Ok - I'm confused. If I export the file and hand tweak it, when I reload it it overwrites the settings. How come this file doesn't?

I believe the new file will overwrite your fuel/flaps/etc. calibrations. To save them export your current settings from Skyview, open the *.dfg file that was exported with a text editor and look for the "user_cal={" sections. Copy that section and insert it in the new file Dynon supplied just...

Princeton also have a "1S is for computer based displays". It basically has one calibration point. You press the calibration button once when it's empty and it's ready for the Dynon calibration. Otherwise as Dynon says, you'll probably have to calibrate the Princeton unit before it will work for...

It's not a question of not enough serial ports, it's that the Skyview is way too versatile. Poll on the number of serial port used is here. http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1338252641

You probably don't have a NAV source selected. It's in the PDF menu. One of the buttons will be NAVSRC. Press it to cycle through the NAV sources. Page 4-7 of the User Guide. The current NAV source is displayed on the PDF. GPS 0 on the following screen which is usually the SV-GPS-250. Once you...

Magic. I wish I could fill my tanks to 5x the capacity. ;) On a more sane note, could be the ground. SV will sense 5V on the pin unless it's grounded. The fuel sensor is just a variable resistor that allows some current to drain to ground - depending on the fuel level. If there is no ground, no...

The nice thing about the network is that it can be split any number of times so you never run out of "ports". Search the forum for "network split" for some ideas. Dynon also has a network hub to attach several devices to the network.

I noticed a voice caution message once in a while but I believe it was on taxi and backtracking. Could be the rough grass strip but I though it had to do with GPS assist when there is not enough pitot pressure to register airspeed. My airspeed starts at about 20 kts but on backtrack the GPS...

A couple of years ago I planned for months, drafted multiple alternate panels including a G3X version, laid it out for the local FBO and took critical abuse and the odd cocked eyebrow from the old timers before I installed Skyview, but I planned for change. My breaker panel that cost a fortune...

This has been discussed previously on this forum. The problem with taxing is the direction shown on the map is compass direction until the the plane is moving fast enough for the GPS to take over. You can tell it's GPS direction when the direction on the map is outlined in magenta. At 14 kts...

According to Mike Busch the absolute EGT temperatures don't really mean a lot. You want to watch the CHT. See the discussion here: http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1340756752

Bummer :-/ but we will patiently wait for quality stuff.

With the USB thumb drive inserted the SYSTEM SOFTWARE option of the SETUP MENU is available. In that screen select EXPORT SETTINGS. Page 3-14 of the installation manual.

Hi Geoff I just returned from Nova Scotia. The bush and rock is definitely different then the wide open prairies. We're kind of spoiled here with an estimated million miles of graded road for emergency landing. The rest is sort of flat also. Kind of a gift to pilots. Good luck with the first...

I agree the calibration is tedious at best but you only need to do it twice. Once for practice and once again for good measure. ::) Just guessing here but I think the initial max capacity is to determine the increment for the calibration and the maximum amount on the gauge. Both of which can be...

Probably something that wouldn't happen often but good to know there is a work around. I was trying to adjust the route by a slight amount but it kept snapping back to the waypoint. That would be why there were three in the file. If you need any more inane situations to debug the software let...

You can set at what clearance the yellow and red show in the SETUP MENU -> MAP SETUP. The default is 100' for red and 1000' for yellow. I don't think they can be changed in flight. It really doesn't matter where the valleys are when you're 1000' above all the terrain. If you need to see the...

The SV EMS Sensor Definitions on the SV Support Web Page is dated 5/2/11 but the file has a date of 5/2/12.

I just returned from a 40 hour xcountry trip and was using Skyview AP mostly connected to my GPS495. I had a couple of random mode changes. It's announced via the SV voice warnings. When I checked, the AP had changed from NAV to TRK. I didn't notice any when I was using GPS0 (SV-GPS-250) as the...

GPX file attached. There were actually three identical waypoints. I deleted one in SV but it didn't seem to help at the time. I'll try the ACTIVATE LEG next time. www.digitalmapping.sk.ca/CYRO-CYHZ.gpx
