Greg,
After the TBM/RV-6 accident at Oshkosh, the email lists are on fire with
guys wanting taxi cameras. Someone at your booth at Oshkosh mentioned
that someone had a USB interface that would allow your EFIS screen to
show video. PLEASE tell us where and how to get it.
Right now, this would be a HUGE selling point.

I'm just concerned with the size of the ACS camera as compared to the
lipstick camera. 1.5" compared to .75" approx. but if you have a
place for the larger size. looks great though. It's sitting in their
display case but wasn't hooked up the last time I was in there. And it
resembles the same package that we saw at a RV vehicle dealer. But I
assume different lense as mentioned.

Looks like a "bingo" on packaged "TAXICAM" (Aircraft Spruce item, the
Flycam 1000) !

OK, one of you geeks out there knows where to find such a device.... a
Windows CE driven camera. Go! Fetch! Good boy! ;-)

The ASI calibration is in the release Jeff and I are testing now. We
thought we would release it tomorrow, but it might be another couple of
days because I messed up the new function for defining missed approach
altitudes, decision altitudes, and a pre-set altitude for the vertical
nav function.
I checked into the camera thing (which by the way, we have had others
request). Our software engineer said that a web cam that plugs into our
USB port would provide us with video, but that he was unaware of any
webcams that include a driver for Windows CE (this is the embedded
version of windows that we use...it is quite different from the version
on your PC). So, all we need is the software driver. If you heard of
someonw that found a webcam that includes a Windows CE driver, find out
what camera that is, and let us know. This would be a free update.
I don't want to get you too excited though. If we can't find a camera
that includes the driver, we would need to write our own. This is not a
trival task, and a very rough estimate of the cost to do so is in the
range of $15,000-$30,000 worth of labor. We would only do this if we
thought we could earn that much back, which is unclear at this time. In
other words, don't count on it if we have to write the driver.
Interestingly, when I tested the winds aloft calc, my RV-6A was off by
less than 1 foot/sec at crusing speed. (I have Van's recommended static
and pitot ports.)
Thanks
Greg

Also, is the ASI calibration to correct the winds aloft
calculations ever going to be available? It's been almost 2 years since
we discussed it.
