Ratings and reviews

Perfect for VFR flying around the swiss alps and it's difficult airspace structure... specially as student pilot useful for flight planning and execution.

Crashes every time I try to change flight time.

For the people moaning that you have to pay the developers money, it costs less than an hours flying per year. Secondly, if you are not a frequent user, the developers have extended my subscription past the annual renewal, which is cheaper than the initial purchase anyway. In short, Sky Demon is worth every penny of the purchase price, and the option is yours to go elsewhere if you can't afford it!

- Connectivity over RS232 via Bluetooth is now supported for sending frequencies to radios and course data to autopilots
- Final Reserve fuel introduced in aircraft properties as a new way of specifying fuel minimums
