Topcat Aircraft Database Download This And I just built a 7A and also installed dual Skyviews to match my 12 but I added the ethernet cable.Īmazed to see that the database updates go to both automatically.ĭont know why Vans skips the cable on the 12 but Im adding it the next time I have the screen out for inspection. The updates go quickly even if you have to load them into each display individually but I find having the Ethernet connection makes aviation and obstacle updates even more convenient. The cable can be installed by easing each display out of the panel, make one connection and snake the cable around to the second display and make its connection. In any case, for software upgrades, its always a good plan to do a save configuration, just in case stuff happens.Īny Ethernet cable will technically work, according to Dynon, but they spec out one of theirs for aircraft use. On the other hand I have in the past had the Vans files change some of my customized settings and reset some things to Vans RV-12 defaults. The Dynon files have not changed any of the Vans configurations or my configurations that exist on my displays. This is only for the aviation and obstacle updates, any software upgrades have to be loaded to displays individually.įor software updates I use the releases from Dynons web site rather than Vans. Without the Ethernet connection the aviation and obstacles databases will need to be loaded on each display individually. Vans does not include an Ethernet cable in the dual display kit and the instructions are mute regarding it.Īccording the the Dynon Installation manual the purpose of the Ethernet cable is to allow the updates to transfer to the other screen if they are loaded on any display.
If you are not familiar with the config files, you better stick to the version from the Vans site.Įach SVT has an Ethernet port and Dynon recommends that an ethernet cable be installed between the displays. The Vans site is usually a bit late in getting them out, but will contain configuration files specifically for the RV-12.
