Updates

Post by gtmule »

I know there are a bunch of things on the list to update. I'm finally really close to flying after having my HXr living in a box for an embarassingly long time. I know your guys have a TON on your plate (including getting my mini-B built :) ) but I was wondering if you had an idea when a new software release would be out, we're at about 10 months since the last.

Features I know or care about having added.....
Using the GPS signal in the Skyradar USB connection as a backup GPS (http://www.grtavionics.com/forum/viewto ... f=23&t=144)
More screen options (PFD/Plate, etc)
TFR from skyradar (http://www.grtavionics.com/forum/viewto ... f=23&t=269)
Flight plan sequencing improvements (http://www.grtavionics.com/forum/viewto ... ?f=10&t=67)

And something that's bugged me: The non-utilization of most of the right-side buttons/knob when not using the remote xpdr or com radios. Seems like easy software changes to implement. Make the RHS buttons all dedicated to existing menu items that are frequently used, but buried in other menus (HSI options, A/P settings, etc). Maybe there's a reason not to, but I hate having to do a button dance to get to something when there's free buttons sitting over there.....

HXr software version 2 is on our web site now.

More screen options: we added the PFD/PLATE page.
Flight plan sequencing: We added the Go Direct function to resume the flight plan by going direct to any waypoint in the plan and sequencing from there.

SkyRadar as GPS source: not done.
TFR from ADS-B: not done.
Alternate use of right side buttons: not done.

What about animation of ADS-b radar images?

Not yet. We will do the TFR's and SkyRadar GPS first.
