I think this would work as a display for passengers, but wouldn't want a Windows operating system telling me how to fly my airplane. Unless this company has discovered how to make Windows rock solid-stable.
hmmm PC based, yes is a little scary, but you can definitely have a really nice cockpit without having to buy a 40K Garmin. I fly with anywhere map on my hand-held, and once tried using my laptop, but brightness was awful. if the system has the right brightness I think I could consider it for my "work in progress" RV9 project, heck I can play movies for the kids...
Blue screen of death.... you kidding me???? that is so Windows 98.... plus if you crash because you don't have a screen.... you should not be a pilot. I think that a set up like this one, with the main three steam gauges (Alt, Speed, and Attitude indicator) as back up (like every other CERTIFIED AIRCRAFT out there) would nice to have.
blue screen of death still occurs frequently in windows xp, clearly you have no idea what you are talking about...
this seems like a product for the average cheap jew pilot. not sure how they can charge $4000 for basically a flat screen with a program that is connected to the aircraft instruments...
if your going to go glass cockpit, go big or go home. this is an absolute waste.
@KaityRSProduction Hi Kaity, I am very familiar with this product (and I am an Aeronautical Engineer and Avionics specialist too...) and altough the discussion around WinXP surely has it basis, that is not just a flat screen+software. It is a complete solution. It includes de AD/AHRSI/EMS card, the screen and the CPU attached to it. I came back to the video after having the unit in my hand. The use of windows is due to the idea of using existing EFIS software, available mostly for windows.
@KaityRSProduction "if your going to go glass cockpit, go big or go home". We are talking experimentals here. I can imagine a guy close to a VariEze, looking at the Canard configuration and composite construction, saying "this is an absolute waste". For a VFR plane, this way better than the 6 basic instruments+gps+anythingelse combo. Full IFR is another history...
In your opinion, regarding Glass Cokpits, what is going big?
I'm a software architect and a pilot and there is NO WAY IN HELL I would get in a plane where I would have to rely on a windows based software stack. No chance in hell. I don't rely on windows for the multi-million dollar project I lead because I don't trust it, and I wouldn't trust my life with it.
Windows XP PRO and Celeron-M as standard - a bit confusing if you ask me. I know it's cheap but is it worth to base such important system on such operating system instead of dedicated one?
Antivirus included? )))
