In any case, it's not the 4500 I have an issue with, it is a lack of information and broken promises. If those promises were not made, I would have no legitimate complaint.
Rob has, at last, given us some information as to what the delay is so for the moment I will go back to sleep, but I'm sorry to inform you that I will at some time wake up again and will expect to have the undertakings promised fulfilled or at least a full and frank explanation as to why they will not. As a customer it's not much to ask is it?
Colin,

Software can take a lot longer than we think, this is not unique to us. To be fair your AF-4500 was shipped in November of 2010 and the first AF-5000 units did not ship until over a full year later.

Which of these items is causing all your stress?

These are the things we are working on:

1. Software to control the AF-Pilot from the EFIS screen with AP Engage and AP Disengage audio alerts.
2. AP/FD mode display similar to the AF-5000
3. Change FLARM interface from Garmin TIS to dedicated FLARM format.
4. Better handling for non unique Map identifiers
5. Larger Vertical speed tape
6. Updated ADS-B interface
