Thanks for your reply airguy... Some information, no matter how meager, is still way better than complete silence on the issue. Your reply at least gives me a clue as to what is going on ...
Yes, the A/P disconnect should still function normally. This just disables the Skyview system from issuing a CAUTION warning if the wires to the button are severed. Too large of a resistor ( too many ohms) would also cause this CAUTION, as it looks like the wires are broken. You could test this...
I would like the configuration screen to allow the user to optionally specify another tone schedule for the aural AOA tone. Just like the config settings allow for specifying various bands for the on-screen engine sensor displays. for example,
1. Below x% of stall: Silent (No-tone)
2. Between...
With the obvious caveat that it's not done until it's done, it would be extremely useful to have some regular or intermittent updates on the release schedule for HDX version 16. Perhaps a short blurb on where you are in the software development cycle might be added as a thread on a discussion...
I took my Autopilot disconnect button apart and reassembled it with a new resistor, and I still have the problem. To be clear, any time the autopilot is engaged, and the Autopilot is configured to "Detect Broken A/P Disconnect circuit", I get the continuous CAUTION warnings. If I disable that...
dloyd, Yes, Direct to a waypoint will cause BOTH bearing [pointers to point to that waypoint and the little pop up box to indicate bearing and range to the Direct Waypoint.
But if you only have one GPS Navigator, and you have a flight plan route in Skyview, then going Direct to another defined...
My CAP unit aircraft has the Garmin G-1000. But I use my own aircraft with HDX when I fly for local Sheriff Air Group. I was just describing possible use for this functionality, But the G-1000 is the same way. In G-1000, you cannot specify a separate "target" or waypoint for the G-1000 Bearing...
But as one example I fly for the Civil Air Patrol, and I volunteer for local county Sheriff Search and Rescue group. We could use this functionality when we are flying a defined search pattern over the ground, but need to rapidly establish situation awareness about a position communicated to us...
I confess I am relatively new to new glass cockpit avionics. I learned in the USAF using ADI/HSI with multiple bearing pointers and used the bearing pointer and DME for many functions. I may be missing it only because I have not yet become comfortable performing the same tasks using the new...
You do not understand. The Bearing Pointer does NOT point to the GPS satellite when it's assigned to SkyView and you are on a active flight plan. No, it points to the destination of the current leg of the flight plan, i.e., a Waypoint. I am just suggesting that the system software be modified...
By default, bearing pointer 1 in the HDX points to the current GPS waypoint. You cannot control this. Many of us only have one nav source (an SV-GPS-2020/250), installed. In this case bearing pointer 2 is more or less useless. It would be a very useful enhancement to add functionality to allow...
Yes, I posted it in the other thread, because the underlying issue that thread was created about (failure of HDX system to detect Servo when connected through Network Hub), has still never been resolved, and I suspected they might be related, as the Caution Alert only occurred when Autopilot was...
Good idea, I will. It is interesting that the alert log indicates that this caution alert is happening over and over again, (every few seconds or so), on and off, in spite of the fact that the Autopilot is on and functioning properly. I have a resistor across the momentary switch, as specified...
I downloaded the Data logs, and one of the files is Alerts... a portion of which looks like this:
6502.44,2,9,2020-07-12 14:55:23,+37.09436,-110.59238,11087,133.1,288.6,-10.1,14:55:41,AUDIO,PLAY,SYS_CAUTION,
6502.50,2,9,2020-07-12...
So installing the SV-GPS-250 as a second GPS only adds the benefits of having a backup in the event of failure of the primary SV-GPS-2020?
Then, with only the SV-GPS-2020 installed, is there a way to specify a second different waypoint for Bearing Pointer 2?
