I will upgrade to 6.3.6 and give it a go next week.
I did not have a task set in the flight computer so it was just choosing to
show me final glide back to Avenal as the default behavior I think.
I don't think that Auto-MC should be making assumptions about how fast I
could/should fly to a next waypoint. I don't actually use XCSoar for speed
to fly, I use my L-nav for that, but I was curious what Auto-MC would
recommend so I tried it on my first flight with 6.3.5 a few weeks ago. Got
the same erroneous type of value. Actually I think it was the same value.
19.2 knots. So I turned it off and cranked down the MC to 2.
Yesterday I'd somehow managed to launch with MC Auto set. Got done with my
first climb that averaged 3.4 bottom to top and found MC at 19.2.
Somewhere in the 3 range would have been acceptable to me I think.
I'm just playing with auto-mc, I prefer to set these things manually given
the varied and dynamic conditions we have in central CA.
