Have Safesky premium and have configured Skydemon with GDL90
system. Tried to use it on my Samsung pad but all I got was
Waiting for Link.
Any ideas.
Do you have proceed a take off with safesky before ?
No. What else should I have done?
HOW TO install SafeSky with SkyDemon.
-
Go to the app store and install SafeSky (free).
-
Go to https://www.safesky.app/en/shop and buy SafeSky premium. With EasyVFR this is included in the subscription.
-
Start the SafeSky App, accept the disclaimer, with the bottom center button
-
Choose 3 dashes bottom right,
-Go to “my aircraft” and add the aircraft you fly in. Enter the callsign with or without a hyphen eg PH-ABC or PHABC. Turn on: “radio” and “Transponder”. Choose transponder type, usually “Mode-S”. safeSky retrieves the ICAO code for that aircraft’s transponder from the database. If you wouldn’t do that, you would see a plane flying next to you in SkyDemon all the time.
-Go to “air traffic sharing”, and turn on: “activate air traffic sharing”, choose “SkyDemon”. Turn on: “automatic software detection”. Turn off “Show SafeSky traffic”. Choose below: eg 40 NM range of traffic you want to see. -
Select the plane you are currently on.
-
Press “take off”.
-
You will now see a “radar display”. At the top right you can see a card symbol very faintly. press that and now you will see all the other planes in a map display.
-
When finished all the above, then start SkyDemon, go to settings (gear wheel top left), navigation options. Select: “Use internet in Flight” and “Show callsigns”
-
Go to settings (cog wheel top left), “Third-Party Devices” and choose “GDL Compatible Device” (SafeSky sends the info about other aircraft via the GDL 90 protocol to SkyDemon)
-
Click on “FLY” at the top right and now you will get a choice. Click on “Use GDL 90 Compatible”.
-
you see “waiting for devices” and that disappears after a few seconds.
-
Voila, you see your plane and all other traffic, including callsign and the height relative to your plane.
-
if you find it “too busy” now, go back to settings and turn off “Show callsigns”.
Thanks @Robert for this nice description…I will use it !!
