Ok...after being a long term skydemon user, I've finally gone and bought an iPad mini just so I can run skydemon on my knee and do my flight planning anywhere!

Things are a little different between ipad and pc but two things are really bugging me.

First one is despite putting in my home airfield in the planning options, why does it keep showing 'truleigh hill' airfield as my route starting point when I do 'route' and 'create a route' from the top menu?

Second, on TAF and METAR tabs is there any way of turning off the decoded view and have it default to the much quicker to read and understand (for me) Raw view? I just can't get on with decoded view..

I'm loving the iPad version!

Thanks nje, I can certainly see how the "Home" airfield set in the planning allows me to push the home button and takes me to my airfield. It does that both on Skydemon for PC and on the iPad Mini.

I acknowledge that the home airfield setting in preferences doesn't do anything more than allowing the map to be centered on the Home Airfield.


But:
What I still can not understand is why the function differs between PC and iPad. Take this for example:

With my home airfield set as EGKL in both cases (possibly irrelevant but I mention it anywayWink):

PC: "Route", "New", it automatically populates the last route start airfield. (EGKL in my case) so I dont have to type it in again.
iPad: "Route", "Create a Route" and up comes TRULEIGH FARM in the From field.

What have I ever done to deserve being blighted by TRULEIGH ****** FARM on my iPad Smile

TIM help!

I see what you mean, mine comes up with Ashcroft, and I'm based at Sleap. If you have a lot of your regular routes on your PC why not transfer them accross to your ipad, it might save you a bit of time in the future
