Dear all,

Since recently, I cannot connect my I-Pad IFD100 to the IFD440 anymore. I am running iPadOS 16.4.1.

I am running Skydemon on the same I-Pad and the WIFI connection is working. In the Utility menu, The I-Pad IP address is visible and connection is on "always" (If not, skydemon connection would not work).

The databases on both side are at the same version.

This failure is very annoying...

Any idea for trouble shooting?

Best regards,

Dominique

It seems that I am not the only one experiencing this problem. Luckily, I can use Skydemon to upload my flight plans...

I feel a bit disappointed by the lack of support.

While AviSteve is often quite responsive to queries and requests for help, this forum is not an official support service for Avidyne.

Have you tried submitting a ticket online or calling the tech support phone number? Info on both options are available here: https://www.avidyne.com/support/" rel="nofollow - https://www.avidyne.com/support/

Hello Dominique,

I can confirm that IFD100 and Skydemon are not compatible.

If Skydemon is running on the iPad and you start the IFD100 app, it cannot connect to the IFD device.

Conversely, if IFD100 is running and you start Skydemon, it cannot connect to the IFD and you get at least one error message.

Foreflight and IFD100 at the same time have no problems.

Skydemon is a very popular and widely used app here in Europe, at least VFR it should be the market leader.

Greetings from Kölle
