VP-X not supported on Dynon Skyview HDX
So, I've got my HDX1100 on order and have been waiting for Dynon to release the installation guide for it - was finally posted yesterday. Going over it a bit today and hit a very unwelcome surprise.
From the manual: Quote:
Anyone have any ideas on what's going on? |
Not official but
when I spoke with Dynon at The Deland Sport Aviation Showcase earlier this month, it was mentioned that the VP-X support should be expected in a coming software update. I am certainly hoping so.

Why the VPX attraction?
I've mentioned a few times I'm one of those nerd engineers that never understood the value of the VPX line of products. I see it as an expensive solution looking for a problem. That said, a lot of people swear by them.
I did look at how to use the product and avoid single failure risks, but always ended up with approaches that required two VPX units. That price tag makes breakers look good. As I use the the Dynon AP module that provides automatic trim functions and the stock Show Plane flap controller that comes with the RV-10 kit, not much else left to do other than simple breakers and switches. Carl Nomex on for the anticipated flames. |

I agree with you Carl, but prefer fuses.

Just a side note: Why does Dynon charge for a VPX software license when the other EFIS makers don't? Just say'n..
|
Same reason other EFIS manufacturers charge for aviation and obstacle databases and Dynon doesn't ;)
