I think you will find that there is already a bug on this, and it is waiting
for Triadis to provide us with the API to shut down. Ie. it is not in XCSoar
control, but rather part of the firmware. Check out the bug system to see any
open bugs:

Altair specific:

e.g. this bug is #1143 - http://www.xcsoar.org/trac/ticket/1143

Raise a ticket, but my guess is that it is not likely to make it into the 6
series. However there is a complete redesign of the interface happening for
future version. It could be considered for that.

This bug has been fixed but not in the production version yet. The new version
has a highlighted (purple I think) button, so really obvious).

Thanks Chad.
Don't forget to raise those tickets.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
