Hi, Tom's suggestion would also be my favorite solution. Nothing fancy but easy to use -and it saves quite a few keystrokes and joystick operation... MCRider

@Randy: I have done some measurements (with a vector network analyzer) with several transponder antennas. They all seem to work very well - VSWR was always better than 1.2. There are no mode S specific antennas. The frequencies have not changed with mode S. The signal is different of course. I...

Any hope for next version?

It would be really helpful to have a higher resolution if the fuel flow display ist set to liters (to tweak the RPM and throttle settings). Why don't you just round it to the nearest .25 or .5? With user-defined sensors it is easy ("round=0.25" or "round=0.5") - so we already have the...

I'd like to bring that up again (Measurements of GRT CS-01 current sensor not showing up in log file). As "promised" it was not fixed in version 11... Thanks MCRider

The measurement was done on the ground using a test kit that applies pressure to the static and pitot lines and by comparing the measurements with calibrated instruments in the test kit. It was part of getting the final airworthiness certificate (after flying with a "permit to fly" for a while)...

Hi, Yesterday I had a check of airspeed and altitude accuracy for my SkyView and my analog backup instruments. The SkyView was always spot-on, max. airspeed error 1 knot, max. altitude error 20 feet. The steam gauges were less accurate but within allowed tolerances... Well done, Dynon! MCRider

Number 3... My little "project" is described here (http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1400098744/5#2). With the requested feature I would replace some of the constants with parameters from the "command file". Some feedback after sending the command file would be helpful. You...

Hi, for my PowerFLARM Core this setup works: 9600 Baud TIS format in SkyView (shows up as SERIAL_IN_FUNC_TRAFFIC in the SkyView config file) Optional license for TIS interface in PowerFLARM required! Select "Garmin TIS" format in the PowerFLARM online setup tool (Result: "$PFLAC,S,NMEAOUT2,4"...

Hi Dynon, Any chance to get this fixed in the near future? Thanks MCRider

Geoff, No Problem - here is the code. Please note that I am not a software engineer, although I have a professional background in hard- and software engineering. I tried to keep everything as simple as possible rather than creating a masterpiece of software design. A major part of the code is...

If you are are ready for some DIY engineering: You can use a simple single-board computer that receives the serial data stream from SkyView (which includes the airspeed and should also include the status of contact input) and drives a warning light, generates a beep or maybe even voice output...

This is not fixed yet (software 10.1). Is there a chance to get a fix in the next time? I'd like to use the amps in the log file to compare the behaviour of a lead acid and a LiFePO4 battery...

>> Also I have a Hall Effect coil to display Amps but the data files don't show any value in the amps column. That is a known bug which has not been fixed yet.
