I don't think I've seen the % power calculated values in the download file from my D120 - are these available? If not, could they be added?
I recognise I can just use MAP, fuel flow etc, but I am keen to cross check some results.

They're not in there, unfortunately. For a variety of reasons, the data download formats aren't likely to change on the D10/D100 series products at this point.

Yes it looks like the product line has since moved away from further investments in the D10/D100 series products.   I just hope they will at least be supported for the next decade or more, I don't want to redo my whole panel just yet!

Rhetoric this may be, and although I'm a young guy, I don't enjoy the "information overload" on the modern moving map/EFIS/EMS combination displays which everyone is pushing. I find the jumble of information hard to interpret quickly and easily, and the cost of the terrain maps and upkeep of the airspace etc from Jeppsenn etc, it all costs money every year. Especially in an environment where the financial and regulatory barriers to entry for IFR flight are growing ever-greater to the individual pilot, I think basic electronic VFR instruments will have some future in the market.  I do think the modular design aspects of Skyview are a really good idea.
