Hi Tom I should have told you that I'm running XCSoar on Altair. It can't detect its orientation. Bernie Baer seems to think that the latest version lets me choose between landscape and portrait mode. If that is the case my problem is solved!!! Thanks for your input! Kind regards Bernard

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Nexus 7 Installation Update Hi Bernard The latest version changes from portrait to landscape mode as you rotate your device. So it automatically senses its orientation and adjusts accordingly. I'm not sure what it does if your device can't detect which way up it is facing. Maybe there is a manual setting. What device are you running XCsoar on?

The upshot is that I decided that the Nexus/XCSoar combo was sufficient in itself, and that to interface it with the Flarm was of minimal added value given that I already have a Digital Voice Synthesizer. By not interfacing I lose only the radar display and I can live with that. I therefore installed it so as to draw from the glider's power supply, with no further interfacing. Easy. I have now flown with it, and I must say the combination of Nexus 7 and XCSoar is brilliant. The display is very legible in bright sunlight, and the latest version of XCSoar is much improved on the version that I had in my Altair. It is wondrously user friendly and useful in its range of capabilities. I like it and I'll stay with it. I'm now seeking help because during this period my Windows XP updated itself, and now won't even see the Nexus, let alone allow files to be copied across to it or from it. At the same time it has changed so that it won't make a connection with or recognise the Nano LX data logger that I've bought from John Orton to replace my trusty old Zander, now obsolete. Can anyone assist?
