Hi
So here's my update on the 10.1 upgrade. After the install I have taken it for about 3 hours of flight time and seen one "GPS Dead Reckoning" message that I noticed. It lasted for about 10 seconds then went away. There may have been more because I wasn't watching the system constantly as I was working on some LOP running characterization.
One other thing I noticed is that when I had 10.0.2, and I went to look at the GPS status page it generally showed a full screen of solid green bars and was pretty steady. With this upgrade the screen seems to show about 50/50 solid and outlined green bars and lots of blinking going on as the bars shift around on the screen. Not sure if this change in behavior is 10.1 related or something else.
I can download the logs, but I have Exec autopilots working on an advance exchange and will swap this in when it shows up, given that I am still seeing problems. So the logs are probably of limited value but I'm happy to get them.
