New Butterfly Display Software 3.2
Hi,
we have released a new software version 3.2 for the PowerFLARM displays/Butterfly displays that increases font-size by 40% (which is a lot). Some other minor changes are included as well. • Better readability, larger fonts • Shows installed PowerFLARM® licenses • Support for latest FLARM® error codes • Shows next XPDR target in list view • minor improvements and bugfixes We have received (negative) feedback from some of you regarding readability.. Although we can not change issues that come from screen/sunglass polarization we tried to improve the situation with font-readability and now have way larger fonts that are easier to read. Please read this manual if you wish to install the update: http://www.butterfly.aero/support/CL32_EN.pdf Please find the update files he http://www.butterfly-avionics.com/in...upport-english Thanks a lot for your feedback and always happy landings Marc The Butterfly Team |

Thanks a lot for your feedback and always happy landings Marc Marc, that is great! Your team's fast response to a customer comment is greatly appreciated - us older gliderguiders have a tough time reading the "small print" on many digital displays, something young designers may not appreciate - yet! Cheers, Kirk 66 |

I flew with v3.2 at the 18-meter nationals last week, and it does help readability - do install it ! Best Regards, Dave |

Does this bigger font in 3.2 reduce the "radar" display size? I don't want that any smaller. I'd like the alarm sound made at least twice as loud on the display for the core. It's not just the vision that degrades as one becomes an older gliderguider. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Feb/2010" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://tinyurl.com/yb3xywl |

read. Does this bigger font in 3.2 reduce the "radar" display size? I don't want that any smaller. Hi Eric, the radar stays identical, only the fonts are increased in size. To be honest, we use a modification of our old fonts (sw version 2.2 and lower) that may only be familiar to our european users. best, Marc |

Marc,
I do intend to load v3.2, but out of curiosity, is it possible to reload an older version of firmware if you don't like the newer version? -John, Q3 On Wednesday, May 22, 2013 11:34:51 AM UTC-4, Marc - Butterfly Avionics wrote: the radar stays identical, only the fonts are increased in size.

You can always upgrade-downgrade to any desired version. Because of this reason please make sure than only one .bfn file is on your USB-Stick/microSD-Card when updating through PowerFLARM. |

Is there a backlight in this display? If there is, an additional, enormously helpful tweak would be to crank up the illumination during alerts. T8 |

Hi, having issues with the download from he http://www.butterfly-avionics.com/in...upport-english
when I download it, it comes as a .zip file when I then extract the files I get a .exe file then if I try and run it, I get a error reading com ports. Is ther a place just to get the .BFW and .BFN update files? They are fairly small files and don't really need to be compressed. This happens with both the flarmnet and display updates. Or am I or Freaking windoze 7 doing something wrong? Thanks CH |

Save Note: don't click on the link to open it or your computer may save it as a txt file. Works for me! (and I hate computers) bumper |
