    Music volume adjustment

    I would like the ability to adjust volume for the music inputs of the intercom. It seems like the most flexible solution would be to modify the volume knob behavior so pushing it without rotating it turns on/off the intercom (current functionality) but pushing it and rotating it while pushed in...

    Bug: waypoint alert spam when perpendicular to it

    On my flight plans my waypoints are often airports that I fly near and need to contact, but I don't literally fly to them, just beside them. When I'm closest to them, meaning my flight path is exactly perpendicular to the airport, I get 5-6 waypoint alert audio messages in as many seconds. It's...

    Let radio APT button tune it to the active airport

    I would like to be able to configure the radio's APT button so that pushing it will perform the APT->COM function on the display's active airport, if any (the one shown when you push the INFO button on the display). My primary use case is when flying with a flight plan entered in the display...

    Remapping radio's APT button to APT->COM

    I find the radio's APT button useless in an integrated SkyView system. (For those who don't know, pushing it once lets you browse nearest airports on the radio itself and pushing it twice lets you use the rotary knob to "type" the ICAO of a nearby airport.) I would like to be able to configure...

    Bug: Traffic alerts issued for my own aircraft!

    I have the HDX with all Dynon components (GPS-2020, transponder, etc.) and ADS-B in and out. At least once every flight, and usually a few times, the map will issue a traffic alert for myself. It shows an aircraft on the map and approximately my location, sometimes offset a tiny bit or indicated...

    External ambient light sensor

    I notice when flying at night, with the screen at a dim setting, that it constantly changes brightness 1-2 times per second. It's really distracting. I am open-cockpit and I believe it is getting confused by my strobes, but whatever the cause is, I'd like a solution. There is no situation where...

    Pointless fuel error every time I turn the EFIS on

    I recently hooked up and calibrated my fuel level sensor to the SkyView system. Fuel level works correctly but every time I turn on the display I get the attached error. I just click Cancel and everything is fine. How can I prevent this error message?

    My ADS-B antenna fell out

    A few months ago when my finished aircraft was being taxied from the shop to the hangar, the transponder antenna rod fell out and got lost so we replaced it with a $30 TED antenna from Aircraft Spruce. Well a few days ago I was pre-flighting and gave the ADS-B antenna a nudge and it was very...

    Can we get a dark color scheme for night flight?

    Even with the display set to the dimmest value, it's still distractingly bright at night. There's the bright blue and tan of synthetic vision and the really bright yellow/red of the vector map. I assume the LED backlights can't be dimmed more so the alternative is an optional dark color scheme...

    Sidetone > 0 results in beacon/strobe noise

    This may not be a Dynon issue, but I've always had beacon and strobe noise coming through the radio; they both occur even with the intercom off. However yesterday I discovered that if I set sidetone volume to 0% then they go away completely. Of course that also means I have no sidetone when...

    I would love directional traffic announcements

    When nearby traffic pops up on screen, it verbally announces "TRAFFIC" and says so on the screen as well. However since it knows where the traffic is, and what my magnetic heading is, I would like it to announce the traffic direction relative to me, at least optionally. For example "TRAFFIC 7 O...

    My voice is really hard to hear when transmitting

    My helmet/headset has a 150-ohm microphone impedance and my voice is really quiet and hard to hear when transmitting over the radio, although the intercom picks up my speech without any issue. Also, when doing the gain test in radio setup, it always says "LOW" no matter what gain I use (even...

    Highway numbers? (e.g. US 1, I-80, SR 52, etc.)

    It's really common for ATC to direct me to fly over a specific highway, or make a turn over the highway, or to report when I've crossed over a specific highway. I've only used the vector map so far, and while it can render highways, it does not ever seem to render their identifying numbers...

    Hard to tell if ADS-B traffic is above or below

    I discovered when transitioning over a busy airport that it can be almost impossible to tell the difference between + and - on a busy screen, so e.g. traffic listed as "-04" looks virtually identical to traffic listed as "+04". Can you please modify it so there is a more obvious indicator...

    I need rotor RPM added to my display

    I have the HDX suite in a gyroplane and I need a rotor RPM gauge added to the EMS screen. The rotor RPM is already wired up on pin 35 of the EMS if I remember correctly, and configured in the EMS setup already (i.e. 10 pulses per rev). I just don't know how to add it to the UI.

    Bug with bugs, and feature requests

    I've had a week so far to fly my new aircraft with a Dynon HDX and it's awesome, but I found a very minor bug with bugs and I had some feature requests too. The bug bug is that if you disable a bug, the digital indicator remains onscreen. For example with the airspeed bug disabled, I still get...

    Rotor RPM sensor input?

    I have a Rotax 912 and a rotor RPM sensor that is 5V. I am trying to figure out which EMS pin to use for the rotor RPM so I could display both values. Its voltage seems too low for 33 so should I use 35?

    Optional matte overlay?

    It's not installed yet but I'll be using the HDX in an open-cockpit aircraft. I saw a video recently that mentioned an upcoming matte screen overlay. Can you give us more details on it?

    The manual says winds aloft requires SV-MAG-236

    Page 4-20 of the HDX user manual states that the winds aloft calculation will not be displayed if the SV-MAG-236 (optional remote magnetometer) is not functional. Does that mean the remote magnetometer is required for winds aloft (as opposed to the integrated one) or is it a mistake in the...

    Request - map info column: distance to airspace

    I don't have my HDX yet but I was perusing the manual which is now online. I expect to usually use the PFD fullscreen with the map info column and EMS band. I notice the map info column shows lat/lon (as shown in first attachment) but that seems pretty useless. How about replacing it with...
