    Direct To Button

    Thank you RV8JD! That section of the Pilot's User Guide is what I was missing. The next paragraph after the above further details how to get a Map Pointer waypoint into a current flight plan: "When in Map Panning Mode, the MENU > USER WAYPOINTS > ADD MAP CURSOR POSITION menu item will allow...

    Direct To Button

    Experimenting with my HDX map feature today, I found if I touch anywhere on the screen, then press the button twice, the Flight Planner will create a direct flight plan from my plane's current position to the location I touched on the screen. It does this without me needing to create or add a...

    I also have 2 displays and have seen the red X's indicating Skyview network (SkyNet???) equipment not connected after updating my 1st with this and previous software updates. The X's have always gone away after upgrading the 2nd display.

    Also note the instructions on the Dynon software download page state "This file must be loaded onto each display individually."

    HDX USB Port Locations

    In the Skyview System Installation Guide, chapter 4, page 10 shows a rear-view drawing of the HDX screen and USB port locations. As mentioned above by Stevec, removing the 4 ea. front mounting screws and pulling the HDX screen forward from the panel should give good access to the rear ports...

    LED Lighting Under HDX Button Panel

    I installed a Crazed Pilot LED strip along the bottom of my RV-6 glare shield. It illuminates the entire panel and includes dimmer: https://www.crazedpilot.com/cockpit-lighting-system

    Tie Flight Plan SRC to HSI NAV SRC

    If I do not have an external navigator, does changing from No to Yes have any effect/make a difference?

    Tie Flight Plan SRC to HSI NAV SRC

    I have a question about this option found in the Setup Menu > Map Setup screen (see attached). If I've loaded and enabled a flight plan using the Skyview Flight Plan menu, how does this option change Skyview's behavior when switching from No (default) to Yes? Other than the note at the bottom of...

    Do I need an audio panel?

    I do not have an AP-60 but perusing the instruction manual, this unit is an audio mixer only - it does not have any built-in switching capability. The manual further states "Optionally switches can be installed on the input lines to enable turning off and on specific devices."...

    Makes me wish I had an iPad!

    Back up battery check

    I would think when the battery comes close to nearly being totally discharged (around 10.5 - 11 volts?). There isn't much of a difference between 13.8 & 14.2 volts and that difference wouldn't change the charge time by a large amount.

    Back up battery check

    Or maybe the back up battery is on the edge of needing replacement?

    SYS EVENT 3: SYS EVENT 5: Screen Powered Off

    I'm aware of the limitations on the total number of read/write cycles with solid state drives. As such, it seems we should have a general idea on Dynon's life-cycle with needing to replace drives, just as we should have a rough idea on planning to replace the back-up batteries. Would reducing...

    SYS EVENT 3: SYS EVENT 5: Screen Powered Off

    How long can we expect these drives to last before they require replacing? What determines the life of these solid state drives? Is it total # of hours the screens are powered up, number of power on/off cycles or some other parameter we can control/regulate?

    Auto Pilot Speed

    Configurable. Setup > Autopilot Setup > Pitch Axis > Maximum & Minimum Airspeed adjustments. I only found one speed setting for each of these adjustments. This was already answered in the 2nd post of this thread.

    Software update 16.0.4 and lost ADS-B 472 data processing

    To verify, in a multi-display configuration, you would need to load/update this patch into each display?

    Skyview Wish List

    Add the ability to rubber band the magenta line on a current flight plan over a new waypoint and insert. The current method of having to create, name and save a new waypoint, then insert that new waypoint into the current flight plan is way too cumbersome.

    Auto Pilot Speed

    The Maximum and Minimum airspeeds for the Pitch Axis servo are configured on the Setup Menu>Autopilot Setup>Pitch Axis page (see attached). Is that what you were referring to?
