Max, I am not sure why you say that XCSoar behaves like other flight computers and providing stable value. It doesn't. It assumes that I will stop to thermal since I use mc >0 below glide, which other computers don't. And as a result it produce very unstable value, unless you consider 5000 feet fluctuation on arrival altitude in couple of minutes a stable value.
Can we all conclude this discussion that XCSoar needs an urgent fix to make the new solvent optional for the select few who prefer it, and use the standard solvent for the rest of us. I think it is quiet obvious that this is what most prefer. Otherwise we will go on and on with this. Together with this fix we need the persistent polar degradation (to avoid having to use MC to degrade polar) and the option to decouple MC setting from 302 so we can set them independently. These are all related issues.
