(But I already get those from my Volkslogger and my Flarm so this is not an issue for me). Does XCSoar use GPS height or barometric height for final glide and terrain clearance calculations? If it uses barometric height, does it (can it) compensate for changes in QNH pressure? > 3) B500 TAS/IAS: The indicated airspeed was also bugged. I've fixed > it too. Would imply that the "zig zag" wind speed calculations were also bugged? If so that is a significant bug to fix. > Conclusion: Please wait for the next build that Max does and try > again with that one. That answers the question as to which version of XCsoar to run! Thanks for the great effort! I will give you some feedback in due course to make sure all of the above are working.
