If you're sitting at your departure airfield, you should see frequencies for that airfield. Are you not seeing that?


Tim

that´s it. Departure airport & arrival airport frequencies are missing in the LIVE PLOG & RADIO Screen or only the tower frequency is available where Ground/Approach... should be there. I wonder, because in the PLOG everything is present. The second example I experienced this summer with a previous SD version & the Radio Screen, so I assume it´s a longer lasting issue though.

Example:
Trip EDTG - EDTR direct overflying Müllheim gliderfield changing FIS from Langen to Zürich - PLOG shows everything. (Frequencies for EDTG Info/Müllheim Radio/FIS Langen/FIS Zürich/EDTR Info)
GA Parking EDTG - EDTG Info frequency is Missing
Approaching EDTR - EDTR Info frequency is MISSING (should be there, at least 5 min prior approaching)

Example:
Trip LPCS - LPBG with LPVR as alternate
PLOG shows Cascais Ground/Tower/Lissbon Approach/LPBG Info/LPVR Info Alternate Freq.
GA Parking LPCS - RADIO screen only shows Cascais Tower
Approaching LPBG - No RADIO information about LPBG Info frequency whatsoever (Alternate LPVR is missing too)

Thanks for pointing out the screen timeout issue; fixed.
Regarding frequencies, the live PLOG will show the same as the Radio screen. That is, it shows frequencies relevant to what you are doing right now: the airspace you are in, radio services you can reach, and nearby airfields. If you're sitting at your departure airfield, you should see frequencies for that airfield. Are you not seeing that?

excellent work !

- No print buttons on my Asus HD7 running on Android 4.2.2
- Printing in PLOG/LIVE PLOG/W&B works fine on Android 4.4.2

- Unfortunately the screen timeout is kicking in during LIVE PLOG usage, so after 2min I get a dark screen.

I experienced a difference between the information I got from the "static" PLOG and the information from the LIVE PLOG, though. Sometimes there is huge difference, starting with missing (ground) frequencies or even no frequencies of the departure airport at all - no frequencies of the adjacent airspaces depicted in the static PLOG. No frequencies of the arrival & alternate airport either. To clarify I can explain on a flight I did this summer, if you like.

Today's beta further enhances the PLOG work (live and regular) we've been doing, with minor tweaks.

Printing is now fully supported in Android, just like in our iOS product.

Printed output from Weight and Balance has been improved (across all our products) to incorporate the acceptable loading envelope graph.

It's important to note that to support printing, we've had to use the Android Printing API which is only available in Android 4.4 and higher. If your device has a lower version, you should not see the Print button but SkyDemon should still work just fine. Please confirm here for us, as we don't have any Android devices running less than 4.4 in the office.

Thanks!
