These are great videos, thank you! One thing to note for anybody who didn't follow your instructions to watch Part 1 first -- Ed recommended in #1 to create an IFR and a VFR profile, and the settings he's showing in this one are for the IFR profile.
I think current climb gradient isn't neccesary for your setup, because 1) presumably you looked up your expected climb performance before takeoff 2) if you aren't meeting your expected climb gradient, you're just going to monitor your synthetic vision anyways, and even if you're meeting your climb gradient you're going to monitor your synthetic vision. So... synthetic vision makes the current climb gradient irrelevant. Synthetic vision gives you a simple to understand picture where you can easily judge if you are safely clearing terrain or not. If you have to deviate off course to avoid terrain in an emergency, no problem! Just use synthetic vision and point to where there is clearance from terrain. If all other plans fail, such as you got stuck in bad icing and are low on fuel, keep it simple - that synthetic vision will save your life. Some people practice going below minimums (under the hood or in a sim) with synthetic vision so that in a future emergency it's an option.
I see the newest comment is 11 months old so I don't know if this site is still active. Anyway the setup videos are OK except I wish the video was zoomed in closer to the PFD/MFD texts visible.
Oh I think there are some good videos out there that give some good tips. But there are 600 pages in that Perspective system and doing a video on every permutation on its feature would take a couple of hundred videos. My advice...get a portable generator and APU and go through each screen while you are on the ground. That's what I do and its made a big difference.
Setting P+ at UTC time doesn't make any sense to me; I understand that clearances get provided in UTC but for that I use a widget on my phone. On the User Fields: XTK is also shown on the HSI in green needles if I am not mistaken. I would also opt for MSA, and FOD; They are very useful (more so than AGL imo).
I would also do Traffic relative - who cares where the traffic is going in absolute terms; you want to know where they are related to you. That will show you their position in correlation to you, which is a lot more relevant to absolute.

I owe you the VFR.
Very helpful - thanks!
You're welcome! Cheers-Ren
Good stuff, Ren. Thank you!
Thanks JP. Enjoy that new Cirrus of yours. Cheers-Ren

I have yet to find one good educational video on my perspective system.

That is why they make them customizable Robert G! To each his own. Thanks for posting. Cheers-Ren

@@TheRenBaron Sure thing! Merely suggestions from another former cirrus driver :)
Sorry my words got garbled / Bottom line is I can't see the words on the PFD/MFD screens and its hard to follow the steps.
Well I wish I could help you on that one but I can't.
