Thanks for the headsup - just tried but it seems it is taken. It shows as available if you go to it - that might be a response caused by the server being inactive.

Believe me, we are trying. Bill Cherry ran the old forum for what feels like close to 20 years ? It's actually amazing it ran this long on an old PC and using by now ancient software. Bill is trying to resurrect the server - hopefully for long enough so we can try and extract all the valuable inform...

Easy to weed them out now - but I need to approve first posts so that causes delays for users to get onto the forum. Will hunt around and try alternate solutions if I find anything.

The MGL Avionics user forum at mglavionicsusers.org is no more ! After many years of faithful support this forum is offline. It was a true user run forum run by MGL supporter Bill Cherry. Bill's health has taken a turn for the worse five years ago but he steadfastly maintained the user forum since. ...

Each set consist of the MX1OPSFW and MX1FW file for the EFIS itself and the matching simulator you can use to design your own screens. You can change between Portrait and Landscape m...
