So I am looking
forward to using the new software. Rusty, since you never flew with the old
software, you have nothing to compare it to, but how do you like it? Is it ready
for release to the rest of us? Tracy, any idea when this will be
available?

Todd
and all,
As I
understand it, the software is available to anyone who wants it. In my
case, I didn't even have mode 9 on my original version, and I certainly needed
an upgrade to work with the eventual monitor-2 <G>, so it was well worth
the upgrade.
The
dual map feature will be nice, if I ever get around to tuning it, but tuning it
hasn't been a priority yet. When I descend, the air fuel meter is blank,
below lean, and the engine sometimes does miss a bit. I can turn up the
mixture to compensate, which is perfectly fine for now. The second MAP is
calibrated either in flight, during actual descents, or you can do it
on the ground without the prop. I'll probably do the initial cal of the
second MAP table the next time I pull the prop to re-pitch, then I'll touch it
up in flight. Since I have a single seat plane, and lots of traffic
around the area, it's just a little dicey to try to spend much time tuning
in-flight.
Cheers,
Rusty
