ABQ CTLS Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I received an email today from Dave Armando (Flight Design - director of maintenance) and he said Skyview version 11.1 would be released by the end of the month for us to use in our CT's. The actual quote from his email: "The newest version 11.1 will be out by the end of the month and the Beta tests have solved alot of issues and will provide greater access to settings for you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABQ CTLS Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I am having software problems so I sent Dave Armando an email. In addressing my problems he suggested I could just wait until the newest software release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Jefts Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I heard the "end of the month" ever since Sept 2014. Let's hope this one works. I seriously doubt if they will allow all the Dynon's capability. The last change, 6.2, severely limited the dynon's capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhelmich Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 In Germany, the 11.1 Version is approved by flight design for LSA. It is already installed in my plane. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is already installed in my plane. :-) Is it the "off the shelf" version of 11.1 from Dynon or a "messaged" version from FD?As of this posting, the only version available on the FD site is still 6.2. As stated before, Dynon just released version 12.0 to all other users. 11.1 will be a leap for US customers, but still behind real time update.

dhelmich Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 This version was installed from FD itself together with Skyview Touch. Therefore it is the offical version.

No. FD USA has not okay'd loading this version for older Dynon Skyviews. We customers in the USA are waiting for the email notification from the company and the new version loaded onto the FD USA website for downloading.

Adaksct Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 It is now June, does anyone have any news on the Skyview update from 6.2 to anything ? Europe at 12.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZAV8OR Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I just emailed Mat Fortin at FDUSA (he's been helping me with a Garmin warranty issue), asking for an update. Will post what I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbigs Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 You can get the update from Lone Mountain in Las Vegas...11.1 They are still testing 12.2 so no one should make that update on their own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Bill Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Just curious, does anyone know the reason why FDUSA controls the release of SKYVIEW software updates and doesn't go with the DYNON releases when and as issued? I fly an '08 CTLS that the original owner had converted from original 100/120s to SV700s a year after purchase and SKYVIEW came available. The plane has legally flown for 600 hrs since without issues with current SKYVIEW software updated from the DYNON website as released. I've never understood the reason for flying without the most current upgrades available. There must be a reason but can't FD somehow fix it?

Roger Lee Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Short answer is ASTM standards under which LSA operate here in the US.. Changes and alterations of aircraft operating systems and functions have to be approved by the MFG which needs to have some testing with that operating system. It can't be just a stroke of the pen or just a verbal go ahead. Needs documentation to show the authorities. The reason early on with the old Dynon's that we all used to update when we wanted was nobody knew the extent of the standards. Now they do.

Doug G. Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 In my ignorance I updated to 6.2 on my own when it came out from Dynon. When FD came out with their version it would not install. I went through a number of hassles to get it to work correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Bill Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 FYI: DYNON released v12.2 on 4/28. For those interested here's a link to a running list of enhancements with each subsequent release. http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/WhatsNew_SkyView.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cat Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I have 12.2 in my Vans RV-12 and Vans review the update for items particular to their planes. I think FD is probably doing the same thing, maybe not as fast. Just installed the WiFi adapter which works very well with fore flight on iPad to offer new options, pretty cool.
