Category Archives: Software I use

Nowadays, flight planning has become more and more difficult. Let me show you which kind of software I use. Also let me present software I created myself.

Gliding_Sector

German Glider Sectors

SkyDemon Addon to display Glider Activity Sectors within Germany.

Data Source

All data was sourced from http://www.openaip.net/system/files/airspaces/openaip_airspace_germany_de.aip_1605492096 effective 16NOV2020. (Login required)

Requirements

To be able to uses the files provided by Discovering Eagle you need to have a
working installation of SkyDemon on Android, iOS or Windows PC and a valid
subscription.

We develop our files with the newest version of SkyDemon at that given time. Even though SkyDemon claims backwards compatibility for custom data, we can’t
guarantee it.

Cost

Everything on this website is free! Nevertheless I would appreciate if you donate a little via the support page. I do put a lot of work in these downloads and with every donation you help me coming closer to the ultimate goal: Flying around Africa!

Installing

Due to the sandboxing of apss within iOS, at least to our knowledge, it is not
possible to access SkyDemon’s data directory directly on Apple devices. In that
case a workaround might be to follow the PC installation guide and afterwads
sync your PC with you iOS device. More on that below…

  1. Remove all files from your SkyDemon’s CustomData folder matching the name
    pattern Germany_Gliding_DDMMMYYYY.airspace in order to prevent previous
    versions to be shown.
    On Windows computers you will usually find this at C:Users< username >Documents/SkyDemon/CustomData. On Android you will find it under < Internal storage >/SkyDemon/CustomData.
  2. Unzip the contents of the downloaded archive to your SkyDemon’s CustomData folder and make sure not to produce any subfolders!
  3. After unzipping you should find the following files:
    • README.md (you can delete this one afterwards)
    • LICENSE.md
    • Germany_FIS_Fix_DDMMMYYYY.airspace
    • Germany_FIS_Fix.png (you can delete this one afterwards)
  4. Now startup SkyDemon. If it has been running close and restart it.
  5. On a Windows PC go to the main menu and turn on Mapping > Airspace > Other. On a mobile device tap the chart layer icon (three panes stacked on top of each other) in the bottom right of the map window and turn on Airspace > Misc.

Now you should see multiple airspaces with a dark blue dashed border have appeared. If you utilize the “Whats here” menu you can check the frequency, too.

If you own several devices or at least one iOS device and you’ve followed the
PC installation so far, you can know sync the custom data on all of you devices
origination from your PC. Do to that, select “Setup” from SkyDemon’s top menu
and thereafter select “Custom Data” > “Save to Cloud”. After confirming the
action, know all the custom data will be stored inside SkyDemon’s clound along
with your flightplans and settings.

Now on your mobile device open SkyDemon and go to the “Setup” menu (gear icon)
and select “Cloud” > “Load Custom Data from Cloud”. ATTENTION: All custom data
files that were stored on this device will be overridden with the files from
your PC/cloud!

It didn’t work

Make sure, Other / Misc airspaces are turned on as described above. Zoom in closer to prevent the sector boundaries been hidden by SkyDemons automatic decluttering feature.

You can check your settings while zooming in to Ballenstedt (EDOI) where there is a glider mountainwave sector north of Harz. See the included screenshot for reference.

If you still do not get any sectors, check if you extracted the archive into your SkyDemon’s CustomData folder without any subfolder. Make sure, you did not change any filename. If you need to correct something here, restart SkyDemon afterwards.

SkyDemon Paragliding Airfield Extension

Paragliding Airfields Extension for Germany

Extension to show paragliding and hanggliding airfields on the map in SkyDemon. Only includes Germany.

Data Source

All data was sourced from DHV (Deutscher Gleitschirm- und Drachenflugverband e.V.) effective
21FEB2020.
https://www.dhv.de/piloteninfos/gelaende-luftraum-natur/fluggelaendeflugbetrieb/gelaendedaten/gelaendedaten-download

Requirements

To be able to uses the files provided by Discovering Eagle you need to have a
working installation of SkyDemon on Android, iOS or Windows PC and a valid
subscription.

We develop our files with the newest version of SkyDemon at that given time. Even though SkyDemon claims backwards compatibility for custom data, we can’t
guarantee it.

All development and testing including creation of the screenshots included in the archive are done with the default “SkyDemon 3” chart style. We do not check nor do we guarantee that the projected features are displayed correctly with the use of other chart styles.

Cost

Everything on this website is free! Nevertheless I would appreciate if you donate a little via the support page. I do put a lot of work in these downloads and with every donation you help me coming closer to the ultimate goal: Flying around Africa!

Installing

NOTE: At this point, iOS does not allow direct operations on the file system. So the only way to get the data into an Apple device seems to be the import in SkyDemon on a device running either on Android or Windows and then using the SkyDemon cloud to share the data with the Apple device. But be careful, there seems to be a size limit to the SkyDemon cloud!

  1. Unzip the contents of the downloaded archive to your SkyDemon’s CustomData folder. On Windows computers you will usually find this at C:Users< username >DocumentsSkyDemonCustomData. On Android you will find it under < Internal storage >/SkyDemon/CustomData.
  2. After unzipping you should find the following files:
    • README.md (you can delete this one afterwards)
    • LICENSE.md
    • paragliding_de_DDMMMYYYY.airspace
    • paragliding.png (you can delete this one afterwards)
  3. Now startup SkyDemon. If it has been running close and restart it.
  4. On a Windows PC go to the main menu and turn on Mapping > Airspace > Show Sporting Sites. On a mobile device tap the chart layer icon (three panes stacked on top of each other) in the bottom right of the map window and turn on Airspace > Sporting Activity.

Now you should see that multiple dark blue hang-glider symbols have appeared on the map. If you utilize the “Whats here” menu you can check the upper level or contact details, too.

It didn’t work

Make sure, Other / Misc airspaces are turned on as described above. Zoom in closer to prevent the sector boundaries been hidden by SkyDemons automatic decluttering feature. You can check your settings while zooming in to Weser-Wuemme (EDWM) and check about 8nm to the east where you should find three paragliding airfields. See the included screenshot for reference.

If you still do not get any airfields, check if you extracted the archive into your SkyDemon’s CustomData folder without any subfolder. Make sure, you did not change any filename. If you need to correct something here, restart SkyDemon afterwards.

All data was sourced from http://soaringweb.org/TP/Chilhowee_racing effective
08APR2011.

Requirements

To be able to uses the files provided by Discovering Eagle you need to have a
working installation of SkyDemon on Android, iOS or Windows PC and a valid
subscription.

We develop our files with the newest version of SkyDemon at that given time.
Even though SkyDemon claims backwards compatibility for cutom data, we can’t
garantee it.

Cost

Everything on this website is free! Nevertheless I would appreciate if you donate a little via the support page. I do put a lot of work in these downloads and with every donation you help me coming closer to the ultimate goal: Flying around Africa!

Installing

  1. Unzip the contents of the downloaded archive to your SkyDemon’s CustomData folder. On Windows computers you will usually find this at C:Users< username >DocumentsSkyDemonCustomData. On Android you will find it under < Internal storage >/SkyDemon/CustomData.
  2. After unzipping you should find the following files:
    • README.md (you can delete this one afterwards)
    • LICENSE.md
    • Chilhowee92aGliderTurnpoints_DDMMMYYYY.vrps.csv
    • Chilhowee92aGliderTurnpoints.png (you can delete this one afterwards)
  3. Now startup SkyDemon. If it has been running close and restart it.
  4. Turn on Mapping > Waypoints > Show Glider Waypoints and navigate to Chilhowee Gliderport (92A).

You should see multiple waypoints with a blue dot icon have appeared.

It didn’t work

Make sure, Glider Waypoints are turned on as described above. Zoom in closer to
prevent the waypoints been hidden by SkyDemons automatic decluttering feature.
You can check your settings while zooming in to Chilhowee Gliderport (92A) and
compare to the screenshot included in the archive.

If you still do not get any waypoints, check if you extracted the archive into
your SkyDemons CustomData folder without any subfolder. Make sure, you did not
change any filename. If you need to correct something here, restart SkyDemon
afterwarts.
