As Scott suggests, I'll try and see what happens. I have the wifi plugged into the back and use the external for charts and updating. Dynon is clear that any data USB must be removed prior.

I've installed 14.2.1 with GPS 2020 and WiFi dongle installed with no problem but I used the 14.2.1 from Dynon, not Van's. Don't know if that would make a difference or not.

Note that only one USB flash drive memory stick can be connected to a SkyView display at a time. However, the Video Input and Wi-Fi Adapters can be plugged in simultaneously and at the same time as a USB flash drive.
You do not need to unplug Wi-Fi or Video. The only issue is two "memory sticks" since SkyView has no way to tell it which one you want it to use, so it just chooses the first one it finds, which leads to lots of confusion. The system doesn't try and access files on the Wi-Fi or video devices so having those plugged in isn't an issue.

I uploaded SV 14.1 last week and that was a piece of cake too....but I'll have to go back into that for the BPS 2020 ADS-B 1470 presets once the antenna is installed.

Have you installed this stuff?

EBB
Not yet. Going to install SV 14.2.1 next time I'm at hanger and will contemplate the 2020GPS kit from Vans after that.

I installed 14.2 from Dynon yesterday and it seems to work fine except it cannot find any of the Seattle Avionics sectional charts I have also on the same USB sticks...always worked in the past.

I'll try a clean format and install of the USB sticks using SA data manager and see if that fixes the problem.

Had one ghosting traffic alert incident I think was me dropping down hard out of 10500 on the other side of the PHX TRSA ()

John,
Did you manually update the transponder? You'll still get ghosts until you do that.

Also, did you leave the update stick plugged in? That will block the SA charts from showing. You shouldn't need to update your SA sticks for them to work on 14.2.

SkyView does not show trim on the PFD, this is only displayed on the EMS screen.

Yes, I did the update and everything reset and the charts were not showing - no I did not unplug the sticks, but I had the update file on the same stick as the charts...so you are saying I can plug the USB sticks back in before the next startup and they should read fine?

I usually leave the the updates for Dynon on the SA formatted discs and when the update is finished, they seem to find the charts.

No I did not update the transponder but will (I did previously update on 14.1)

So I have 2 touches and left both wifi dongles attached in the back, and both USB sticks with updates in when I did the update (Dynon not Vans), but other than the Sea Av charts, everything seems to be working ok. Should i be worried?
