I would gladly trade that for the Artificial
Horizon (but I am not paying 900 bucks for a key to turn on what
already exists on the device (IT hostage stuff )

I get it - you'd rather remove the instrument from your panel, ship it
to them, wait a week or two or three for it to be modified, eventually
returned to you, so you can enjoy the effort of putting it back in the
panel? And still pay $900?

My suggestion: remove the instrument from your panel, set it on the
shelf, buy the $900 license, and after three weeks, re-install it and
apply the license! There, just like the good old days ;^)



Ouch! - this site always seems to end up in a negative place - that is why so many pilots I know do not write on it - but I think there is a huge knowledge base so.............

1. You did not get it - I do not want to take my instrument out ... nor send it to anyone for upgrades ... it is fine where it is, thank you.

2. as you wrote - "charge you for only the functions you desire" - I desire the AFH and do not desire the Navigation - even swap I wish I had that choice. That was the only point I was attempting to make.

I like LXNAX - and Like my S80 - there are always issues with new technical instruments - discussion is the only way to evolve............. and since people come here for honest suggestions, I am assuming your suggestions was not a suggestion at all, it was sarcasm, but I could be wrong but this blog is world renowned for sarcasm.
