Re: Black Box Viewer Data Recording Issues

Thanks, Rob, Now that I know what I should have been looking for, it seems I didn't scroll down the TOOLS Page far enough. Using the correct software makes a difference. The BBTool loads my .DAT file and reports "Imported 3 Flights". So far, so good. I have checked a number of PRIMARY FLIGHT and RDA...

Re: Black Box Viewer Data Recording Issues

Thanks for the reply.
Is there anything in the summary in my original posting that I am missing?
I am guessing that I need to enable something that I am not aware of.
How/Where do you enable the additional data channels?
Thanks, Bill

This is probably not going to help but...

Re: MX1 Nearest Airports Function

I believe you now have a GPS antenna attached to the MX1. Have you tried making the INT GPS the default? I am still favoring a GPS issue. If the GPS is showing RAIM: NON-PREC; something is wrong. Once you acquire at least 5 satellites, you should show RAIM: PRECISION. Have you requested an FAA PAPR ...

Re: MX1 Nearest Airports Function

In looking at the video, it appears you are not tapping close enough to the airports. You may need to be spot-on for it to work. I do not have an MX1, but an Explorer, but both use the G3 operating system. This is how I do it ... Instead of tapping on the Map and PANing, tap on NAV, and then NEAREST...

Re: MX1 Nearest Airports Function

I am just guessing here, but, The MX1 may try to use its internal GPS for the airport functions.

Also, have a look at your settings in ...

Re: MX1 Nearest Airports Function

It sounds like a GPS problem. If it doesn't know where you are, it can't tell you what's nearby. Are you tracking at least 4 satellites; Ideally 5 to 9 This is not going to work inside a hangar. The GPS ITEM should be displaying RAIM: PRECISION. When displaying the MOVING MAP page, is the location c...

The Flight Log (Foilio) has 50+ Entries and is readable. The Internal Recording successfully transferred ...
