Are there any plans to have an HSI display for the D100.

We're planning on having some kind of a virtual HSI function but have not yet fully defined what the feature will ultimately look like.

New HSI Screen Idea
Hi,
I have been watching Dynon’s products for quite a while and have been fairly impressed with the available units. I am building an aircraft of my own design and have been tossing around all the possible panel configurations and vendors and systems and prices and so on. What I have found to be most disappointing about your current systems is that there is a lack of heading and course information. Last night as I slept I dreamt of (and now propose) a D100 rotated 90* with the normal D10A display over a conventional EHSI. The EHSI would include a heading bug and conventional CDI and GS indicators. This would probably require a rotary knob for setting course and heading (could also be used for Baro. Set). From an uneducated standpoint this doesn’t seem like such a large development task. I believe that you already have the gyro and Mag. Compass for the heading. So all that seems to be required is the knob, an input for the CDI/GS and a left-right output for an AP! (Like it’s that simple!
) Icing on the cake would be automatic course tuning from the GPS (if such a thing exists). Also and even better would be a flight director (not the highway in the sky junk but a real FD cue).
That said and all the work on your part aside. I believe that would complete all the necessary components for a well built IFR sweet. If you can deliver this then builders would not be required to invest in vacuum systems, HSI’s or separate indicators. Therefore greatly reducing cost and complexity of building as well as increasing reliability (at least in the AHRS department).
Any hoo, just and idea but if you would build one I would buy it and I bet others would too.

I am very impressed with Dynon's products, but I would also like some kind of course information displayed directly on the EFIS. Perhaps you couuld have an input from a GPS that would display course information in the form of HITS (Highway In The Sky) or CDI bars. A Heading bug would also be great.
If I was king of Dynon for a day, which unfortunately I am not, I would not get too fancy with more navigation features as some of the other EFIS manufacturers have. With only HITS or CDI display input, I can leave the navigating to my dedicated navigation device, and follow a course that it provides and let the EFIS provide aircraft attitude information.
Just a thought.

I have to agree... as I plan an F1 Rocket panel, I envision 2 D100 size units stacked... the top pure D100, the bottom the EMS 100 that also will display course and simple moving map from GPS input. This would give me everything I need, plus redundancy with two screens...assuming I could move displays between units...boy would that be the cats meow!!!!
Build it and I will buy!
Thanks
