    Had a friend print a spacer for the autopilot and knob panel for my HDX system. Now all the panel bezels are the same thickness. Made with black ABS plastic. Looks like it belongs now. Kurt

    HDX "UNKNOWN_DATE" and Time when downloading User Data

    I recently upgraded my Classic to the HDX and noticed when downloading the User Files the data on the files is 12/31/1979 and in the title it has "UNKNOWN_DATE" where it normally has current date. This started happening with the HDX install. I have a single HDX1100 with the backup battery. I...

    Skyview ABS-B on Avidyne IFD-540

    Avidyne released software 10.3 on Wednesday. One of the big changes is it allows the Avidyne to display ADS-B weather and traffic from other devices as long as it is on Wi-Fi and using Port 4000. I installed version 10.3 on my Avidyne but unable to display any ADS-B products. The IFD is...

    Skyview WiFi intermittent no communication.

    I have had my WiFi fail to communicate with my Foreflight tablet about 3 times over the past few months. In all cases it starts off fine then in-flight Foreflight drops my position data and shows no track or any info on flight progress. No more ADSB data. Looking at the WiFi status it shows...

    I have been unable to upload the User Log file to SAVVY since I upgraded to 16.0.4.8437. I contacted SAVVY who said the file had errors in it at the end. He had to delete the end and then he could import, however, every flight had the current date. so, all the flights show up on the same day...

    Another possible V16 issue

    I have started seeing a new issue since I upgraded to version v16. This is related to Skyview WiFi connection to Foreflight. But since Foreflight has also updated their version I am not sure who is to blame. I have a 10" Skyview Touch, with ADSB-472, and Avidyne IFD-540. The Avidyne...

    Software Version 16 disappointment?

    I loaded V16 and am somewhat disappointed there are no improvements supporting Avidyne IFD products. Since Dynon does not make a IFR navigator they are at a disadvantage to G. G products are much more able to share weather, traffic, ADS-B, radio tuning,etc. between their IFR navigator display...

    How does Dynon come up with calibration coefficients

    Dynon, I am trying to understand how you come up with the calibration coefficients. It looks like you are using more data than a Skyview user has available to generate the coefficients. Example: The new 150 PSIG (P255-150G-E4A) pressure transducer you have in the .SFG file the calibration...

    SV D1000 Classic joystick use in turbulence

    If you have a classic SV system and when in turbulence, accidently move the joystick when you wanted to just turn the knob then this modification may help you. I took some 3/16 inch Yoga mat foam and made some bushings to make it a little harder to move the joystick functions. I used a 1/2 inch...

    Not getting Lightning Data from SV-ADSB-472 on ForeFlight

    I am not receiving any lightning data on ForeFlight when connected to my Skyview Network (SV-D1000-T , SV-ADSB-472, WiFi) running version 15.4.7. Other posts say this is working, but I don't see it. Once I connect to my home wifi it displays perfectly. What firmware revision is the latest on...

    Skyview ADS-B weather and traffic on IFD540

    Last year when I was at Oshkosh the Avidyne booth had ADS-B weather and traffic displayed on both the IFD and the Skyview. How is this done? Is it possible to use my Skview ADS-B receiver to supply weather and traffic to the IFD? Can the data move via ethernet or connect to IFD serial port?

    Dynon and Avidyne IFD

    Dynon, When I was at Oshkosh, one of the Dynon employees mentioned you were planning some nice features that can be shared between SkyView and IFD? Any word on what/when it is planned? I have a few suggestions: Push flight plans between SkyView/IFD Tune Com / Nav radio. Share ADS-B products...

    SkyView ARINC 429 dropouts from GNS430W

    Dynon, what is the current progress / status regarding the momentary ARINC 429 dropouts that some GNS430W-->ARINC 429-->SV flyers experience. On my way to Oshkosh I had several dropouts in quick succession which caused autopilot to auto switch out of NAV to Course mode. I spoke to some guys...

    In Flight Wind speed off by 30 kts.

    I noticed on my last two flights the Dynon Skyview wind speed is off by ~25 to 30 kts.  The wind direction is correct as I compare it to the D-100 and the GNS430W.  I used to see all 3 be reasonably close to each other with the GNS430W exact same as Skyview.  Does the GNS430W not get all the...

    D100 off axis mounting

    Dynon, I have a D100 set up as my standby flight display as it is totally independent of the skyview system. My D100 is installed in my Glasair on the Future Vision instrument panel. This panel has the inserts canted to favor the pilots viewing angle (about 10 degrees). See attached photo...

    FLY Q V 3.0 users and Skyview

    I normally would not use this forum for this problem but in case I am not the only Skyview driver that is using Seattle Fly-Q. I would recommend that you DO NOT UPDATE TO VERSION 3.0 I updated to FLY Q EFB 3.0 and flew with it for the 1st time. It will lock up or abort immediately when it...
