Application programs and program tools:
You can download all the latest versions of the various tools and support programs using the links below. Most of these programs are used for Enigma, Odyssey, Voyager and Explorer instrument systems.
Odyssey simulator and screen designer (Note: also used for Voyager and Explorer)
Download this application from the Odyssey/Voyager update page (the link above will take you there).
This Windows application is used to design or modify screens for your Odyssey, Voyager or Explorer. It can be used to maintain several projects for different aircraft if needed and you can create a single executable script file that you can execute on your instrument to transfer your new screens and setups. This application is also a full function simulator of a real instrument and you can experiment with maps, GPS positions, navigation radios and may items more to show how your real instrument will work.
G2 Simulator set-up instructions after installation (courteousy of Mouser)
Important - keep your system up to date by ensuring the latest system firmware is installed.
Ensure that you regularly check on the MGL Avionics web site for the latest firmware releases. Software updates are free; simple to install; and ensure that you have the latest features; enhancements; and bug fixes.
How to install the latest firmware in your Enigma/Voyager/Odyssey
EnigmaSound.EXE (about 1 MBytes)
Run this program to install the Enigma/Odyssey/Voyager sound recorder. This program allows you to record your own voice alarms and phrases. It creates a single file containing all your sounds that you can easily install in your Enigma. This version also allows you to use sound files in WAV format created by external applications (simply name them accordingly and overwrite the existing WAV file(s) before creating the Enigma sound file). Please note that the sounds MUST be recorded in 8 Bits, 8Khz, Mono. Use a conversion utility if your source is in a different format.
EnigmaMapMaker.EXE (about 500 KBytes)
Run this program to install the Enigma (Odyssey/Voyager) map maker program. MapMaker is used to convert any map in JPG or BMP format for use with Enigmas moving map.
MapMaker in the current release converts any raster image to a map file directly usable with Enigma. Source map files in BMP or JPG format are geo-referenced, accurately scaled and deskewed and translated into the color space model of Enigma/Odyssey/Voyager. Future updates of the program will assist in importing terrain data as well.
MGL Central (about 2.7MBytes)
This is the new MGL Central database and flight planning application. It provides a comprehensive aviation database with import facilities for many data sources and formats. Flight planning includes integrated interface to Google maps.
This application replaces the "Enigma Flight Planner" application.
EnigmaBMPtoMIF.exe (about 400 KBytes)
This program is used to convert images in Windows BMP format to Enigma MIF format. You can use this program to make your own Startup screen (Splash screen) and aircraft layout backdrops for the Weight and Balance calculator.
Note: Splash screens should be made in a size of 320x240 pixels, W&B backdrops are 320x140 pixels. Sample BMP files included in this download.
Enigma vector map editor
This program is used to edit Enigma format "World vector" data files (VMAP.EVD) as well as airspace vector files (Airspace.EVD).
It allows you to create your own vector files or edit existing files and submit your edits for inclusion in our file downloads.
This program should be used with suitable raster map files as backdrop to make it easy to trace features. Suitable map backgrounds can be produced using the Enigma map maker application (download above) using scanned images from aeronautical charts or atlases or you can use existing image files in BMP or JPG formats.
Please note: This program is a beta release and may malfunction or corrupt your data. Only work on copies of your original data files and test the result in Enigma Flight planner and Enigma simulator.
Enigma Black Box viewer
This program is used to view Enigma flight recording data. Enigma can be setup to record flight, navigation and engine data to SD/MMC card. Using this program you can organize the recorded data into flights, graphically view the data and export the data in various formats including Google Earth for viewing of your flight path in 3D !!!
Install includes documentation in pdf format.
Microsoft Flight Simulator to EFIS interface
This update changes the USB communications related to attitude in order to retain compatibility with current EFIS releases.
This Windows based program acts as the glue between a Microsoft Flight Simulator installation and a Enigma, Odyssey or Voyager EFIS. The EFIS is connected to the PC using a USB port (using a standard PC/USB printer cable). This installation also includes a USB driver for the MGLUEFIS program. This first issue does not include any engine data transfer from the flight simulator. Items covered are: All primary flight instruments, AHRS, compass (heading), GPS related items.
This program depends on a third party interface called FSUIPC. This is a shareware program. It works unrestricted. If you find this program useful, we would like to ask you to register it with its author ( http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html ). It is very inexpensive. This installation includes the FSUIPC DLL that needs to be copied into the Flight Simulator modules folder. This DLL caters for Flight Simulator versions up to FS2004 Century of Flight. For FSX you need the FSUIPC4 installation which can be downloaded here: http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html You can also download the full FSUIPC distribution from this website if you need it.
PocketFMS export DLL (About 340KBytes)
Place this DLL in your PocketFMS executable folder, overwriting the existing DLL by the same name. Please note that you need a valid PocketFMS subscription to use this DLL.
MGL Avionics plates compiler (About 4MBytes)
This utility allows you to import airports plates in PDF format as well as images in JPEG and BMP format and compile them to MGL Avionics plates format which combines multiple plates into single files (for example plates retated to an airport). Plates can also be cropped and geo-referenced.
The download includes a few sample plates and a small tutorial that shows you how to create plates files for use with your EFIS. Documentation and tutorial are included in the download (PDF file). Please note: Plate files work on Odyssey and Voyager EFIS only. Ensure that you are using version 1.1.0.7 of the Odyssey/Voyager systems or later.
MGL Avionics IOX Scipt file generator/editor
The IOX script file generator is a Windows application used to generate a file that contains configuration and usage scrips for your MGL I/O Extender. Use this applications to assign functions to the IOX inputs and outputs. Also view the EFIS accessories page .
