Hello everybody,

Hello everybody,

I'm a new pilot and recent Skydemon user. So I discover the Skydemon and I must admit that it is currently quite confusing for me (in comparison to the way I was taught to prepare a NAV LOG).
I have a question : Is it possible to customize data in the PLOG ?
For example, I'm very surprised with RNav data. It seems I can't choose the VOR and I can't understand VOR choice made by SD. 
SD choose very far VOR instead of nearest. So I'd appreciate to be able to customize this PLOG field.
Same concern with additional points on route. If I append a point on the route (not on a city, airport, VOR...), it appears with its coordinates in the PLOG. It is not very readable. I'd would appreciate to customize these additional points with a clear understandable name.
Is it possible to customize these fields in PLOG ? If it is possible, how should I proceed because I did not find how to do it.

Thanks for your help

Frederic

When dragging the points on the map, you can 'stick' them to a city / town. If there's nothing on the map, you can create your own navpoint. For these points, the plog shows those points.

In the plog view, you can go to settings (at least on pc, but there's also a way to do it on mobile), and you can turn off the rnav column. I have no idea if there's a way to choose other VORs. I did learn from the (excellent) user manual, that you can create a 'relative bearing' navpoint (e.g. SUL VOR radial 045 10 miles), and then use that in your routing. Maybe that helps.
