Hello,
We released G3X Touch Version 8.70 to the software download area today. Please note from the list at the bottom that many system LRU's have new software. After updating the software in the PFD1 with the SD card, the display will reset, and at that time it is best to hold down on the Menu button while it starts up in Configuration mode. Go to the System Information page on the PFD1 and watch all devices completing the software update before taking the PFD1 out of configuration mode and verifying proper operation for the updated system.
There are a number of new features included in this update, as well some behind the scenes improvements to improve system function and reliability.

Add support for up to six displays (PFD1-3 and MFD1-3)
Add ability to schedule fuel tank reminder based on fuel quantity used

There are a number of new features included in this update, as well some behind the scenes improvements to improve system function and reliability.
- Support NAV Radio station identification and authentication. We modified the radio button field to shift the radio title and display a decoded station identifier to the right of the title if the station is correctly decoded and matched to the internal database.
- Allow fuel tank alarm to be volume driven, rather than time based. This function requires a fuel flow sensor to be installed in the aircraft. The default setting is time based, but can be changed by pressing Menu twice, choosing setup, and then Alarms.
- Added engine cycle counter. This will work for both turbine and piston engines. Engine cycle count is driven off of RPM and airborne state. Display must remain powered through engine shutdown for the cycle count to increase. Cycle count is visible in the Engine and Airframe configuration menu, under settings, as well as on the ENG page of the MFD.
- Support for TAS based speed scheduled trim. This is defaulted to IAS, but can be changed to TAS in configuration mode.
- Added support for GTX 3X5 diversity transponders.
- Support for up to 6 GDU's, which required adding config ID pin assignments for PFD3 and MFD3.
- Density altitude limit decreased beyond -1000 feet.
- Included GSU 25D support up to 55,000 feet. This requires a MOD 1 GSU 25D.
- Fixed Flitecharts update nuisance message.
- Fixed TEL button display when GMA 245 is being used for a phone call.
- Fixed IAS Limit for GSU 25D.
- Fixed ATZ designation on moving map.
