Since several Skyview revisions we finally got the much discussed (sometimes vilified) feature to treat every waypoint like a VOR: with an OBS-like possibility to dial in a radial and course deviation presented in HSI fashion. Thank you Dynon! Call me ungrateful, but since then I sit with wet...

After downloading new Skyview SW we experience regular panel failures of the type shown in the attached image: the display washes out and becomes unresponsive. We run 2 Skyview D1000 with SW 14_1_0_3674 and both panels are below the famous "serial 6000" limit. We sent several mails with...

It is simpler than you think: There was an error message coming up ("EMS not connected ...") with no choice (no button labeled). So we did what the error message mandated: looking for the  EMS connection, disconnecting and reconnecting cables, and so on But all was ok. In reality we should...

thanks for your reply. Of course I put the USB on the right side, too, I know that the update cannot be done through the network. But the right side refused, stating it cannot connect to the EMS (which the left side finds). I sent diagnostic files and screenshots documenting the issue through...

I updated my left Skyview from vers. 12 to vers 13. Network status on left side says, all devices ok, except right panel is still vers. 12. Fine. But the right Skyview system refuses the update, stating, it cannot find the EMS (which the left side reports as ok). Rebooting does not help. -...

That's exactly what I (and probably many others) need, thank you. Impatient to get it...

aerofurb, ignore my direct style, just concentrate on the facts, which I think I described clearly: When you arrive at an airport, and the HSI would be most useful, you cannot use it anymore, contrary to a normal HSI. Perhaps Dynon should not call their device HSI, but "flight plan deviation...

I love the "look at the map" type of responses when I point out the shortcomings of Skyview navigation. They are only surpassed by "look out the window". I am waiting for the advice "stay down on the ground" ...  :) Seriously, Carl, please understand, en route I can look at the map: first there...

Among the many basic navigation situations Skyview cannot cope with, there is a particularly annoying one: Say, your flight plan ends at an airport with 2 crossing runways. Normally, some 10 miles out, the controller tells you which of the 4 finals to use and, more often than not, clears you to...

1) Less steps to import flight plans It is Dynon philosophy that HSI radials cannot be dialed with an OBS button - as would have been expected - but must be "dialed" importing a flight plan. Fortunately this process, although handicapped by the fact that Skyview cannot store more than one...

I agree. But why generate tags providing attributes that are (considered by Dynon) default ? This makes no sense. Omitting them would not change the semantics and would make Dynon's .gpx importable. Huh? Not sure. During decades I flew tons of IFR legs without toggling any "overfly". 8-)

Reason: non standard tag    <overfly>false</overfly>    When these tags are deleted (for every route point), Skyview routes can be processed/modified by Garmin's MAPSOURCE software Suggestion:    Skyview should not generate this tag when exporting routes in .gpx format, since - it seems to...

our navigation/mapping is among the best ... Please, please Mr. Schofield: The last time I flew with a GPS with a "flat basemap" (no "cultural data", only user waypoints) was some 20 years ago, since then even the cheapest handheld from the "smallest boys" showed at least some roads, cities...

It's even worse than that, Paul. I confess - only if you promise not to tell anybody on this forum - that initially I was even expecting a 3° glide indication included in the HSI. Nothing simpler for a GPS than a tangent calculation based on the current distance. Now I am really ashamed of...

Thank you for your clear response and the comment of dlloyd, I already doubted my faculty to understand the Skyview paradigm. I think the point is closed, just let me add 2 clarifications: 1) I cannot see why a GPS emulated VOR should not exactly behave like a real one (apart from...
