Another efis update
I ve installed the efis in my plane, even flew around with it. The biggest problem is the hard drive. The thing cuts out when I take off. Perhaps its the change in pressure. I've ordered a nano-itx mobo with a CF slot. So ill be running all solid state, which should cure my problem.
The software has come along pretty far. I made a pipeline that consumes and compresses airport data directly from the FAA. The touch screen works well. Im able to scroll the map with just a finger swipe. Tapping an airport shows its data, including a runway diagram.
Once I get set up with new computer and fly a bit, ill be adding airspaces. Then the next thing is to redo the engine monitor.
