    Trouble with Seattle Avionics DataManager.... again....

    I bought the lifetime subscription back in 2015 for Skyview data, but now when trying to download it I get a message that there is no subscription for my login/password combination. I know I haven't changed my password or login ID since I started, so that's not it. I even uninstalled the program...

    Upgraded feature request - glide ring

    I would really like to see the glide ring take terrain into account (like Foreflight) rather than just draw a circular glide distance down in heavy terrain. We don't know if that ring is using the highest point, lowest point, average height, or something else to calculate how far out the ring...

    Trim annunciation blocks the turn coordinator

    The current location of the trim annunciation on the screen of the HDX for trim up/down is overload on top of the slip/skid ball for a coordinated turn. That becomes problematic during a couple IFR approach when speeds may be varying (and trim requirements with it) and you're trying to keep...

    Future update request - maintenance timers

    Can we have an alert or message on bootup to advise when one of the maintenance timers has expired, either on time or hours as selected? This has been discussed before, and we never really got an answer. Having a maintenance log is a good thing - but having a maintenance log with user-settable...

    ARINC-429 dropouts are still a problem that has not been addressed - or even acknowledged.

    They have been occurring with regularity to a large number of Skyview users, myself included. Today flying home from the Reno Air Races I had a number of minor dropouts and one that lasted long enough that the autopilot kicked off GPSS mode to track mode. Here's a screenshot of one of the...

    Seattle Avionics download issue - anyone else?

    On the latest set of data from Seattle Avionics, on my system the VFR Sectional Charts for Mexico regions Sierra Madre Del Sur, Tehuantepec, and Yucatan will not recognize as legitimate files and it keeps trying to download them again every hour when the datamanager checks for updates. I've...

    G-meter alert malfunction

    Today while goofing off locally, I encountered a few minor jolts in the air from turbulence and got a "G's" alert from Skyview Classic. That's nothing unusual, it happens often - but this time the alert latched on and would not reset in smooth air. I was forced to power off and back on my...

    430W / ARINC 429 problems

    I have the full Skyview Classic suite in my 9A, with a Garmin 430W feeding the Dynon ARINC-429 for IFR nav data. It works like a charm in GPS mode but I don't get anything at all in VLOC mode. Is there something you can recommend as a starting point for troubleshooting? ILS reception is evident...

    ADSB traffic on instrument approach plates?

    When flying with an instrument approach plate up in place of the map screen, will ADSB traffic appear geo-referenced on the approach plate as it does in the map?

    Dynon Certified status?

    Dynon - I've got a 172 with cranky vacuum pumps that is just begging for the Skyview STC - can you give us any hints as to the timeline for when that will be available?

    Altimeter discrepancy on Skyview

    On Saturday of this weekend I flew in some rain just prior to landing and putting the aircraft away, no problems noted in flight or landing. On Sunday I pulled it out to fly again and noticed that my Skyview Classic with 15.2.0 software was indicated altitude about 400 feet high with the correct...

    No alerts on maintenance log?

    I set up several items in my maintenance log (Skyview Classic, 15.1.0) and noticed that my oil change timer (referencing tach time) did not flag me with any alert when it expired. I cannot find a specific setting to turn alerts on/off, am I missing something?

    Local time on the display

    It would be very convenient if the local time on the Skyview display could be adjusted to true local time automatically - currently crossing a time zone does not change the display time to local time, it has to be changed manually. With the GPS timestamp and location known, it seems that this...

    Autopilot airspeed low annunciation

    I've noticed that when my airspeed gets low during a climb on autopilot, I get the annunciation both on the screen and in my headset as I should. If I decrease the climb rate and the airspeed comes up, the annunciation goes away, as it should. But if I disconnect the autopilot during the...

    Output logic from SV Classic?

    Dynon - is there a way to get output logic from the Skyview based on flight conditions? Specifically what I would like to do is have Skyview give me a pin either grounded or with +5/+12 for sensing when I am above a specific airspeed, say 100 knots. Below that speed when my landing lights are on...

    "GPS 1 Fail" message

    While flying yesterday I got a Caution alert on my Skyview Classic running 15.0.3 software, the message box said "GPS 1 Fail", but I still had a good solid lock on both my Skyview GPS2020 constellation status screen and on my Garmin 430W feeding to your ARINC-429. I could not get the message to...

    Automatic time change on Skyview?

    It sure would be nice if you could have Skyview automatically adjust "local" time and ETA info based on crossing a timezone in flight, and maybe even for standard time versus daylight savings time. Flying from Texas into Colorado, the ETA shows my arrival at destination on Central time, when...

    Data Comm module for Skyview?

    This is still a long way off for most aircraft but as part of the NextGen effort they are rolling out the DataComm equipment to allow ATC to talk to participating aircraft via data messaging to a transceiver in the aircraft rather than relying on voice comms. This will initially just deal with...

    Nearest airspace indicator

    One of the more recent software upgrades you added the airspace indicator on the right side of the Skyview screen about in the middle, that indicates how close you are to airspace and whether above/below etc... Can you modify this code to allow the user to move that info box to another location...
