Foreflight offers a Canadian subscription. I was hoping it worked with that also.  :-/

I don't have access to my Skyview or GPS495 but I believe the SERIAL IN FUNCTION should be GPS 1 rather than POS 2. Also in advanced settings for the GPS495 set it to NORMAL rather than FAST. I think you get this option by pressing MENU button while in the Setup->Interface menu on the GPS495...

I used a Ray Allen that outputs 0-5V for flaps. I also have a linear activator that has a potentiometer I use for my cowl flap. It outputs 0-5V also. You need to do a calibration on a potentiometer but that is easy enough. My AFR (oxygen sensor) gauge outputs 0-5V and I had few problems adapting...

Vern - we're hoping for spring later this year  :( I'm away for a while so development has stopped. I left a BETA to download for those that want to check it out. It will import a Skyview DFG file but won't export it so that you can load it back into Skyview. Features that do work: + Under the...

The engine layout can be hand coded but is tedious at best. The SV layout tools also leave a bit to be desired. Plus using the SV engine layout tools limits the design quite a bit. The width of arcs and bars are stuck with one width and the widgets have three default sizes. SV itself can handle...

I'm working on some software to help with the design of the engine page layout. Can I get a some information about the measurements and scale used in the DFG file. Skyview 10" unit used in DFG file =  how many pixels Skyview 7" unit used in DFG file =  how many pixels Also where the bars start...

Method is right. Might just be a corrupt file. Try downloading the file again. One thing with that is sometimes missed is that you need to eject the USB stick from the computer before it's removed. Otherwise it may corrupt the files on the stick. From the Windows Explorer right click on the USB...

I created a different version of the USER LOG file parser to output a "tour" of the log so that it looks like Google Earth is flying the flight path. There are a couple of limitations. The program only extracts the first flight from the file. I think it's a Google Earth limitation as it can only...

Nope - headed there now though. Thanks for the tip.

I agree with Jake about the power source. In addition, the P-Mags need to be on when the engine shuts down as it logs data internally (page 22 of manual) so mine come on (pin 5) with the master switch. For the "will they run without ship power" I use VP-X or you can just pull the breaker. I use...

Interesting idea. I can record and save a tour with Google Earth which looks like flying. I'll have to see what the kml file looks like for a tour and see if I can convert the user logs to a tour. Thanks for the idea. :)

I checked a couple of your flight maps.  Looks like Melborne to Kansas City and back in sixty seconds. How do you do that. Is it some sort of warp drive? :-?

I have dual P-Mags. I connected pin 6 of the P-Mags to Skyview EMS pins 32/34 without resistors. You really only need one connection as the tach signal from the P-Mag doesn't quit when you check the mags. The signal is normally two pulses per revolution but you can change that to one with the...

I think we asked for a none unit sensor definition but suppressing the units works just as well. :) :)

I updated the log parsing program to a more stable version. I added options to add the TAXI path to the Google file and a way to determine when the aircraft is airborne. I also changed to GPS altitude for the Google earth file. It eliminates the problems mentioned above...

You can now suppress the units on the display so that the gauge just shows the name. In most cases that is all that is required and you don't really want the TIMING gauge to read in PSI. See the gauges below. Most just show the name.

Something I noticed when I started looking at my flight logs in Google Earth is that when I take off the altitude is out by up to a hundred metres. But when I land the altitude is correct. I consider takeoff to be 60 kts. It also seems to be Ok when I do circuits. See below:

Sure. PM me and we can exchange email addresses. I used Visual C# Express so there is not a lot of code.

I put together a quick log file parser to extract the flight logs from the USER LOG DATA. You can edit and save the flight logs. Importing multiple LOG files appends the flights to the current log. It also creates a Google Earth KML file that you can load in Google Earth to see your 3D flight...

Savvy Analysis does display the flight path of the flight and flight data including IAS/TAS/PALT/DALT/GALT/LAT/LONG and Vertical Speed all over time in graph form. Not a flight log but still useful information. Flight path shown here...
