    Base map features

    Good question. From the Installation Manual pp 6-1: Does that mean the MAP page is not available or just the DTO, nearest and flight planning are missing? The map is still pretty handy without the nav and obstacles.

    txInterogate Emag ignitions

    When it does come up, Brad Dement from E-MAG Ignitions said "Our EICAD data stream is available to all the instrument manufacturers – free of charge."

    Skyview Fuel Computer

    The SV fuel calibration can be manually edited. That will save you the hassle of redoing the calibration. Export the files to your USB key from the setup menu. Look for the file with EMS in the name and open it with a txt editor. Look for the calibration sections. Search for "user_cal={". The...

    Altitude capture

    If you change the bug from 2500 to 2000 it should descend not climb. Your servos seem to be backwards. Try the calibration again. Pages 10-11 of the Installation manual On the ground the servo will go to full pitch and then start slipping because all indications are that it's still level -...

    Skyview Autopilot

    In my experience, when I disengage AP to look at something, it heads back to the route at about a 45 degree intercept when I re engage. I didn't measure how far off I can go and didn't specifically check the intercept angle, but the AP is dedicated to getting back on the NAV route. I suspect...

    Panel mount comm serial data

    Maybe I'll get a bigger engine if they're desirable components :-?

    Panel mount comm serial data

    Good choice of connection. Is the number of network items limited?

    GPS receiver position

    The GPS signal is fairly week so it can be easily blocked (ask LightSquared). Put your hand over the antenna to test. Having said that I mounted the GPS495 and SV-GPS-250 side by side on top of the glare shield of my Glaisair and haven't had any problems. They read through the windshield and the...

    Westach Tach/Oil/Fuel Tranducers

    I placed my resistors on the switch end and just used crimp on connects. I covered the whole thing with shrink wrap. See the two white wires with the black shrink wrap ends below. The resitors are in the shrink wrap.

    EMS Screen Layouts

    Caught me. Yeah I just used a graphics program to see what it would look like. It's a good idea. I hope Dynon considers it. That and the labels.

    EMS Screen Layouts

    Hand coding adds a lot of flexibility to an already highly customizable EMS page. But I agree, the label on the bottom of the gauge does get in the way of some arrangements. Especially trying to place gauges together like the four that Richard has at the bottom of the 20% page. In some cases I...

    Looks good - planning my winter VP-X retrofit already.

    serial port failure (?) firmware 3.1.1

    Is the backup battery connected?

    power-up failure SV1000 - NOT firmware 3.1.1

    That sounds similar to my boot since I updated to 3.1.1 and disconnected the backup battery. I was booting, getting stuck and using the 1,2,5 reboot function. When I started the engine SV rebooted by itself. The last couple of times I flew I didn't wait for the SV to fully boot as it was...

    How easy is it to load Waypoints

    I've been manually editing the dfg files and reloading them with no side effects - touch wood. ::) I've also added comments to the file for my own purpose and SV politely ignores the extraneous stuff. I think if the SV can't make sense of the file it just won't load it. The case in point is the...

    Zaon traffic on SV

    I asked Zaon about remotely installing the XRX and to have it come on with the aircraft power. A composite aircraft allows remote installation but they said keep it above the glare shield so the firewall and panel don't block the forward reception. I don't believe there is a way to turn it on...

    Autopilot on a Europa XS Tri-Gear

    It may be trying too hard to stay on target. My Glasair rocked back and forth in smooth air with the default settings. I turned down the sensitivity on the roll axis and the rocking quit. Haven't tried really rough air.
