      Redbird Corvus User Guide

      Redbird Corvus connects your Redbird simulator to ForeFlight (more EFB connections are in the works) by providing data akin to an ADS-B receiver.

      System Requirements

      • Redbird Navigator v3.4.2 or higher
      • Navigator router or other properly configured wireless network

      Supported EFBs

      • ForeFlight v10 or higher
      • Garmin Pilot
      • Most other major EFBs

      Installation

      If you are purchasing a new Redbird device with Corvus as an option it will come pre-installed on your simulator. You can skip to Setup below.

      If you are adding Corvus to a Redbird that has already been installed you will be connected to a member of our support team to assist you. The preferred method is to use the standard update process to download and install Corvus. After purchase, a new update will be made available to you. If this doesn't work or you'd like more hands on support, we can remotely access your device (you'll need a stable internet connection) and manually install Corvus. You can contact support at support@redbirdflight.com or 512-301-0718.

      Setup

      Connect the iPhone/iPad/Android to the sim's navigator wireless network. The IP address must be in the same subnet to be auto-detected by Corvus. You can verify the IP address via the iOS Settings app or Android Network settings.

      Using Corvus

      Devices

      Corvus can detect devices on the network that are running ForeFlight version 10 or higher, and other EFBs when Corvus is placed into Compatibility Mode.

      When a device is detected, it will appear in the list of devices in the Corvus app. The device
      name may not appear if it did not connect to the wireless network using DHCP.

      Corvus Device List


      You can also manually add a device by its IP address if Corvus does not auto detect it.

      Enabling a Device

      Turn the device "ON" using the toggle switch on the right side of the device entry.
      Enable Compatibility Mode if using an EFB other than ForeFlight, such as Garmin Pilot.

      Corvus Compatibility Switch


      Corvus will begin sending data to your EFB as soon flight is in progress and un-paused. The
      simulator will then show up in your EFB's list of devices (More > Devices).

      Default Device

      Corvus will automatically connect to the default device as soon as it is detected on the network.
      You can also set a specific device to be the "Default" device by clicking on the ribbon on the left
      side of the device entry.
