I echo this request... not a big deal, but it makes total sense. I DL after every flight, and always delete the logs to keep clutter and fragmentation of the SSD in the display to a minimum.

I don't focus on any instrument- long ago during a BFR my CFI challenged me to not remain focused on airspeed on approach- rather look out the window and 'feel' the airplane through pitch angle, throttle, visual sink rate, wind noise, etc. It's amazing how much better pilot you become if you...

For those wondering: The level of opaqueness for TFRs can be adjusted under MAP SETUP > MAP ITEMS > TFR OPACITY. (press-and-hold Buttons 7+8, then selecting MAP SETUP > MAP ITEMS > TFR OPACITY).

That would drive me crazy... starting to get a tone at L/D max? The difference between my L/D max and stall speed is a relatively large span, and would mean that during my entire approach starting several miles out I'm getting an AOA tone. I would not want to be your co-pilot in this setup.

I know that if you have autopilot, you can't set the airspeed bug any lower than your minimum pitch airspeed in the autopilot setup.

I don't have trouble with the app recognizing subsequent insertion of other USB sticks, so that's odd that this is happening to you. I do agree with the issues regarding Status bar and Activity Monitor- these have existed for years and have yet to be corrected. Obviously not a Dynon problem...

I recently updated to 6.6.0.2. I would say it is NOT faster than the previous version. I'm watching it update one of my USB 3.1 sticks (in a 3.1 port on a modern computer) and so far it took 55 minutes to update the Airport diagrams. It is still working on the Approach Plates and Airport...

Tried this- it throws an immediate error. I noticed that it may expect the log file to end in .txt, mine end in .csv. I tried changing the test file to .txt, but still got the same error.

Understood- I can appreciate the complex relationships in all the AP parameters. I do hope there is some way to eventually have the means to control max pitch behavior.

I understand mountain downdrafts- I'm not expecting the AP to handle these. I'm talking more about the mountain waves that occur east of the Rockies, sometimes for a couple hundred miles. They are strong enough that they can push my aircraft down at 400 feet per minute or more for a minute or...

No response from anybody at Dynon? Is this not a reasonable consideration?

Was likely GPS outage- I get frequent notifications from the FAA regarding GPS disruptions originating from White Sands/Holloman AFB, which is only about 75 miles north of El Paso.

I really wish there was one additional setting in the AP- that for Max Pitch Angle. Since I live in Colorado, I fly often in mountain wave turbulence, and this results in rather strong up and downdrafts that can extend for hundreds of miles. Obviously there are times that the AP just won't be...

I basically did what is outlined in this thread. It's something you want to be very cautious about if you are not comfortable soldering lithium batteries. I bought high quality batteries with solder tabs. https://vansairforce.net/community/showthread.php?t=152596

Did you try what worked for me back when I had the 7" Classic? See my post right before your post.
