Thread: V16 Software

  1. #1

    V16 Software

    I saw a reference to V16 software in another thread. I’m curious - what’s new/different in the new software?

    Also - any projection regarding the release date?

    Thanks,
    Dick

    It's in early release right now to minimize call/support volume but I would expect in on the website this month.

    Besides an ETA on the new software, can we also get details about what is in it (release notes)?

    Do you have any hints for getting the new Seattle Avionics DataManager to recognize our subscription?
    I'm subscribed through July but the new version 6.5.0.4 DataManager doesn't recognize that.

    Thanks,

    Greg

    I also was unable to download new V16 data manager from Seattle Avionics. I gave them a call, they were very nice and sent me a link to the new data manager that works with V16. If you don't see a checkbox for V16, then you are not using the right download manager.
