Hi guys,

i just encountered a problem, which is probably caused by myself. But i have no idea what i‘ve changed in my settings. However, in the past i used the funktion where the german DFS Approach Charts/Plates of the airfield popped up on the map, when i was near the destination airport. A great feature, which i really love, as i can check my current position and routings versus the moving aircraft icon on the DFS Chart. But since a while, the charts are not popping up anymore when i’m near the airfield.

Which settings need to be checked to enable SkyDemon to show the Charts again, when getting near the planned airfield?
I have not noticed, that i‘ve changed something in the settings. And the Add-on of the AIS-DFS is valid until 2020.

Thanks for your inputs......

Hi Tim,
thanks for your helping hands and tips!

My homebase is EDHS (Stade) and i flew a few times to EDWI (Wilhelmshaven) last month. I can surely say, that EDWI doesn‘t work, even in simulation mode, which i‘ve tried a few minutes ago. What confuses me is the fact, that the DFS charts do appear as expected in simulation mode, but not when actually flying. I‘ve checked a few airfields in simulation mode which didn‘t work during the last flights. Even EDHS did work in sim mode. I have to admit, that EDHS charts worked one or two times, but only on ground and departure. When approaching the airfield, the charts didn‘t come up. However, die SkyDemon pattern do appear perfectly, but from time to time, it does not zoom in either. The plane icon on the map is however exactly matching the current position of the aircraft. When zooming in manually, everything will be displayed as it should.

It appears to me, that this is an issue during active navigation mode. In Sim-mode, only EDWI is not popping up. On the other hand, my GPS position seem to be correct, as the plane icon does reflect the current position exactly. Also all other values (GS, Heading....) are correct, when comparing the values with the GNS430.
