Re: Waypoint memory after power cycle

I did the above mentioned checks using a Challenger lite on my desk. You mentioned the class D/E setting - that is also in battery backed RAM. I wonder if there is not some kind of actual hardware fault, perhaps intermittent. But so far all (except for the delay you mentioned) points to the battery ...

Re: Waypoint memory after power cycle

The EFIS stores the current waypoint information and also the location where you activated it from in battery backed RAM in the EFIS. Hobbs etc are also stored there unless you have an iBOX - in that case that sort of information is stored in the iBOX. The icons work fine (just tried it here) and al...

Re: Domain

Yes - it is a parked domain, it is not available to take. Seems it is put into that status automatically after a while. Bill says it is paid up for a while still... Probably don't need it though - our new home is gathering members quite fast, many of the login names are very familiar so the usual su...

Re: Domain

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.

Re: New MGL Avionics user forum

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...

Re: Spam bots

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. Mostly Russian bots - they have no issue getting around the the captha's it seems. Even the list of questions I made u...

Re: V16 setup instructions

Easiest way is to tune radio to an unused frequency, talk into the mic and note the level of your side tone in the headset when pressing PTT or not pressing PTT. If the loudness sounds the same the level is good. If it is different - adjust the MIC input level until it is the same. TX uses automatic...

Re: Waypoint memory after power cycle

I have a challenger that has a couple items that do not work the same way the simulator does. 1. The simulator retains the last waypoint when you shut down the simulator. My challenger looses the waypoint if it is power cycled. I there a way to make it retain the last waypoint after a power cycle? ...

Re: Spam bots

Spam bots still getting through. No idea how they get past the Captcha. I have now changed this to a simple Q&A and the first post of a new registration needs to be approved before it is visible. That way at least I can kill the spam before it floods the forum. Let's see how that goes - does require...

Re: G meter reset

No, I never included anything that would do that - just adding it now for next release. Will be a touch field - so just place the invisible touch field on your readout - then touching it will do the reset.
