Hi folks,
We're pleased to announce that software version 8.30 for the G3X system is now available on our website. This update adds support for some new engine sensors for Rotax applications, as well as adding two features that some of our more high-velocity customers have been asking for:
Dual-Cue Flight Director - The vocal crowd of jet-drivers and ex-jet captains should be pleased to know that the depiction of the flight director on the PFD is now user-selectable between the existing single-cue ("bat wings") style, and the alternate dual-cue ("cross-pointer") style. So if you are used to flying with a dual-cue flight director, you're in luck!
Mach Reference Speeds - Perhaps not quite as applicable to the typical RV, but appreciated by our turbine friends, is the ability to configure reference speeds as either indicated airspeeds or Mach numbers. This includes Mmo and up to four custom Mach reference speeds, which are dynamically displayed on the airspeed tape at the appropriate position for your current pressure altitude.
We especially want to thank our loyal customers, who suggested both of these new feature additions. We try to listen to requests from the field and respond with new software enhancements as we're able, so keep the feedback coming!
As with all G3X system software, this update is free. To see the complete change list and to download the free G3X 8.30 software installer, click here.
thanks,
- Matt
