Hello all,

With the imminent holiday weekend fast approaching we are missing some key staff needed to get the website updated, but we wanted to get out a link to the latest AF-5000 software all the same. The Vx16.09.15-TOUCH release linked below fixes a bug found in the Vx16.09.14-B01-TOUCH-MV16 PRERELEASE download on our website which caused Garmin navigators to show GPS INTEGRITY error even with a valid GPS fix.


A few tips to get Slingshot working smoothly out of the gate:

- in FlyQ, only choose the states where you actively fly. All states that are selected and show as green in FlyQ will transfer over Slingshot. Currently, trying to transfer a large dataset, e.g. all 50 US states + Southern Canada can cause problems with Slingshot on some EFIS hardware.
- Make sure "Enable Slingshot access" is checked in the FlyQ preferences.
- If you have two or more AF-5000 EFIS screens, only the EFIS which physically has the wifi dongle connected should have the wifi turned on and in HOST mode. All other screens should be set to wifi mode "OFF" in the SET --> CAL --> Wifi menu.
- The screen with the wifi dongle should have ADS-B broadcast type set to "SKYVIEW" in the SET --> CAL --> Wifi menu.
- If you insert a freshly formatted USB drive, slingshot will fail to connect unless you manually create a "ChartData" folder in the root of the USB drive on a computer before inserting them into the EFIS
