N Group: Forum Members Posts: 3, Visits: 4	Hello dear pilots! I am a pilot which just finished my PPL and i am continuing my journey to build PIC hours and later CPL. Now i have a lot of cross-country flights to be done and i wanted a program that could make my flight planning easier and faster, and SkyDemon seemed as the best option. However there are some things i don't know how to find out. I make most flight plans 1 daye before my flight. When i finished my flightplan, how can i make SkyDemon calculate winds/wind correction for the next day? As it seems now, it calculates for the winds in real time, but i want it to calculate winds for the future, for example the next day? How do i do that? Thanks in advance. Best Regards Newpilot

Best Regards Newpilot SD will use the forecast winds for the date/time you set in the Flight Details up to about 24 hours ahead. Alternatively you can set the wind conditions yourself (using a forecast from somewhere else) for a flight either overall or for individual legs using the ‘Set wind conditions for flight’ option on the Weather menu.
