    synthetic vision

    I have a 3500 s model with upgraded synthetic vision. I see lakes but no runway markings. Am I missing something?

    KCAK KAKR. I just downloaded and installed both updated software for the 3500 and synthetics this spring. I will check for actual version numbers on the about screen on my next visit to the plane.

    Email a picture of your EFIS about screen to : info@advanced-flight-systems.com

    For the runways to draw you must have:

    1. AF-3500s or AF-4500
    2. SVN Key
    3. SD card with current map data
    4. Valid GPS signal

    Is this a setting on the 3500, the 430 or a wiring issue? Still need a pic of the "about" screen?

    Send the following pictures:

    1. About screen

    2. CALIBRATION > ADMIN SETTINGS > DIAGNOSTICS > ARINC GPS Test Page

    You do have a SD card with the map data on it installed?

    So the SD card must be installed at all times? That solved it. I thought the files were loaded and saved on internal memory. I see runways and HITS. thanks. Always something simple.

    It is in the manual, the SD card must be in the system with a map database for it to work.
