I have my audio set so that it breaks tone right on zero, and I find that
quite satisfactory, even in very light lift. Once again, the only thing that
really matters is what the averager is saying, and in this situation you are
looking for it to stay positive.
I still have a Winter vario on my panel, but would be quite content with a
electric backup, especially something like the B40/B400 which gives an audio
and averager function as well. I've been trying to get Cambridge to make
such an instrument for about 10 years now!
I don't think what I do is any different to most competent cross-country
pilots. I do see a number of people baffling themselves with science, and
good, clean soaring flight needs to be kept simple. All the really useful
info is outside, especially when you find yourself low and in trouble. When
you are in such a stressful situation it is very easy to focus back inside
the cockpit, and I still have to tell myself to "look up and out" when the
pressure is on.

Bruce, how does your system work in very weak lift, and does anybody else
other than me still use a mechanical vario on the panel ?

Oh no you haven't, please vent more from your informed spleen.
