MGL EFIS simulator (the very basics of editing screen designs)

[@pmosher515]

dutchroll, you are a peach. I was struggling with this and you've shown me the light! Any suggestion with loading firmware updates? I get a Ibox1.0.XX not seen when trying to load it directly into the iBox. Should I load it into the simulator? Should I do that with the maps and terrain files too?

[@dutchroll]

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the ibox version as I have the iEFIS Lite which doesn't use an iBox. The firmware updates normally have to be in the root directory of an sd card and you need the card in the slot already when you put power on. It should update automatically. With map files you can load them into the simulator if you want.

@@dutchroll The lite and the ibox are very similar in their operation. iBox just has more features. Again thanks, this really helped.

Now that you have deleted the ECB icon. how do you get it back?

[@dutchroll]

The ECB icon is under the "general" tab in the screen designer. You select "General" then insert a "functional icon". The default functional icon is the "icon holder" but if you double click on it to get to its properties, then select the drop down menu, you can change it to "ECB".

How can I enlarge my transponder input screen?

[@dutchroll]

To my knowledge you can't. It is a fixed size input screen determined by MGL. You can only change its position on the screen. It's an unfortunate limitation of the screen design program.
