Yesterday, i was at Mannheim airfield (EDFM) and tried to open the aerodrome Chart. Nothing happened. No message, also (iPad Version)
I have purchased the DFS package option.

Back at home, the Chart in question opened without Problems.
I guess, the Chart was not downloaded and therefore was not available without Internet Connection.

I would like to see a marking whether a Chart is offline available and also some markings if an AiP is fully or partially downloaded.
Of course, i can tell Skydemon to download the whole AiP, but what if i missed that.

Hi,

A‌s you discovered, it is unfortunately very easy to fly Skydemon with outdated or missing information. The only way to really avoid this is to download all content MANUALLY before any flight. There is no way to automate it, or receive a notification to remind‌ this action. It's true for route-related plates but also if you want an entire AIP-related content to be current all time.

Compare to the competition this is, by very far, the most frustrating aspect of SD.
