a new installation will solve your problem. Best regards Eric

Group: Forum Members Posts: 47, Visits: 146	Hi, I just started using SkyDemon for iPad, version 3.0.6. My iPad is a brand new iPad Air 64 GB LTE. I have purchased the Germand DFS VFR approach plates as add-on. Now, when I show an approach plate like Egelsbach's Visual Operation Chart and zoom in a lot and then move the map around, at some point SD will just close. It sounds like an out of memory exception I read here in the forums earlier; but I don't know how to confirm. Even worse: Although it is a unreasonable zoom level, SD should never just crash, but rather prevent such upcoming out of memory exceptions... If you need further information to fix/improve, let me know. Regards, Markus Tags iPad Crash Plate
