Didn't XCSoar 5.x had two flight modes: en route: take drift during circling into account for required height display on glidebar final glide: show arrival height on glidebar for current MC setting assuming no circling
If there was such a functionality implemented in 6.x (maybe it is already and I have missed it?) then everyone would be happy. If you prefer the current system, stay in "en route" mode. If you want XCSoar to mimic the other flight computers in your cockpit change to "final glide" mode. Maybe these modes should get more descriptive names, but I liked the concept. Although I completely understand the new calculations in 6.2.x, I am confused by the numbers displayed. IMO changing to 0 MC is not really a good option, as it gives overly optimistic numbers. It is very hard to fly exactly at the best glide speed, never mind getting the polar right for the glider.
