Skyview 15.0.4

[D&M Dan]

Has anyone downloaded and installed the Skyview 15.0.4 update from the Dynon website dated 12/13/2016? If so did you use the version with or without custom engine sensor definitions?
I am new to updating the Dynon software and not sure if I should wait for Van's to make it available or go with the latest from Dynon.

Dan-

My suggestion is to wait for the Van's version unless you know there is a feature or fix you need NOW.

The Van's version will have all the correct configurations selected for you and you will likely just only need to tweak the autopilot settings and fuel flow settings to what you have currently selected now.

Happy flying,

Excerpt from SV presets read me document available on Van's web site.

NOTE: Using the Dynon Quick Update / Software If you download a software level from Van’s Aircraft you may
install the equivalent software level from Dynon. This may be useful when installing the Quick Update Package
from Dynon that includes the latest Aviation, Obstacles TFR Database etc… Files that are redundant between the
Van’s and Dynon updates will be ignored during the second installation. Although these may be installed in any order it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you wait until the approved Van’s Aircraft has been released.
Van’s Aircraft files include changes to settings that may be required with new software. This will also allow time for
discovery and vetting of incompatibilities between new software and the RV-12…although this is no guarantee we
will find all problems, let us know if you find any and we will work on them as priority and time permits.

This is being worked on and the new software should be posted to the web site soon.

Perhaps I missed it, has Vans approved it yet? When we do upload this version is it suggested to write down the current AP and Fuel Flow settings?

Looks like SV 15.0.4 software and RV-12 settings are available on the Vans web site in the usual location.

Looks like it has been at the Van's site for almost a month now, and no discussion, questions, or issues. Either it is running flawlessly or no one has installed the upgrade yet. I won't be the first!

I'm ready with drive in hand to give it go. Will write the unique AP settings first as the VANS download site suggests.

Correct me if I'm wrong about this folks ... but it is my understanding that the current SkyView settings can be saved to a flash drive prior to installing an update. Should a setting(s) get changed by the software update, the settings file saved prior to the update can then be loaded back from the flash drive if desired.

In my desire to have the extended runway center lines and glide circle I jumped on Van's v15. Should have wrote down my unique AP settings. Hope I can recover my butter smooth AP performance with previous saved system settings, otherwise it's back to the Dynon AP setting adjustment process. Not sure if Fuel flow meter was affected.

Anyone reinstall AP settings off of a previous thumb drive?

I don't think my SkyView settings have changed when I updated the system. Are you sure yours have changed?
