MGL Avionic ODYSSEY VOYAGER EFIS "GENERATION 2"
Images on this page are created from screen captures using the Odyssey simulator.
The actual instrument uses a graphics processor capable of sub-pixel rendering that removes visual effects such as "jagged edges" on angled lines.
Click on images for a large version.
This product range is obsolete and replaced with the iEFIS range.
MGL Avionics has released the "Generation 2" upgrade for the popular Odyssey and Voyager EFIS systems.
All systems shipped are now in G2 status with unchanged pricing meaning even more EFIS for the money than before. Adding powerful new graphics hardware and doubling the processor speed means unmatched capability and value.

Features listed here are only some of the available functionality, Odyssey, like its smaller brother Enigma, is a dynamic and very flexible development. Odyssey includes all of the Enigma functionality and adds items related mainly to its additional interfaces (ARINC429 etc).
Software based additions to functionality are made available to end users via free and unrestricted internet download with the actual task of updating a system being a simple and quick process taking only a few seconds.
Odyssey is fully compatible with the Enigma database system and application programs, all of which are available free of charge via internet download. Please note that 3rd party applications created by other companies or individuals may require purchase or licensing. Contact the relevant owners/creaters of these applications directly for information.

MGL Avionics EFIS "GENERATION 2" ECRANS STANDARD
Click on pictures to enlarge them
The following section shows some of the built in screens in action (based on the Odyssey simulator - a free download). You can use these screens as they are (or select from other available options), use these screens as bases for your own designes or start completely from scratch with a blank screen. These screens are also used on the Voyager (The Voyager is 100% compatible to the Odyssey).
The choice is yours...
Common to all screens (using the built in default screen designs):
Open and select a video channel and overlay the video on top of the screen. Size of the video image is determined by the screen itself (for example - on the map screen the video fills the entire area of the map, on other screens the image is smaller and positioned so to allow continued use of the indicators. Further "information" or "Info" pages can be opened in appropriate positions to show further text or graphical indicators as needed.
Ecran 1

Ecran 4
Click on image to see a larger image
Split screen synthetic vision and vector map using larger area for engine monitoring.
Ecran 5
Click on image to see a larger image
Screen dedicated to moving map navigation. Select from raster maps (georeferenced, scanned paper maps) or vector maps. Zoom levels extend to continent wide proportions.
A smaller area is dedicated to primary flight information, maximizing the space for maps.

Holding pattern
Click on image to see a larger image
This image shows a map in "navigation mode" with an active holding pattern (entry fix marked with small triangle pointing in the required direction).
The hold changes size as your airspeed changes.
Also visible is a VOR radial and the current OBS
Engine leaning
This image shows a quick simulator image of the engine leaning function for a 4 cylinder.
In the above image cylinder one EGT peaked first and is now 34 degrees below peak (and 2,3,4 did not change at all).
Activation requires a single button press and the image overlays in a translucent manner.
The graphic moves from right to left showing the last relevant movements of the EGT temperatures.
