To reach this page, slide up from any flight screen to make menus appear, then click « Parameters menu » button, then click the « Wi-Fi/Bluetooth setup » button.
About connectivity:
- Online connectivity brings new features: live tracking, real time wind reports, SMS messaging… (for more info, please read chapter “Parameters: Online Functions”).
- Whereas Wifi significantly reduces battery life and therefore should only be used on the ground, bluetooth is highly energy efficient and should be the connectivity used in flight. (standby weather forecast only use Wifi to update its data)
- After your flight, if you have filled your credentials in the Evolution (Parameters > Advanced Parameters > Pilot credentials), the flight will automatically be uploaded to your Syride online profile.
- WIFI with WEP keys are currently not supported by the Evolution (most wifi networks use WPA/WPA2 keys nowadays).
- Wifi and bluetooth cannot be used simultaneously. Activating bluetooth will disable the wifi and vice versa.
- On most phones, you will have to be on a specific page to be visible by other devices (including the Evolution) on bluetooth (that’s usually the bluetooth scan page).
- IMPORTANT: for bluetooth connection to work properly with your phone, you must enable both bluetooth AND bluetooth Internet connection sharing (“bluetooth tethering” on some phones): see .
