I really enjoy the information XCSoar provides even on a stand-alone cheap PNA, as I have discussed in places like http://canberragliding.org/jforum/posts/list/1215.page
I had an interesting flight from Cooma on 5 August 2012. At one stage XCSoar said w/v 270/49 kmh at 8,000 AMSL. A couple of times XCSoar stopped stating 'landing'. And it would 'take off' any time ground speed exceeded say 30 kmh. Most inconvenient, particularly as the .igc log was similar stopped and restarted. Also, XCSoar would not calculate w/v perhaps because even 'thermalling' I was not flying circles [see attached log] because of high winds. I did 4 turns but had to stop 'thermalling' due cloud forming around and below us. I think I can reset 'takeoff' speed to a lower figure in Settings page 13 Default task rules. But I would be interested in comments on the use of XCSoar and best settings for wave flying. SMFSLT Alan Wilson Canberra Australia
