Stormscope

I have been reading through the manual as I just ordered two boxes but I can't find any mention with a Stormscope integration. Will the IFDs accept the WX500 data and display it like on the Garmin?

Feature request:

Could we have some indication someplace (is this there already?) where it shows that that stormscope data is being received / that the stormscope is working.

I would like some positive indication that it is working and being displayed. I mean other than the lack of lightning bolts.

Something like on a setup page. Or a positive like the "XM WX n min"

Thanks,

Ken

I second the request that there shall be a menu dedicated to the stormscope. I haven't seen in the PG that there is a sub-menu for it, like on the Garmin, with the usual range rings and a mode to switch from cells to strike. A positive or negative acknowledgement of the functioning is absolutely necessary.

Thanks a lot. I am new so I have no idea what that means in terms of timing. Are we talking 10.3 or could it be 10.2.x?

Thanks

Now, that is amazing planning!

A dedicated traffic page would be nice too. In particular then you could provide the various control features that the GNS units provided for the TAS, that are missing in the IFDs.

I posted about that too, a little while, even did a little screen mockup, having it as one of the tabs on the MAP page. Don't know if it made the database.

Yes, this is in the database and a strong candidate for Rel 10.3. I completely disagree on this and the dedicated lightning page but you guys have beaten me into submission. Uncle.

It is really appreciated that you (Avidyne) at the very least, listens intently to your customers. And I mean that sincerely --- it is one of things that initially drew me to your company. The fact that several of my own suggestions, those that have been judged to be of merit, have already been implemented truly blows me away! Of course, everyone can't get everything that they want, but at least it is given serious consideration.

In demoing my IFD to other pilots, it really does make an impression on folks, to say that that little feature (whatever) was my suggestion.

Steve,

I want to emphasize what Orest expressed. It is truly appreciated and amazing to me that you (avidyne, but mostly you) take feedback from us on here. Because of this forum and this behavior, I have an avidyne cockpit. Please never loose sight of your customers.

Tony

And to you and the team, Jake. Happy Holidays and wishes for a great 2016

You can set cell/strike mode, and clear the display from the weather tab.

Thanks, Orest and Steve. Found it.
