Is there a link to the software download? My ADAHRS is giving me a Incorrect Firmware message when I search for devices.
Thanks
Frank

This is stating that the software within the ADAHRS is different from the EFIS, pressing UPDT (or LOAD) will fix this issue.

Is there a reason why there's no longer a link to the latest software download? How do I know when a new version is out?

Different scenarios require different software at this point. We should have a stable version that will suite all users available soon.

Shawn, could you elaborate on the different scenarios/software load? I have not installed the version 12 software yet because most of the changes seem to be for the Touch Screen hardware (based on Rob's video). I don't have the Touch Screen. What does the version 12 software do for my AF-5500?

And then there's the chart issue. My chart subscription has expired. Should I buy new AFS charts for another year at $400? Or will the refined version 12 software be available within 2-3 months so I can buy the Dynon charts for $100?

Thanks,

Greg

I'm using the Dynon charts with version 12, but I seem to be missing some of the features like the small windows for traffic, etc... I believe I have 12.01.05-MV16-AV40

My chart subscription has expired. Should I buy new AFS charts...or...Dynon charts for $100?
We no longer sell the subscriptions for IFR Enroute, Flight guide, and Sectional data. (Approach Plates are still available for non AF-5000 customers) Any new AF-5000 subscription will need to be the Dynon Dataset from Seattle Avionics

The inset windows are only accessible on touch devices.

I am now a bit confused on the latest software. What is the latest version for the AF-5400? (And where can I get it?)
