Like every year DFS is doing there great spring airspace makeover. During that process the FIS sectors within Germany changed once again and now I do have a new fix for SkyDemon ready to these changes, too. You can download it on Flight Information Service (FIS) Sector Fix for Germany.
Let me know if you like to see these fixes for more European countries!
Fix to show FIS sectors on the map again. Only includes Germany.

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.
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!
CustomData folder matching the nameGermany_FIS_Fix_DDMMMYYYY.airspace in order to prevent previousC:\Users\< username >\Documents\SkyDemon\CustomData. On Android you will find it under < Internal storage >/SkyDemon/CustomData.CustomData folder and make sure not to produce any subfolders!README.md (you can delete this one afterwards)LICENSE.mdGermany_FIS_Fix_DDMMMYYYY.airspaceGermany_FIS_Fix.png (you can delete this one afterwards)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.
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 Celle-Arloh airfield (EDVC) where the sector boundary should cross west to east right above the airfield and intersect another boundary at Berliner Heide gliderside about 10nm to the east. 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.
Discovering Eagle did not and does not invent the data provided. See section Data Source above to learn were the provided data came from. We do rework the raw data from our sources and put them into the SkyDemon format.

All data provided come with an effective date of the data of the providing entity. Since Discovering Eagle is essentially a one-man-show, I won’t post a cycle end date nor do I guarantee to update my files when the providing entity does.
