Hi,



New user of SkyDemon, from what I see so far I'm impressed.



However, I fly three Warrior 161s, and they're all very similar with (obviously) slight differences in W&B etc.



Was wondering if it was possible to either:



1. Allow me to 'Copy' an existing aircraft, and give it a new registration. That way I can set up 1 Warrior, then copy this to the other two.



2. Have some kind of aircraft 'database' (I know there is a forum for this, but was wondering if they templates could be integrated). That way I could just select a PA-28-161, give it a registration, then go about customising anything that's unique to the aircraft I fly?



Oh, and for '1' above, I realise that the aircraft definition is just an XML file, so I could copy it and edit the registration in a text editor. However, the average user probably isn't going to bother with this.



Cheers



Andy

Aircraft definitions are just files, and files can be copied by anybody who is computer literate enough to copy files. Upon next starting SkyDemon you'll then see two duplicate aircraft, and can modify one of them to your heart's content.

I agree that in a perfect world SkyDemon would sync all sorts of things to the cloud to be easily shared with friends. As it is, we expose aircraft settings as files so that people can share them if they like, and we have not yet devoted the resources to making SkyDemon run in the cloud. To be honest, you're the first person to ask.
