The Navigation Mapping and the Autopilot are obviously our two highest priorities, and we've already been working on them. But I do not have a firm date for either yet. In January we will post a schedule for these items.
We aren't trying to unnecessarily equivocate, but we are trying to be conservative in announcing dates. We would rather have customers pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed.

Robert,
Thank you for the answers. A couple more. Will it show traFFIC WHEN COUPLED TO A GTX 330 OR ZAON XRX? Would the display communicate with a stormscope such as wx500?

Right now it look like a big fancy moving map.
Very disappointining.<snip> But looking at the features that are not working right now I can not help but be reminded of Blue Mountain. At least they had many more promised features working when it was released. What would the reason be for shipping this before it was at least 75% functional?<snip>
I have seen this before...
He is allegedly #4 on the delivery list so I assumed Stein would have received and shipped his by now. Still no EFIS and we are over 2 weeks out from "skyview is shipping"
I don't think any other EFIS manufacturer out there is so open about their development path and feature set.
That is mostly true. I bought your EFIS, EMS, and autopilot partially because of the promise the AP76 would soon be released. Now it seems it's on indefinite hold. "
I am no new comer to the EFIS world. I bought into the Blue Mountain with the G4. Exact same thing.. They were very reputable at the time and had cutting edge products. They promised future features if we only would buy from them now. Things change in the course of well place plans. Look at your AP76. Sure you guys at Dynon had a justifiable reason to scrap that product but not after affecting customers and suppliers. Promises are worthless.
I do not want to see additional pilots get burned by buying into Vaporware.
When the honeymoon is over after the release of your Skyview I can guarantee that you will have about 3 to 6 months before your customers begin to expect delivery of the major features like the AP and SL30/430 integration.
The guys at Blue Mountain had all the confidence in the world when they launched the G4 line just like you guys but found out very soon that the promised features were harder to implement. Not enough horse power, buggy code, unreal expectations, what ever.. Customers got impatient, cash flow slowed, the lies got bigger and bigger,
I really hope your EFIS is a real success. I really do! Just be careful..
I just do not understand why it was released so soon.
Yes, that is true, we did make a mistake promising a date for the AP76..... We do continue to encourage folks to buy based on what they need when they need it, which is one of the reasons we have never taken a customer's money until we ship.
Well, I guess the good news (for me) from this is that I learned a lesson. The Skyview system looks really nice. However I won't upgrade until the features that I desire are working and debugged. From what I've been reading that's a good 2 years out.

And happily for me...........
I have both TruTrack and Trio autopilots, as well as a Garmin 696 to cover a few features that Skyview doesn't yet have. So I'm looking forward to replacing my "six pac" panel with the newest Skyview instead of the older Dynon offerings.

Dual autopilots in one home built airplane?
Is that like "building in" a back seat driver?
One of each....................for a 2 axis system. Trutrak alt/ Trio wing leveler
