It’s nice to see information about our synthetic vision system integrated into WingX Pro7 start to circulate. We just launched the system a couple of days ago and we’re happy to see the words is getting out.
From the article: “This is big! Synthetic Vision will give us a view outside of the terrain and other obstacles when visibility is otherwise impaired. Synthetic Vision depicts terrain using a high-resolution terrain database, and obstacles using a comprehensive obstacles database.”
“For instrument rated pilots, this is a major capability when in IMC. For VFR pilots, this adds major capabilities for flying at night. And, at an additional cost of $99 annually, a tremendous value. For whatever reason, most on-board avionics manufacturers want us to upgrade hardware to add this feature to it with a hefty price tag. Obviously, Hilton Software has shown that this feature can be added through improvements to the software alone.”
