    ADSB traffic ghosting

    I also experienced the ghosting from Western Louisiana (Alexandria) into East Texas (Cedar Creek) yesterday afternoon. I saw myself as traffic about 1 mile north of my position and on a few occasions I saw other traffic was duplicated, looking like two aircraft in formation. Ill send a note to...

    SV TACH time

    Dear Dynon I recently changed my TACH CRUISE RPM setting and once I landed and recorded my TACH time in my paper log I noticed the TACH TIME was incorrect, at a old setting. My question is: when entering the engine settings page is the CURRENT TACH TIME pre-loaded into the setting or is it the...

    Dynon and Advanced Oshkosh 2016 News

    Dynon, I see with the HDX with version 15.0 the engine gauges can be displayed on the bottom, full width. Is this an option on the non-HDX models? ie. 10" touch. Thanks,

    SV ADS-B traffic anomally?

    Dear Dynon, Yesterday during an IFR flight from Tampa, Fl. to Fort Worth, TX I noticed two traffic displays anomalies at different times. First, was "Displaced" labeled under the target. The second was a target's label toggling between "1200" and "VFR". Both of these occurred between FL...

    Engine cooling pressure

    Bob, Sorry I had an error in my calibration calculation. Should be y = 8.919080x - 1.783816 sensor={ id=MPX DIFF PRESSURE ;UN-VERIFIED function=PRESSURE pins=C37_P8 C37_P22 C37_P23 C37_P31 name=DIFF PR min_val=0 max_val=40 resolution=0...

    Engine cooling pressure

    Bob, For the MPX sensor you provided the calibration is y = 0.112119x + 0.200000 to give EU's output in "Inches or Water". So create a new sensor definition like: sensor={ id=MPX DIFF PRESSURE ;UN-VERIFIED function=PRESSURE pins=C37_P8 C37_P22 C37_P23 C37_P31...

    Engine cooling pressure

    Bob, This looks like it will work. It outputs ~0 to 5V, but it requires 5 volt excitation. So you will have to get that from some place. Needs to be mounted, designed for a Printed Circuit Board. Calibration is no problem. If your not planning on installing this permanently then there are...

    Fluctuating Manifold Pressure

    On My Glasair with a LYC IO360 I have been using a brass 1/8 NPT fitting on the #3 Cyl. This fitting I sealed completely closed by soldering it shut with a propane torch. Then drilled a #60 hole thru the solder. By having the orifice near the engine allows the tubing between this and the MP...

    MAP adjustment

    Andrieu, To modify your sensor calibration you need to modify your .sfg file. Export current file and edit using Notepad. Save new file with new unique name. You will need to import the new file back into SV once modification is complete. The current MAP sensor cal is defined as: sensor={...

    Complete System Failure In Flight

    I had the A/P autonomously change from GPSS to Track on my SV touch with Garmin 430W driving the flight plan. I notice the magenta needle (HSI display) and data fields blanks out for a second or two and re-appears as if nothing happened. I have seen the HSI display disappear on occasion since...

    Not sure if it's a bug...

    I am seeing the same thing on my SV touch with Garmin 430W driving the flight plan. I notice the magenta needle (HSI display) and data fields blanks out for a second or two and re-appears as if nothing happened. I have seen this since I installed in 2014. On today's flight (6hrs flying time)...

    Security Code

    Having password protection on setup items like your "N" number sounds like a great idea for this. If your system is stolen having the rightful owners "N" number sent out on the mode S transponder is a perfect way of getting caught.

    Unable to get Glide Distance Ring on V14.0

    I loaded V14.0 and flew it the first time today. I thought I set it up properly but I am unable to get the Glide Distance ring to appear on the map. I set the Glide Sink Rate to 1300ft / min and set the map to include Glide Ring up to 50nm zoom range. In no case do I get the green ring as...

    New Knob panel losing steps

    Dynon, I flew over 5 hours from Texas to Central Fl over the holiday and did experience the Altitude bug knob missing steps, backward steps, and jumping to far. I only see it on occasion and only on the SV-KNOB-PANEL. I could not duplicate on the LH knob. So I will need to send it back to...

    Kavlico Pressure Sensor

    Jos50, Based on your photo looks like you have the pressure sender plumbed to the fuel distributor (spider).  The pressure at this point represents flow.  Not total fuel pressure.  The KALVICO pressure sender should be plumbed to the fuel injector unit to see the total pressure.  That should...

    New Knob panel losing steps

    Dynon, I upgraded from version 12.2, I think. Whatever the prior version before 13.0.3 was. I generally do not use the joystick knob so I will try it this weekend when I fly next. I should also note it doesn't always do this. I will experiment with it and see how often I experience this.
