Hello Ian,

It is unusual for you to get an Error 404 message on that page, it is working fine on my computer. Would you mind trying it again?
I was updating the website theme earlier today, it is possible that the open file command clashed with the update command at my end.
Kind Regards,

Ash

Seems to be working fine now. Guess it was just unfortunate timing.

Cheers

Ash,

Managed the download fine, but the 'download header' on my PC says 'PilotAware Operating Instructions for PilotAware Software Version (20161124)' which could be a bit confusing.

Peter

There is no mention of how to set up UDP for SkyDemon (or EasyVFR). For this location services must be enabled for SkyDemon. My iPhone was OK, but not the iPad. Had to force it to use the internal GPS, then I was promoted about location service set up to 'Always'. Once done I was able to set the connection to Pilot Aware. Could be an issue for those without an internal GPS?

Pete, I get 20170619

Ian.

Yes, the link goes to 20170619, and that's what appears, but then when I went to the top of the screen (Windows 10 laptop) to save it onto the hard drive up comes a banner calling it 20161124 - see attachment. Not a major issue - just makes the site look a bit unprofessional.

Peter

Hello Peter,
I hope you're well.
Thank you for bring it to my attention, I love a good challenge. I will look into it further, however I cant see any code on the website that would cause Google to show the date 20161124. Therefore I have come to the conclusion that the problem is a result of the .PDF I was given to upload onto the website. I will looking into it further when I get home and have access to a proper computer. I am currently working on a RPi3, I have patience but not that much.
Kind Regards,
Ashley.

Thanks Ash,

Probably a case of file properties migrating over from an 'updated' earlier version.

Hi Peter,
What is unusual for me is the fact that the Old operating instructions have the correct date on them. I will get to the bottom of it.
Kind Regards,
Ash.
