THE SIMULATORS ARE RUNNING WELL!

UPDATE: DEC 15, 2022

G-1000: The sim is running well. The only issue we have deals with the range knob on right display. It needs to be turned slowly. If turned too rapidly it will kick off the PrePar3D which then requires a reboot.

Sola A (Six Pack): The Solo A now starts up normally, however, the SOLO STATION DEVICES TEST will now appear on the GTN 750 display. This was necessary to move it from the left visual screen for incorporating it into the HSI Nav Display which will be downloaded into the system shortly. Complete the check for green checkmarks off the GTN 750 screen. When it is complete SOLO STATION DEVICES TEST will disappear. The GTN 750 will boot up normally after the avionics master switch is turned on. Remember, the Garmin 530W is the only avionics that does not come up with the avionics master switch. It must be turned on separately by pushing the "C" knob once.

Using your iPad for Geo Reference: After the simulator you have chosen is up and running, look for this WiFi (not Bluetooth) connection on your tablet or iPhone:

G-1000: SOLOPRO-G1_570027_5G

Solo A: SOLOPRO-A-530023_5G

When asked for a password type: 20 30 40 50 60 (same password for both simulators).

If you are using Garmin Pilot: SETTINGS>>Flight Simulation>Toggle on

If you are using ForeFlight: MORE>Devices>Select PrePar3D>Slide enable Button ON

Now the airplane symbol will Geo reference on a Sectional, Low/High Altitude IFR Chart or Approach Chart

As always, if you have any squawks please detail the discrepancy on the blank page in the log folder, or contact Jack at 386-235-5797.
