Hi Turbo &  Ramy!

I just can´t follow the discussion - since XCS detects circeling, this feature should be toggled automatically - shouldn´t it?


Turbo wrote
'And it s h o u l d only be active if the map is in circling mode, in cruise and final glide the trail drift should be disabled.'

So what - is it or not?  Who knows it excactly?


When writing this feature in the de-manual I want to be sure, what the user can expect the software is doing -- not what the software s h o u l d do ;-)

Yes, this is what I am doing, but I wouldn't call 5-6 taps quickly...
Indeed it is only active during circling, but I was hoping for an easy way to turn it on and off, such as by changing pages, perhaps similar to the sticky zoom.

    You can quickly turn it on and off through Menu > Config > Wind >
    Thermal Drift

    And it should only be active if the map is in circling mode, in cruise
    and final glide the trail drift should be disabled.

    > I recently experimented with the trail drift option and found it
    helpful in thermals but confusing in wave and ridge. As such am
    looking for an easy way to switch it on and off. Looks like this
    can be done with 4 taps using the wind infobox. However since the
    tail drift is only active when circling, I would expect it to only
    be active in circling page, but currently, once this feature is
    enabled and the glider is circling, it is also active in cruise
    and final glide pages. Is this by design? Wouldn't it be better if
    it was only active in circling page so will be easier and quicker
    to see the trace with and without wind drift?
