I must confess that I did not fly with the program yet. Maybe next weekend?
I however now I downloaded the Windows version on my desktop.
Yes I did play with arrival altitudes, set safety margins to zero and made
everything possible to be above glide to a waypoint.
The desktop reacts the same way; all waypoints remain red, the glide bar and
the alternate list will light up green and show "above glide" numbers but only
to the selected go-to waypoint.
I guess one should try to fly with it and that could be the acid test.

Steve, your explanation is likely correct but I question your bug report:
1: not a bug. Read up on your maccready theory! Below final glide, stf is
independent of wind.
2: in simulation, dolphin stf looks strange because the sink rate of the
glider is zero (suggesting you are in lift equal to the glider's sink rate
according to its polar)

Traffic lights look OK in simulation, but check your safety height. The
range line may be well past the landable, but the colour won't change to
green until your calculated arrival is above safety height.
I discovered a bug while testing this on my PC, for which I'll raise a
ticket:
1. When flying with speed to fly 'Off', the best speed to fly shows the
correct speed for the polar at the given weight, but ignores the wind
strength and direction until the range line is past the target. It then
displays the correct speed to fly for the weight, wind speed and
direction.
2. When flying with speed to fly 'On' the numbers appear to be meaningless.
Hope this helps
Steve

Hello Peter,
I tested traffic lights in simulation mode in both Windows and Android
(Streak) versions and all worked as expected. I am assuming you have tested
in simulation or flight and that you are displaying a GPS height sufficient
to reach one or more landable waypoints. The fact that the alternates list
displays green landables but the map does not suggests something peculiar to
your Android device or your installation.
I would download a fresh copy of XCSoar and try it again. Also try it on
another platform and see if you get different results. If you still get the
same results put in a ticket.

Streak users, has any one found a solution to downloading igc files from the
Streak to an SD card without connecting to a computer either directly or
through a network? The reason for my asking is that if I can hand in an SD
card for contest scoring using US contest scoring program Winscore
everything goes automatically otherwise there needs to be some interaction
from the scorer's computer or I need to fire up my computer and download to
the SD directly from the flight computer. Not a big problem because the
transfer can be made over the network or direct from the droid cable, but SD
is easier.
Bluetooth seems the obvious answer and I have found one that works for
Windows http://usb.brando.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00280.
Has anyone got a lead on an Android version that would do the same thing or
any other suggestions.
Thanks

I'm thinking about the same problem. This might be overkill but I
haven't actually tried it:

Hi Andy, you can download to the SD card in the streak, but you will have to
shut down the device to pull the card out. I'm guessing you're looking for an
alternate method?

I find that my reach display does not show until I'm up to around 13,000
ft MSL (7,000 ft AGL) and fields which are easily reachable and visually
obvious are shown as unreachable (red) because the reach display is way
short of my glider's actual performance. Can anyone suggest what I'm
doing wrong?
Running XCSoar 6.3 on a Samsung Galaxy Player Android. This has been
the case back to about version 6.2.4 when I discovered XCSoar.
Thanks for any help.
Dan
