Hey All,
So with respect to the glass panels I think I like Avidyne better than Garmin. I've several planes with the Garmin but based on screenshots like how the Avidyne displays better. If I buy an Eaglesoft cirrus can I put the Avidyne in say a Kodiak? I've been looking at the F1 Avidyne for some time now - what makes it so attractive to me (other than how it displays) is the TAWS - the big negative is of course the $100. But performance is also a concern. How many TAWS gauges are out there? I take it Eaglesoft does not do TAWS. Any plans for TAWS from Eaglesoft?
As for planes - when it comes to modern sleek aircraft I prefer Diamond. Cirrus are nice and I have no problem buying one from Eaglesoft but when are we going to see the DA-42 and are there any plans to do a DA-40?
Also as an area for development - nobody is doing LSAs of any kind. Why not? The use of Dynon gauges are an ideal match for these aircraft. For example I'd buy in a heartbeat a Flight Designs CTSW with Dynon gauges that had the option of either flying at USA LSA speeds or optionally Canada, South Africa and other places not so hung up on speed regulation speeds (all that would take is a different airfile/cfg).
The only plane I would buy faster than a high quality Diamond or CTSW is the plane nobody in the world of FS will ever apparently do - a Cessna 180/185 package done up like the Carenado 206 package.

Hey Ron,
Are there any plans to update to the narrower landing gear and higher dihedral wing, or are you going to stick with only texture changes from G2 to G3?
If so, is there a timeframe for the new model? I'd be really interested in purchasing it.

FS9 Placeholders since the FSX version is WIP. Still early yet but wanted to offer a progress report

No plans for TAWS in our Avidynes at this price point.
We hope to have the DA42 available by years end but no promises at this point.

Yes, we tried to make the "band" a little wider but the Best Power feature is indeed present.

Not for the SR22G2/G3 Package for reasons already stated.
The wing dihedral has already been changed but the effect is more subtle in our model than in real world.
The SR22 Turbo "Perspective" version will have the taller and narrower gear.

Hey All,
Ron I appreciate the screenies and year end would be great. If the FS9 version is done why not market it? You may well get double sales! Still though I would ask are your gauges substitutable at all? If I were to buy a Cirrus and then the DA42 came out could I move the Avidyne into the DA42 in place of the Garmin? An Avidyne in a Kodiak/Epic would also be awesome! I'd likely buy the Avidyne separately as I did the Sandel pakage you offered earlier. If substitutable though the Cirrus suddenly looks a lot more interesting! Is a DA-40 in the pipeline at all?

Iris are making a DA-40.
Looking at the pics, am I right to say that you have modeled the Thielert engine instead of the Austro?

Yes, and considering the number of months it took to get the mesh and textures accurate, there's little chance of it changing anytime soon... :ernae:

Ed, the goal is to have the FS9 and FSX DA42 available by years end but there is much to go on both projects. The FS9 version is still incomplete.
Our Avidynes are locked to the Cirrus and are not transferrable.
No DA40 planned at this time. I think someone else has that one in pipeline.:isadizzy:

Yes, the original TDI Thielerts.

No, not at this time. We are aware of the latest chages to the DA42 but will continue on the present path.
