New Hudly
The new wireless Hudly has a computer stick plugged into its HDMI port. Does it make sense to load the GRT app directly onto this stick?

I flew 18's a long time ago. It had HUD which was a pleasure to fly off of. But it was focused to infinity. About 4 years ago I was in a different airlines simulator flying a 737 with a HUD (ours don't have HUD's). I used it for a few landings.
There was something that bothered me about it that made it uncomfortable to use. I finally realized that it was focused a few feet in front of the windscreen. The F-18's was focused to infinity. The airline HUD's are used primarily for CAT III approaches. I haven't seen that many pilots use them for anything else. I am sure there is a reason Boeing chose the focus they did, but it made it uncomfortable to use for normal flying. Is the HUDLY focused at infinity, or a short distance? |

The only benefit I see is that when using it for a map or something, you don't have to look away from the road to see it... You refocus on it to see content, but your peripheral vision still picks up movement around it. Not as good as not having to re-focus, but better than looking down at the dash. |
Perhaps I missed it in an earlier post - if so, please accept my apologies for duplication.
http://grtavionics.com/kivic-and-epi...now-supported/ GRT now supports other HUDS, including one focused at infinity, the Epic. |

![]() Initial install of my Hudly wireless, except I have it hardwired to my computer stick with an HDMI cable. Haven't completed it yet, but I plan to velcro the unit to the glare shield in its current position. The Hudly comes with a slick pedestal mount that would adapt to car dashes very well, but seems to me would be prone to vibration in an aviation environment. Hope to fly behind it soon. "That's Hudly.......Hudly Lamar!" :D |
AOA on HUD

I really hope that they add the AOA - that's the critical bit of info to have in the HUD during landing. |
GRT app
Dumb question-does the GRT app work stand-alone, or does it require the GRT glass panel? I am Dynon-specific, but have received my Hudly. Trying to figure out how to use it in my bird.
