Request: CHT/EGT widget - graph CHTs!

[bbtapb]

As a feature request..

The current combined CHT/EGT widget focuses on absolute EGT, which isn't really that important.

Please re-work that widget so the graph primarily shows CHT, which is something to monitor in absolute values.

If anything, simply switching places of EGT and CHT would go a long way!

Thanks

I agree...this is a confusing widget and violates a lot of the rules for good man-machine interface. Having the *bar graph* portion associated with the items listed on the *right-hand side* (EGT) is just flat backwards, to begin with.

And as you state, I don't really care most of the time what the EGT absolute value is, but I most certainly care about CHTs...it would be far better to associate the bar graph portion with the CHT, labeled on the left, and let the little vertical bars (thinner would be nice, too) be associated with EGTs (labeled on the right).

Fully agree the absolute value of EGT is not relevant, only EGT as it relates to peak temperature. I fly LOP 90% of the time and find the current EGT Lean display a nice tool to make sure all cylinders are LOP and to verify cylinder injector balance is being maintained. CHT readout is required, but controlling CHT using EGT information is the reason to have this capability. As such, I would not want to see the current EGT display go away. I know the peak EGT for a given MP and RPM setting. This EGT absolute value readout lets me quickly set up LOP cruise.
