Well when you made the statement you did not indicate that it was a result
of consumer feedback, if indeed users of a free product can be classified as

Well when you made the statement you did not indicate that it was a result
of consumer feedback, if indeed users of a free product can be classified
as consumers, you have simply made a statement that by any measure was
disparaging of XCSoar.
Anyway, I am yet to find the any problems with XCSoar,
Paul,
sorry not true; In my experience when members are asked why they
use XCSoar the majority will tell you "because it's free" - if honest consumer
feedback is seen to be a put down that's disappointing.

Sorry Stuart, but that is an unnecessary put down for many people who
developed XCSoar. I use Oudie withSeeYou (fitted to a club glider) and I
use XCSoar. I can assure you that the relatively low cost of SeeYou (if you

Alan,
I'll disagree about the pre flight niggles.
Mine is a Club Class aircraft, a B500 and an (using SeeZyou) set up with
aircraft
and location profiles; apart from entering the task of the day it's plug and
play - and
thats what most club pilots want.
The biggest attraction of XCSoar
I would like to say XCSoar is great. If you own a $100k glider then perhaps
several more thousand on cockpit instruments is your fancy. In my experience
they have most of the same niggles: they all need plenty of pre flight work.
I fly whatever the club offers at club rates so the club benefits
I would like to support Scott's position. I have run XCSoar on many devices
HP 318, Dell Streak, lately on Nexus 7 and Nexus 4., never a problem. On
Android even the update take care of themselves. A fantastic project.
Cheers

Hi Scott,
I agree! I use lots of open source software. However , a large proportion
of our aging population of glider pilots do struggle with interfacing from
a long list of 'compatible' tablets and their vario of choice. Baud rates,
data packet construction , serial, bluetooth, etc etc is not som

I really have no comment on how XCSoar runs on the Oudie, never seen or done it.
But the comment is about out of line for open source. What phone do you use? Is

Guys,
Just received advise that LXNAV have sold 500 units of V7 vario in last
two years. There must be a good reason. ??
When you consider that Seeyou and LX NAV as companies, are very closely
aligned, you will understand why the Oudie/V7 combination has been such a
great success .
