I have an SV1000T and love it. I'm actually not sure, based on what I see in the specs, that I'd go with the newer HDX even if I was starting out now. I like the interface of the SV Touch, but I also find I'm split most of the time about 60/40 in favor of the buttons and knobs, just going by how often I use either interface method (buttons/knobs vs. touch). I'm also not real sold on the little "shelf" that sticks out from the panel, but maybe that's just because I haven't tried it...still, seems a departure from normal avionics to me.

But hey...to those who like it, I say go for it! I'm quite confident that Dynon will continue to upgrade/maintain the non-HDX line for a long time to come.

So an update here on HDX VP-X support:

Although we didn't have a firm time-frame for its addition before this week, we've always expected to have VP-X support on HDX.

We often plan feature order based on demand, and this thread - along with other feedback we've gotten - has helped us prioritize this. So thanks to your help, VP-X support on HDX is now on our shortlist and will be among the next round of features we add.

As for exact dates - we don't have ourselves scheduled out yet, but we typically do 4-5 major software releases a year, with smaller updates and fixes as needed. So without making promises, we'd expect VP-X support to land within the next few months.

Kicking myself for not just skipping to the end of this thread. Thanks Dynon! Looking forward to being able to use my VPX-Pro with HDX. I've got a few months of work to do before ordering my EFIS's anyway.

Great news Dynon! Thanks. Didn't really want to switch to a different brand.

Glad to read that the fuse/ECB debate continues almost 10 years after the release of the first VP product!

But I digress... First, glad to hear Dynon is committed to HDX support in a the near future.

The VP-X will operate just fine without an EFIS in the interim until the integration is supported. You won't have variable speed trim or flap overspeed protection or landing light wig wag or in-flight reset or current draw per circuit or device status, but you'll be able to turn everything on and off and the trim and flaps will operate in "dumb" mode. If there is a circuit fault, the device will simply be off, like blowing a fuse behind the panel. When you get back on the ground, plug in your PC and reset the fault. You could even fly with a laptop in the right seat if you wanted real time information and control. Not perfect but good enough for a short while, IMO.

Default Classic to HDX upgrade scenario?

So if you have an existing VPX license for a Skyview Classic EFIS display, then decide to upgrade to a Skyview HDX EFIS, will a new license need to be purchased, or can the previous license be carried over to the HDX?

Just give us a call and we will transfer your license over to the new HDX. We will need the serial number of the Classic and the HDX to transfer the license.
