Title: How to install the latest software
Post by: design4p on May 29, 2018, 05:55:38 pm

I understand that there is a new version of the software.  I am a novice in this area but can anyone help with the process of installation.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find

All the information that you need is available at pilotaware.com (http://pilotaware.com)

The USB Flash memory stick method is the easiest and the .pgp file mentioned is available from pilotaware.lode.co.uk (http://pilotaware.lode.co.uk) labelled as the update file. The latest software is version = 20180520

Keith can you explain a little more about this statement "Also includes Code for Weather reception and GDL90 support"?

Thanks very much!

There is a trial being undertaken in the South of England by Sky Demon and UAvionix to provide weather data  on UAT frequency of 978MHz. We have embedded software into the latest release so that PilotAware will be able to detect this in future.

A hardware upgrade will be required for PilotAware to do this. Basically we are getting the unit prepared for our users if they want it. :)
