I have been doing some searching around this site as well as on the internet generally, peeking into various vendors' web sites, etc. and haven't found a good answer to this:
What new options are there in the strike finder / storm scope market? The Insight Strike Finder is the only one that seems to still be in production, and it doesn't seem to offer any sort of option to provide data to a MFD. Most of the information I can find relates to very old designs such as the WX-500 (out of production, available on the used market at relatively high prices). It can interface with the GNS and GTN navigators (and probably the Avidyne navs as well).
Is anyone making a stormscope/strike finder that interfaces with modern MFDs such as the G3X or Dynon/Advanced systems?
I'm interested in this because it seems a good idea to have some sort of real time lightning detection as opposed to the delayed products offered by FIS-B and SiriusXM weather.
