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

[airguy]

got a note about a new data manger coming that was in beta, I volunteered months ago….nothing

Same here - for myself and Bill Repucci, we are both long time beta testers. Volunteered for it, were told we would be contacted "next week" and now two months later, crickets....

I have been vocal in the past about the bleeding abortion that the current SA software is. I would dearly love to be just as vocal about how good the new version is - but they won't release it.

FWIW, yes, I volunteered to beta test the new vaporware, and never heard a peep from SA.

The new vaporware from SA has been released to a few beta-testers, myself included. Overall I don't see much change except they fixed a bug that was granting access to FlyQ users to all other types of data - so they were only covering their own butt revenue-wise on this software change.

There is one thing different that I would like Dynon's opinion on before I got stick one of their USB's in my panel though - the new software generates a Dynon .DUC file on the USB, 6 kilobytes, I want to know what that is for. Are we tracking the dates of the databases now for possible autoload?

Example file is attached here.

It looks like that's probably a bug, but their intent to grab the current data off of our website and deposit it on the stick so that it can be loaded in the normal way. That file is definitely megabytes though, not kilobytes.
