Didn't see this on the current wish list. Is there a possibility for a split screen display of iFly map, and EFIS (ie: PC-EFIS Electronic Attitude Reference), as in Electronic Gyros for attitude display?

I'm presently outputting my iFly GPS data thru my PC Flight Systems IMU to my iPaq 4700 PDA for a separate electronic attitude indication. Having both on the iFly would be a great space saving (and wiring) idea.

I realize adding the gyros to the iFly would require a major hardware upgrade, but there are several separate IMUs available that would work great, and take care of 'most' of the computing requirements internally.

I noted you're working on a Synthetic Vision solution, but thought I'd bring this up anyway.

You've got a Great product! Hard to wait for future updates!

Edit: It would only take another jumper to output the IMU Gyro data back to the iFly. The software 'might' be easy for you guys!

Yep, this is on the list...the gyros would be an external device connected via USB cable. Some folks keep the iFly in their lap or on the yoke, in these cases built in gyros would be very problematic.

Thanks!
