The point of the SkyDemon Cloud is that your routes etc are stored on our server so you can easily open them from any device, including PC and iPad. It is our own cloud, nobody elses.

Now that we managed to extract that piece of information out, Anthony...on to the cloudy business next. Obviously you san save almost anything to YOUR CLOUD. I have NO EXPERIENCE with SkyDemon Cloud or indeed if they offered such a service. Can you please direct me as to where on their WEB-SITE you came across SD Cloud ?

Thanks Runways.... I have the PC version (paid subscription etc) and it gives me the option to save to the cloud or open from the cloud...not my cloud, Skydemon's bit of cloud...but if I can only access it from the PC version there's not much point as I may as well just save it to my hard drive....

I'd rather call you by what you prefer to call yourself Mr Awqward, if you do not mind!

I just wanted to be the first to answer your query, only for the privilege of being able to say the above.

The answer is simply Yes. Just think of Cloud as your USB or external hard drive and you will be probably 99% correct. I am not sure if you are able to install several operating systems on cloud though. I am sure that Stevelup would be able to enlighten us more.

Call me thick, but I can't figure out how to start a new thread.....I have been looking (unsuccessfully) for info on the Cloud....anyway my question is: "is it possible to save a route onto the cloud from the PC version and access it from the web version somewhere else? If not I don't see the point of it....

Yes, I cannot but agree with this post 100%.

The fact that such a forum exists at all is a big plus for SD! I have trust in the company because they engage in a transparent and honest discussion with their (potential) customers. Very few companies do that. Another one would be MGL Avionics, that comes to mind.

Big praise, -- Chris.

I have been very critical of SD Team at one time or another. Also, I have always maintained that their forum provided an excellent venue for their customers and all those interested.

As a user you can not help but feel empowered to initiate threads as you desire and to place comments the way you wished. In effect one can participate authoritatively in the classification of various issues to be discussed as well as vent his/her frustrations endlessly, if they were that way inclined. Every member has virtually an infinite ability to edit their entries. The SD Team has obliged every time I asked them to edit or remove any one of my threads or entries when they became irrelevant or obsolete. The onus of organising the forum is thus as much a responsibility of the forum members as it is of the moderators.

In summary, I would congratulate the Sky Demon Team for keeping such a flexible forum meaningful while under control.

Updating the latest news on the SD homepage has been brought up in the past. It would naturally be desirable to highlight important adverse issues, such as those encountered in the latest SD update for iPAD, in the SD home page, to warn and advise users what to do to remedy them.

These occasional software issues are not exceptional to Sky Demon. They are universal problems encountered by all the big guns in the business such as Microsoft, Apple ...etc. It took Microsoft with its all firepower and global armada of software developers several years to correct some of the serious flaws that plagued Windows Vista before they ultimately released Windows 7.

There is, hence, something to be said for waiting a little longer and not jumping into an update as soon as it appeared. Once the outstanding issues are ironed out and the new bells and whistles are deemed to be all up and running, as judged by those in the community who are more experienced in software trouble-shooting, then, one could make the leap.

As said earlier, SD Team is doing an excellent job, their product is outstanding and they deserve our support. My subscription runs out end of 2014 (not 2013).

Hi I went flying on Saturday 27th October my sky demon 2.4.4 would not pick up any satellite at all .until now I have had no problems at all and used sky demon loads of times .can anyone help or should I just re install 2.4.2 from iTunes ?

Not sure where the problem lies here, but when I reply to posts on Ipad, the post button does not work. There are a few other little quirks on Ipad with viewing etc too.

Thank you for your feedback and input.

The problem with SkyDemon being unable to find satellites was detected on a Friday and fixed the following Tuesday. It has been fixed for a while. Perhaps we could have communicated better about it through more mediums; it was the first time we'd encountered something like that happening.

We have no plans to change the forum software used on this forum. That would be a lot of work for us, and almost certainly mean the valuable archive of threads to date would be lost.
