CNv Discussion / Re: NavDisplay
« Last post by Evan Ludeman / T8 on July 17, 2018, 08:27:23 AM »
I'm keeping both displays in my cockpit....

The tape display on NAV is pretty handicapped.  It's true that I don't look at the orange needle very much, but I never use the tape display.  It's nice looking on the ground.  Not useful in flight. 

The rotary encoders are superior for many functions in flight, as well.  Audio volume, for instance.

I was able to load the current FlarmNet file yesterday.  The secret command is "Don't change the BFN files name from Data".  I had changed the name to something with the data so I would know how current it was.  Not a good idea I guess.
Thanks for the back up file Evan.  Glad I didn't have to use it as there are several new Flarms flying at Warner Springs, so a current file helped.

CNv Discussion / NavDisplay

If you choose to only "run" the NavDisplay,  what do you give up other than the pendulum needle?

Is it fair to say most new installations only use the NavDisplay?

Thanks for your reply.

I see the 57 mm analog vario is not on the sale list anymore.
Hope it will be replace by a 80 mm analog. But I doubt it.

Try the following .fln file.  This is the one I have been using in my CN2 for the last several months and it works for me.  If it also works for you, then I think we can conclude the problem is with the flarmnet files being distributed.

ClearNav Hardware Discussion / PTT Inoperative
« Last post by colton on July 09, 2018, 11:41:45 AM »
Last week PTT button on stick mounted 10 button remote worked and this week it stopped.  I can hear but cannot transmit.  I am guessing the PTT button just died.  For a short term fix we installed a separate single button switch to activate the radio to transmit. 

My question is how do you remove the existing remote from the top of the control stick.  It is NOT secured with mounting screws like I see on the new one on the ClearNav web site.  I have the old ClearNav wooden version.  Is the stick mounted remote just pressed into the top of the stick and I just need to somehow "pry" it out to replace it?  We tried to trace the wires for the PTT and they are buried pretty good so I am thinking it might just be easier to replace the stick mounted remote.
