As the speed tape is not a part of this EFIS 85 setup, there is no flag for this case in my documentation. It is just very handy to have this option - as we had the Aspen EFD 1000 for years now as an interim solution, we are used to look on the PFD for airspeed indication and the ASI where only kind of a backup... :)

Found information on that in the general EFIS 85 manual: There is a flag 'XDTA' for that case and trend vector, reference airspeed and F/S indication are removed.

Huh? But you said there's no airspeed?

In the configuration of our PA-42-720 there is indeed only the F/S indicator. But the ASI tape is pretty handy in the simulator as a stepper-gauge can fail more easily than a real ASI. So there is an option to turn on the tape in my EFIS.
In fact I did also find pictures in the manual with ASI tape and F/S indicator...

Some progress on the PFD. Left side is the more actual one.

Working on the MFD. RDR Mode and NAV Mode are completed. At least the basics. I still wonder how to get a working weather radar and the display of the route/flightplan... ;)
