WOW on Skyview version 12 and now the wifi adapter! But if you like this 5% EMS screen idea, please go to the Dynon forum link below and say so! This can be the next great enhancement. Please read the whole thing, the idea has had several refinements!

Oil Pres, Temp and Battery Volts/Amps on Top row.
Fuel Level, Pressure, and Flow, and Trim on second row.
CHT/EGT 3rd row.
Useful numbers at the top, with Stall and Spar Pins.

Post your arrangement!

Now, on the right hand side is something I am posting to the Dynon forum as a suggestion. For TAKEOFF and LANDING I like the 20% view. I like the context that the ranges provide. In CRUISE, I would really like a bigger PFD and Map but I do not like totally getting rid of the engine monitoring! This is a 5% wide strip (One-FOURTH the width of the standard one!) That would let the PFD and MAP both be 47.5% rather than 40%!

Note that the example is for a conventional RV with 2 fuel tanks and 4 CHT/EGT possibilities. Ignore the values of the numbers, this is a sizing-spacing example.

You can see all the numbers. I would add the coding of a green background when the number is in that part of the range (current widgets do not do that.) Comments are welcome on this too!
Oh - the pic on the left is not the STANDARD Van's 20% layout of instruments. I meant it is the standard 20% SIZE. The layout on it is my revision from Vans version.

I really like this 5% screen....info is easier to track (especially with back ground color changing from green); and I would have it flash if out of green...

For those that are comfortable rewriting the EMS files, I have detailed instructions to alter the widgets in ways not addressed in the Dynon manual.
The arc angles can be forced to begin/end where desired and also the thickness of the arcs/bars can be manipulated.



This is not my 20% screen just showing some possibilities.

I would dearly love your instructions. carterd@knology.net

Default Ess page

I couldn't agree more about a smaller ems page! I would love to see this someday. I love flying with all three pages but it's rough with a 7 inch so I find myself getting rid of the maps and using my tablet witch I dislike. If anyone finds a way to do this please let me know a 10% engine page would be ideal for cruise flight!

Above is the link for instruction to manipulate the coding of the 20% screen.

I for one prefer the 5% bar that Bill has suggested to the Dynon folks and have put my request in the Dynon blog several times.
All interested Dynon users should keep it alive at the Dynon blog.
