As I said in my first post, I neither own an aircraft nor a PAW (YET) but I am extremely interested in the development and the ideas for this kit. Selfishly, I am most interested in things that might affect me in the future.
To this end, would it be possible to be able set the filters within the PAW kit itself, in addition to being able to do it on the 3rd party equipment. If one is already able to this then please accept my humble apologies and I will scuttle back under my stone.
I ask this because I was particularly interested in Carlos being able to get the PAW information onto his MGL iEFIS but there is, as I understand it, no function for adding filters, so it sounds like he gets to enjoy seeing everything that PAW sees. Reading this forum, it would appear the same can be said of some of the nav displays out there, such as XC Soar.
If one were able to access the PAW Configuration Home screen (the 192.168. Numbers, numbers, numbers thingy) and set the filters there, then they could then enjoy the advantages of the filters on any EFIS (and I’m pretty certain you’ll see a lot more people going that way, so I’m helping to future proof
) and the XC Soar etc people can do the same.
For Sky Demon owners etc, then they just carry on as they are or, if they really had filters that never changed, they could set them in the Home screen. Unnecessary, I know because it’s easy to do in the 3rd party gear.
I do appreciate that being able to change the filters in flight, as per Sky Demon, is a huge plus and it may not be quite as easy, or impossible, to do so (I don’t actually know) on the Configuration screen in flight but I think if you could set ‘permanent’ filters (for that flight, at least) into your EFIS or XC Soar through PAW then that would be a BIG plus. It certainly would be for me….the guy without any of this kit.
