Yes Paul, thanks I see it there now. I wanted it on the top row of options, but
will have to bump something from the siderow instead. Bob

fuel flow is already available as a data block. That is, assuming that you are getting fuel flow data to the IFD from your engine monitor or fuel totalizer.

Steve, Is it possible through software upgrade to allow
fuel flow to be one of the display options? Bob

Hello Steve,
Wondering when the new software will be released? I've a certified aircraft and i've recently installed IFD 540 running G3X touch, Garmin GFC500 autopilot. Rumor has it the new software will integrate the VNAV functionality with the GFC500. Thank you

Pricing isn't available yet. I doubt there would be a difference for 400 vs 500 series.

Any chance of a hint about the price of the paid option before the actual 10.3 release, just for budgeting purposes? Same for both 540/440?

Ah, OK. So there will be 2x hardware variants of each model then, one supporting high res terrain, one not?
I assume this is storage memory only, and the upgrade doesn't affect anything else at all, improve performance in any other areas? For coverage for the high res terrain... What geographic areas are covered? Thanks, Colin

It would still be a paid option even on new units. It's neither soldered nor field replaceable - the unit would have to be returned for the upgrade.

Hi Steve, can you post a picture of an IFD540 with standard res terrain side by side with the high res terrain?
I'm interested in seeing the differences.

OK - so when 10.3 is released, will units start shipping with the larger memory, or will the high res terrain become a paid hardware option even on new units?
When you say larger memory....is this soldered to a board, or an SD card that is field replaceable?
Thanks, Colin |

The improvement is to allow support for high-res terrain. Current res terrain (which is pretty good) will still be supported. This would be an actual hardware upgrade to increase memory size. IFDs are not being shipped with the larger memory.

We're considering purchasing a few IFD units in the next few months to go along with Dynon SkyView HDX systems, and it would of course be ideal if 10.3 is out by whenever the purchase happens. If it's not though, this last point raises some questions-
This paid hardware upgrade - is this just an enablement code, or is this an actual hardware upgrade? What is involved? Do currently shipping units (pre 10.3) already incorporate the upgraded hardware? Thanks, Colin Pazdzior

Also, it definitely didn't make it before year-end 2019 as was previously indirectly suggested at the beginning of 2019 ... maybe by 2022? ;-)

Hey Steve - now that December is upon us, just curious if you have any update on 10.3? I know in the webinar several months back they (you or Dan) mentioned by the end of the year. Just seeing if you're still on track to meet that target.
Thanks

Dan Schwinn alluded to the end of the year for 10.3, in a recent SocialFlight interview. He also mentioned that staff have a script to use, when asked about target dates. * Orest

What you mean release dates get missed? Oh the horrors. :) Seriously I was listening to one of the Avidyne Webinar's that was titled "Upgrading your GPS to IFD" and they did say that 10.3 is expected by the end of the year. Not sure when that Webinar was first recorded.

That information is never given anymore. There’s been too many times when people were disappointed if circumstances prevented meeting a date.

Is there actually any date as to when 10.3 will be released. 1 month? 3? Next year?

The link for the webinar is below but it took a couple of sign up pages to get to it. First sign up for the webinar (even though it is in the past). It will take you to the register page where you can then view it. https://www.avidyne.com/avidyne-training/#tab-id-1 Also, a few weeks ago Dan Schwinn appeared on Social Flight. It was also very interesting. The link to that on You Tube is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HKZfAL_KX4#action=share

That's great Steve! I joined the webinar midway (when Dan was answering questions) and must have missed this part. Thanks for the sneak peak. Looks like it should be great update.

10.3 is still underway. It's grown in scope, so between that and virus related delays, it's just taking longer than we expected or wanted it to. Nevertheless, here are the features I mentioned in last night's webinar.

No update I can share. We're still working on it though. Most things are pretty close, but a few really important things are just taking a little longer than we expected (and longer than we'd like).

I understand the sentiment, but I'd rather wait until 10.3 is out before doing that. Until then, continue to use the "Suggestions for 10.3" topic. When the time comes to create such a new thread, I'll seed it with the stuff from the 10.3 thread that didn't make the cut.

Steve, could you start a suggestion thread for 10.4?
Of course, not knowing what is now locked into 10.3 is a bit of a challenge. But there are already some features that are definitely NOT in 10.3 that should be on the radar for the next release. If you already know some that have missed 10.3 but are candidates for later, that would be nice to know even if it will be a disappointment. As you know, I'm chaffing at the bit for RF legs, which would be a huge help for my home field.... good to hear that will definitely be in 10.3. But the next big thing on my wish list is IFD remote support for the new uAvionix taliBeaconX 1090ES ADS-B with diversity transponder. It should approved for certified aircraft installation by spring, and prompt Avidyne support would be very nice, given that diversity doesn't seem to be on the radar for the AXP 322. Don't know what the software effort would be, but it only needs a 2-wire RS232 connection. Edited by chflyer - 04 Mar 2020 at 1:36pm |

+++1 I believe there are ARINC 429 labels for horizontal and vertical guidance to which the TT/AeroCruze 100 responds. I.e., Aspen or Dynon mode which have heading and ALT/VS bug integration. Adding VLOC guidance may or may not be a present capability in the that A/P.

As far as I can tell, the TruTrak is driven by digital data, the IFD could convert the VOR and ILS signals to data that the TruTrak could input. It's not due to a lack of RF ports on the TruTrak, the VOR CDI doesn't have RF ports on it either. The IFD is already a digital NAV receiver so outputting VOR and ILS digitally to TruTrak should be doable. I think there is a market for those who will move to the GFC 500 and G5 (likely dual G5). When you start adding that much G* stuff to your panel, it's hard to see why you have an IFD instead of a GTN due to compatibility. With TruTrak and Avidyne's relationships with BendixKing, I was hoping they were going to work towards making the TruTrak closer of a competitor with the GFC500 without having to install an Aspen. That still leaves the G5, but AV-30 integration would take care of that. |

I realize that this is just off the press, but remote transponder support similar to the AXP322 for the uavionix tailBeaconX would really be super, given that Avidyne has no plans for a transponder with diversity.
Given resource limitations, Avidyne support for as much non-G* equipment as possible is important to Avidyne sales.

Do you have tighter integration with TruTrak on your feature wish list? Vertical Navigation, VOR and ILS input, heading input, etc?. Is there an easy way to get heading input into the IFD without a PFD or G5?
Do you have AV-30 integration on the feature wish list? Thanks for all the continued work and updates.

It is great to think about what other enhancements might come through software enablement of new features.
Nice to think there may be more things the boxes can do. Thanks, Avi!
