I'm a paid-up member of the Sky Demon fan club, and I never fly without SD on my yoke. However, I do sometimes find myself glancing enviously over the water at the iPad apps available for US pilots, like Foreflight, WingX and now Bendix King's My Wingman with amazing functionality like Synthetic Vision, IFR support and Bluetooth connectivity to solid state giros feeding a proper artificial horizon. What a reassuring backup to my vacuum gauges! Too much to hope that some of these things might find their way into SD? Oh, and an easier one: any chance of user-configurable simple checklist function?

The US market is very different to the European market.
Synthetic vision is a bit of a gimmick (in our opinion), airways support increases with every version, and I'm not sure about displaying an artificial horizon as SkyDemon is a navigation aid, not designed to be a replacement for a gyro instrument.
