From a users point of view I would have to say that the 6.x series actually runs a lot more stable than the 5.2.4 release. I've been flying with 6.0/1 now for two years and every time the development version crashed, it crashed for a reason and we were able to fix it. If there are any specific patterns to those crashes then please let us know... Unless we have some sort of crash dump or a clue why it could have crashed unfortunatly there is nothing we can do about it. Windows Mobile is not quite the best operating system to debug on but since we are running on Android now too we will have better chances to catch bugs that are independent on the operating system.

I am also experiencing more crashes with the 6.x series on my iPaq HX4700 ranging from complete system lock up to just exiting from XCSoar to the OS. The crashes seem intermittent, and I can't isolate what the issue is. My next flights I will revert to 5.x series to see if the crashes persist.

    HI Adrien and List: I have had crashes also on my Binatone Z350
    PNA when adding the start point of a task.
    Tried both WM5 and PPC2003 versions, they crash at the same action.

        Hello,

        also had a chance to fly with v6.1 today on an iPaq 1950 with WM5.
        It crashed twice:
        - once when invoking NAV button, in fact XCSoar has just quit
        - once while showing airspace warning, ack worked fine before
        but this time it froze, I had to "hard" (?) reboot it the PDA.
        Now I have 3 flight logs... !
        I can not see a software log, is there one, in order to help
        understand what happened?

        By the way, it was very nice to use.

            Hi,
            some more flight testing before the thunderstorms moved in
            today....
            As already mentioned in point 7) below, there seems
            definitely some bug with the wind calculation in "circling
            mode" using an IPAQ 3780 (PPC 2000).  We had pretty a
            pretty constant wind of approx. 20-25km/h from the west /
            south west.  The LX7000 confirmed this, while XCSoar
            calculated max. 8 km/h from the south.
            Consequently the final glide calculation from XCSoar
            was 150-200m higher in comparison to the LX7000, although
            MC on the 7000 was set only to 0,5 and in XCSoar at 1,0.
            Could you please look into that and share your experience...
            As I remember, I didn't have this problem with neither
            version 6.09 or 6.010 on the IPAQ.
            Thanks a lot.
            Cheers,
            Sascha

            *Betreff:* [Xcsoar-user] Vers. 6.10 - Flight experience &
            questions?

            Hi,
            thanks for the great work.  Today I had a chance to flight
            test the new 6.10 version and now I have a few questions
            regarding the new functions / features:
            1) Could you please explain the interactions of
            the "arrival height display setting" and the "reach mode
            setting" and the value shown on the "final glide bar"
            (assuming arrival height 0, mc safety=mc manual, wind 0,
            goto mode)?  In case where everything is set to straight
            line the arrival height and the final glide bar value are
            the same as expected.  However once you set to turning or
            terrain avoid. differences occur (assuming terrain height
            unequal to 0).
            2) Same as above, but now with wind unequal to 0.  Here
            the final glide bar shows a lower value than the arrival
            height display.  That I don't understand, since I also
            expected the values to be equal (straigth line).  Could
            you explain this too please?
            3) How to turn off the thermal profile (blue blob above
            the glide bar)?
            4) With my IPAQ 3870 I used to be able to "drop markers"
            by pressing left on the central button.  It doesn't work
            any more (used to work in 6.09)?
            5) How to turn off / on gestures?
            6) How to turn off / on safety lock?
            7) Could you please share your experience with the wind
            calculation (my setting: circling, since I get the gps
            from flarm with no air speed data)?  It seemed, that in
            comparison to my LX7000 (wind: comb - zigzag and circling)
            the values differed quite a lot and more than in the past
            during circling.  However it could also been caused by the
            many wind shifts due to nearby thunderstorms and therefore
            I am not entirely sure.
            Sorry for the many questions - I love XCSoar and use it
            since version 4.2. and I just like to be able to explain
            the behavior of the glide calculator in order to estimate
            the impact of the many input parameters.
            Thanks a lot in advance.
            Cheers
            Sascha
