Was looking for a way to import Flight plans from Navigraph and in watching a video on it, I discovered a new feature that I must have over looked for the past two years since getting the GTN750Xi Pro suite. With the TDS GTNXi Pro and Navigraph I can automatically update Navigraph Charts but have always thought all the other charts were based on the Garmin Trainer software. So after watching that video I learned that I can also update the Navigraph DB bringing in all the current SIDs and STARs. So I'm super happy now flying IFR in the sim as both my GTN is up to date to match my Garmin Pilot app and my workload has been streamlined with not having to program in my FP to the GTN and Garmin Pilot but now just to my Garmin Pilot. I also added the SimBrief toolbar widget which allows me to have that info in the sim without having to go out of the sim once I've started a flight. Since I also use OnAir and SayIntentions, my work flow is like this: 1) start with OnAir and created the basics of the flight, Plane, Departure and Arrival and then from within OA, I launch SimBrief. Let it create the route and make any adjustments to the flight and then generate it. That now automatically creates the flight plan file for the GTN to be imported from the GTN within the sim. 2) Import the flight to OA and make sure I have enough fuel and text SkyOps of SayIntentions to get my Clearance. While just a time ago, this was not realistic in the real world, Garmin now offers Data Comm which is a CLPDC for small GA using Garmin Xi products. So instead of getting the clearance in the GTN, I get it via text and for the world not the limited airports that offer Data Comm. 3) Start the sim and flight and import the flight plan into the GTN with just a few clicks, add any SID or STAR and the GTN is programmed. I can then open up the SimBrief Briefing Panel widget from the toolbar and use the FP to program my Garmin Pilot app. Overall everything is streamlined and I no longer have to make multiple entries in various app and hardware to load a flight plan.

I just wanted to share with the community that I switched from using PopOutPanelManager to Glass Out with some insight on how well the product and customer support has been. My setup is 7 screens connect to the PC via video card, USB dongle and one is an iPad tablet. I was using Duet Display to make my tablet seen as an extra monitor. After discovering the touch did not work on the tablet with using just the PC client of GlassOut and having quick replies with the developer, I downloaded the iOS Glass Out app from the iOS store and I was all set. Now to get up in running I no longer need the POPM and DuetDisplay. I start the app on my PC and Tablet and everything works. I had no reason to move from POPM to GlassOut as my system has worked fine and I've never felt the need for more frames, however, after reading a post from the author of POPM stating his support and personal use of the product figured it was worth giving it a try. This post is only to provide positive feedback for any users like me who want to have the ability to use pop out screens for other monitors and have a combination of PC and tablet screens that it works seamlessly. You just need to add the app to your tablet devices. [

I have an easy feeling in believing of UFOs and life from outside this planet, however, I have an extremely hard time believing of space travel of anything organic. Even if wormholes and such made it possible to travel great distances in short time, even if traveling at light speed was a thing, the logistics of travel by anything that needs food, medicine etc is where everything falls apart for me. Perhaps because to an advance civilizations I am but a small mind.

I'm no solar expert but I do live completely off grid and have 1.3kW of solar panels and 14000Wh of battery bank with 2 of the 3 of them being EcoFlow power stations. Only thing I didnt like about the OP video, and while its not his duty to point this out, is the lack of protection from the solar panels to the inverter. I'd highly recommend and inline fuse connected as close to the panels as possible and then a circuit breaker between the panels and the invert. That allows ease of access to turn off the power coming in without having to unplug the panels from the inverter to do so. Runway DC power is no joke so fuses and breakers are low cost and great protection.

That SOB?!..yeah he was a great one. Its a lot of the breed as they love to work with/for you. He was a Brittany. That video was when he was young and in training from back in 2005-06 era but shortly after he was always off leash and I could leave him on a bench or golf cart at our busy marina for an hour and come back and he would still be there bc he knew his release word. He worked with me everyday at the marina and rode around on my golf cart. He had a great life for sure and I said goodbye to him back in 2017 where he was 14 and health to the end. Yeah, I'm looking at getting force feedback pedals in the future. Will be my last upgrade to the simpit. Going to add a roof a/c to the hangar next year. I'm just finishing my van build for my home and that set me back but totally worth it.

I finished my hangar and updated my my simpit from previous seen videos and just wanted to show all who are interested in getting ideas on building a simpit or place to house one in a new video. For the hangar, I poured and epoxy floor and redid the walls and lighting to give an executive hangar look. The only thing left to do in the future is put a roof mount a/c on. as for the simpit, its the extra 430/kln90 gps, Comanche flap bar and a few other items that have been added or switched out.

You have a valid point but I feel it was misdirected on Peter. Peter is an OG in flight simming. I worked with Peter at Cape Air on Nantucket back in 2000, him as a pilot and me as a second job ramp agent but both simmers. I'm happy to see him back in the forums but also feel your viewpoint is respectful and noteworthy, just one that I dont agree with in this case.

I went to do some gliding yesterday and I no longer have a wingman and can not get the tow plane to move by wig wagging my rudder. Any thoughts? I have assistance on for airport vehicles.

Well its great to know that they are looking to create some staples in GA and showing most of their entire GA fleet. So lets get those out on the market so they can focus on the real fun planes from their catalog starting hopefully in 2028.

Guess its gonna be double windsocks for me!

Thanks for this post as I too am interested in this.

New to me is the Garmin FAA Data Comm feature starting on GTN750Xi and working its way up the Garmin suite of glass cockpits. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/aviation/fltplan/faa-data-comm/overview/ Heres a demo video of it which is basically CPDLC for small aircrafts. Can you imagine having this feature working with the TDS GTN750Xi for Pilot Edge and Say Intentions maybe working through SimBrief?! This is the list of airports where its available in RL. ELIGIBLE AIRPORTS Airports eligible for DCL service include: (Triangle ∆ indicates DCL. All are PDC eligible unless indicated by x.)

Can someone answer what that round menu is in the video posted by St Mawgan? Is it a chaseplane thing or something? Found it. Flow by Parallel42.

Still havent gotten a chance to look at my scenery but was the fix specific to your install or is there now a patch out for it?

I'll see what I can do but I had no issues with the scenery. Got any areas of interest I can use to send you a comparison shot?
