SNAP shots with split screen
OK, kind of back to the OP topic, which is screenshots of the HXr.
GRT last week released an upgrade to the software and a couple of the features deserve noting.
First is the new split screen that gives you a large PFD on the left and a large, readable map on the right. You turn this on by selecting the SCREEN softkey, and then PFD options. There you'll find the SPLIT option and options for the EGT/CHT or the HSI.
You'll notice that I don't have any glare because of my lousy phone photography. This is a screen snap shot. That's another of the really neat features of this latest update. You can see the SNAP softkey. That's turned on in the SETUP menu, Display options.
In this first shot, you'll note that the FD is on, AP is engaged in ENAV/ALT HLD.
Also, note how the heading indications are now along the bottom of the PFD instead of at the top. The red bugs indicate desired/actual TRK and the white bugs indicate selected/actual HDG. Same on the MAP arc.
Also new is the ability to have the ENG info displayed across the bottom of the screen. One option that I didn't get a photo of is the ability to remove the CHT/EGT bars and replace it with an HSI.
In this next snapshot I have ranged out to show how the ADSB weather indicates hatch marks past 250 miles. You'll also not that I'm running LOP as indicated by the little L and the boxes around the EGT's. Pretty efficient running 6.7gph and 165kt GS.
I thought this was a neat capture because Im in formation with a couple other planes and you can see them indicated at traffic. For you safety officers I was in extended trail getting ready to execute a rejoin here. Not close to the other planes
A couple more and I'll quit. On this one I'm headed home to Dahlonega. I had to file to KGVL and start the approach there and then brake off and head to 9A0. You can tell I was racing the approaching storm system. I was in the clear the entire descent and all the way to 9A0. Just looking at the WX on screen I would have bailed out, but as we used to say, 1 peek is worth a thousand sweeps".
I have found that the ADSB indications appear for the most part to paint a worse picture than XM did. Just my perception, but I'll always go take a look if I have an out.
This last one shows me on the ramp at Dahlonega. Arrived in VMC and calm winds, opened the hangar door while taxiing in and turned around to see the storms just north of my. About 5 minutes later the bottom fell out.
