Turbo 695 Perform gestures without switching focus to map window Other enhancement new 2010-12-10T11:31:42Z 2010-12-10T12:18:08Z Currently gestures can only be made in the map window. The gesture switches the focus to the map window, hence only map window functions can be performed with gestures. For example, attempting to increase the value of an infobox by selecting the infobox with one tap and then making a down->up gesture on the map window currently triggers a zoom-in event on the map window. It would be useful if gestures worked throughout, eg. down->up gesture always performs the same function as a press of the hardware 'up arrow' key with no change of focus. staylo 1449 Aircraft symbol - gone Other defect new 2011-09-11T12:33:17Z 2011-09-11T19:16:59Z "The aircraft symbol vanished completely from the screen -- everything else was still there, and the map view was being updated just fine.

When flying I like having the task in the LX and on the PDA, as it stands right now I have to program the task in twice. It would be nice to have XCSoar send the task to the LX instrument so that it can be stored in the device memory. With the planned support for .cup files this will become less cumbersome as the task planing can be done in SeeYou and then transferred to XCSoar on a memory card and uploaded to the device using ConnectMe, but being able to do the task planning in XCSoar and uploading it to the LX would the ultimate solution. luke 351 Task: More statistics Task enhancement new 2010-07-04T18:40:29Z 2010-07-04T18:40:29Z After or during a flight the analysis dialog could show statistics like avg speed or time spent on each leg of the task.

My suggestions: -Add a 3rd warning level: 1. In range, 2. Near, 3. Inside -Add a message window that appears when there is one or multiple airspaces in range (level 1). This window should not be screenfilling like the warning-dialog-list but should appear in the normal map screen (like status reports: ""task started""...). It must contain 3 lines: 1. Closest airspace above my position: Distance in m or ft and Name 2. Closest airspace horizontally: Distance and Name 3. Closest airspace below my position: Distance and Name Each line should be highlighted: Green: In Range Yellow: Near Red: Inside The window must be continouusly visible when there is one or multiple airspaces in range, that are not deactivated by the user! If there is an airspace beside me and no airspace above me, show the vertical distance to the border of the airspace mentioned in line 2 in line 1. Same logic should apply reversed: The horizontal distance to the border of an airspace above or below should be shown in line 2 (although there is no further airspace in range horizontally). When the warning level of one or multiple airspaces switches to ""near"", open the known warning dialog with the known options. In this way, there is no need to create a new graphic- window for the airspaces or to make significant changes to the existing warning dialog.

In this dialog you should add the option of changing upper and lower limit of the airspace (by clicking on the altitude). This temporarily changed altitude should remain changed until the next day. It should not be resetted when restarting the program after closing it or after the PDA crashed (for example to allow setting the sector altitudes in the briefing, switching the PDA off and having them later when starting the PDA before launch). To set the altitudes you should implement the option of changing the reference from QNH to FL (1013) and back. A check mark ""FL"" would do so. When this functionality is implemented, you should add a button ""reset altitude"" to the above mentioned dialog. Also a button ""reset all altitudes"" should be added to the dialog config>airspaces.

The auto/manual type is a const attribute to that specific turn class. - Or: That attribute could be configurable for each turn with having it preset to the turns default. - Or: Again establish a global config item like (On, Racing only, Off), and derive the proper setting of each turns attribute according the e.g. ""Racing"" rule. - For all solution of influencing the auto/manual advance behavior, the option to override have to stay.

However, if on the ""1 Site"" configuration screen, a Map file is specified and a Waypoint 1 file is also specified, then only the waypoints in the latter file can be seen in any of the waypoint browsing screens, and the waypoints in the Map file are no longer visible on the map display. The same thing happens if a Waypoint 2 file is specified rather than a Waypoint 1 file.

Depending on where you are, inside or outside the airspace, you either have to select Acknowledge Warning if you are outside or Acknowledge Space if you are inside which can be confusing. On the other hand Acknowlege Day seems to work independently of where you are. I preferred the old implementation (which is still in the manual by the way) in which you could select either of them independently of being inside or outside the airspace. To me the most logical rationale would be to select Acknowledge Warning if you wanted to be warned again when the warning level increases or to select Acknowlege Space if you don't want to be warned again while you are in or near the airspace. I think that Acknowledge Space should work in such a way that a new warning for that airspace should only be triggered if you have left the airspace far enough that the warning level has dropped to 0 but then you head again to the airspace and the warning level increases to 1."

Hi, I wonder what is the simplest way of inserting a waypoint while editing a task, assuming start and finish are already given. When in the 'Edit Task' window you have the option '(add waypoint)'. However, this option only allows you to append a waypoint to the task. This means that the settings for the finish point are lost and the finish point is transformed into the pre-last turning point. This is not very handy. Of course you can go out of the 'Edit Task' window and back to the waypoint list or map window and insert from there, go back to task editing and save your task, but this is rather clumsy. I thought it might be possible to move the '(add waypoint)' label in the 'Edit Task' window up and down by means of the up/down arrow, but this doesn't seem to work.

The problem is that IE converts the "".xcm"" map file extension to .zip.

This is the default behaviour for IE. I just got off the phone with a new user, who downloaded the US_NORTHEAST map, and it was called US_NORTHEAST.zip when he put it in the XCSoarData folder. To make matters worse, this person had Windows configured to hide known file extensions, so renaming the file to US_NORTHEAST.xcm required either going to DOS or reconfiguring windows to display known file extensions.

Potential solutions: 1) we detect IE browsers and tell users they can't download map files, and they should use Chrome or Firefox. Or, 2) we change XCSoar to acknowledge .zip map files. Or, 3) we change the way the website serves up the downloads so IE does not rename them.

This enhancement ticket is a small subset of ticket #1788 and represents the most critically important part of that ticket in the hopes that it can still be implemented for version 6.3. Currently has been scheduled for v6.4. With respect to the margin of the glider's glidepath (and taking into account terrain safety margin) to the currently selected destination: 1. If the margin is negative at any point in the glidepath, then in addition to the X in the side Glide Bar, a negative red number is shown next to this X with the required minimum additional altitude needed for the glidepath to clear all terrain in the glidepath. This assumes the same MC value used to evaluate terrain clearance for the display of the X. The number is necessary next to the Glide Bar to make sure it is always visible regardless of map zoom mode, circling, etc. 2. If the margin is negative, then an X is displayed on the map at the point of the lowest margin with a label next to it indicating with a negative red number the margin to clear the glidepath from terrain. This is a different X than the one currently used to display the nearest point of intersection with terrain. Assumes MC selected in configuration (Safety or Task). Note that in certain cases, this X will not be visible on the map (could be outside the currently displayed map area). If having two Xs on the map is deemed undesirable, then the X next to the Glide Bar should be sufficient. 3. An infobox is provided to display the lowest margin over terrain at any time, positive or negative, in the glidepath to destination and also the distance from the current location to this point.

I suggest to have a third flag, akin to Sync from/to flags, named ""declare tasks"". When tasks are declared, they are sent to all available devices that have this flag set.

Note: although the full implementation of this proposal is recommended, maximal immediate benefit for the least amount of changes in the proposal below would be achieved by implementing just the [(2)Margin over terrain infobox] enhancement. This is the part that I consider has the priority as ""Highest"" under this ticket. In such case, it is highly recommended that the value of the existing Alt Req/Diff/Arr infoboxes be colored RED if terrain safety altitude is violated along the glidepath to the waypoint, even if the actual value is positive. 1. Altitude Req infobox, glide bar Enhance or add new Altitude Req/Diff/Arr infoboxes that provide the minimum altitude info to reach the selected waypoint while preserving both constraints of minimum arrival height AND terrain safety altitude along the glidepath to the selected waypoint. The waypoint label for the selected waypoint is shown even if the glider is below glidepath to the selected waypoint. The glide bar reflects this calculation as well. The infobox and glide bar values take into account the MC setting, either Manual or AutoMC. Recommend an enhancement that a short touch on the Altitude Req/Diff/Arr infobox toggles this value between the value corresponding to MC=0 and the set value for MC=(TaskMC or AutoMC depending on the setting). If this is implemented, the infobox should display the MC value inside to confirm to the pilot which MC the value refers to. This enhancement can be made configuration-dependent so the pilot can still choose the current way of displaying this information (ie, without considering terrain). Or a new infobox can be added and the current one be left as is. If the current infobox is still available, then the value of the Alt Req/Diff/Arr infoboxes should be colored RED if terrain safety altitude is violated on the glidepath to the waypoint, even if the actual value is positive. 2. Margin over terrain infobox This information provides the pilot the margin relative to the terrain along the glidepath to the selected waypoint and along the current course line, including terrain safety margin. Two new infoboxes are introduced that will display the difference between the highest terrain elevation and the expected glider altitude at the location of this highest terrain along: (a) the straight line glidepath to the currently selected waypoint and (b) a straight line extension of the current course line (up to a configurable distance) A short touch on the infoboxes toggles the display between values based on MC=0 and MC=(TaskMC or AutoMC) This margin value should be relative to (ground elevation + terrain safety altitude). This margin is also to be displayed as a label next to the X at the closest location to the glider on the map where the expected violation of terrain safety margin is expected to occur, and next to the X on the glide bar. 3. Distance to highest terrain obstacle infobox Two new infoboxes to display the distance from the current glider position to the location of the highest terrain elevation along: (a) the straight line glidepath to the currently selected waypoint and (b) a straight line extension of the current course line (up to a configurable distance) 4. Distance to collision point with terrain Two new infoboxes to display the distance from the current glider position to the location of expected impact with the terrain assuming the current glidepath is maintained, along: (a) the straight line glidepath to the currently selected waypoint and (b) a straight line as extension of the current course line (up to a configurable distance) " davida 6.3 688 LiveTrack24 tracking Other 6.3 enhancement assigned 2010-12-09T08:12:01Z 2012-03-28T23:28:30Z "I have a suggestion for an improvement to XCSoar.

Two features that are missing on many commercial flight computers are 1) indication of how old the current vector wind calculation is and 2) a figure of merit that checks the current vector wind calc against the current (normally very accurate) HW/TW value.

This is useful for tasks that include any type of non-thermal lift such as ridge, wave, etc. The challenge with this enhancement is the design -- we don't want to create a semi-hidden parameter, so that the pilot forgets that he is in this override mode. We need to find a balance of exposing this parameter at the right places (e.g. task calculator, possibly targets, where else? It is independent of the MC Speed so should not affect the MC infobox. Uncertain of design.) From T8: the problem with Mc setting is that XCS cannot anticipate things that a human can: a 100 mile ridge run a 40 mile cloud street a 30 mile blue hole I've seen all three on one flight! the optimizer tries to do too much based on history. History is history. I would rather enter an expected avg speed for the remainder of the task. So let's say 3 hr AAT, I fly 2 hours at 70 mph for 140 miles, it's turning blue and I can see an inversion, I think it's going to go really poochy.

Zur Erläuterung möchte ich bemerken, dass ich das Programm auf einem Windowsrechner teste und im Flugzeug selbst nicht probieren kann. Möglicherweise ist manches, was ich hier für nötig halte, auch schon implementiert. Wenn das so sein sollte, bitte ich um Nachsicht. Ich schreibe auch in Deutsch, da ich diese Dinge auf Englisch nicht so erläutern kann. Aber nun das, was meiner Meinung nach in die Software hinein müsste, um sie voll motorflugtauglich zu machen. 1. Man müsste einstellen können, mit welcher Flugzeugart man fliegt, also Segelflugzeug oder Motorflugzeug ( bzw. UL ). 2. Um Routen geschmeidig planen zu können, müsste man die Karte in einen Editiermodus umstellen können, damit man Wegpunkte per Antippen auf der Karte in die Route aufnehmen kann ( auch Flugplätze bzw. Fluggelände ). Man könnte so eine komplette Route graphisch auf der Karte erstellen. Weiterhin sollte es möglich sein, z. B. durch längeres Antippen eines Punktes auf der Karte einen Wegpunkt zu erzeugen und diesen dann durch Antippen und Ziehen mit dem Finger an eine beliebige Stelle zu setzen. Es sollte möglich sein, diese so erzeugten Wegpunkte in die Wegpunktdatei per Wegpunkteditor zu übernehmen. Wenn Du die Möglichkeit hast, schaue Dir doch mal das Air Nav Pro an. Das ist das recht gut gelöst. Natürlich sollte man Wegpunkte auch per Wegpunkteditor erfassen können. 3. Bei Landeplätzen mit ICAO-Kennung sollte diese auf der Karte erscheinen und man sollte diese Plätze auch mit der Kennung beim Erstellen einer Route suchen können. Das ist aber nicht unbedingt ein „MUSS“. 4. Für die Errechnung der Restflugzeiten zum nächsten Wegpunkt und zum Ziel darf nur die geflogene Geschwindigkeit bzw. die durchschnittliche Geschwindigkeit der vielleicht letzten 10 Minuten ( auf diese Zeit kann ich mich nicht festlegen ) und die noch zu fliegende Strecke herangezogen werden. Bei einem Test mit einer IGC-Datei kamen irre Flugzeiten heraus, weil wahrscheinlich irgendwelche veranschlagten Kurbelzeiten mit eingerechnet werden. Das könnte man mit der Einstellung der Flugzeugart steuern. 5. Ein Schmankerl wäre auch ein Flugbuch, das die Blockzeit für Start und Landung sowie die Startzeit und die Landezeit speichert. Außerdem natürlich das Datum und den Startplatz und Landeplatz. 6. Unbedingt erforderlich sind die Anflugkarten der Flugplätze. Die Platzrunden würden aber auch ausreichen. Die jeweilige Anflugkarte sollte in einer bestimmten Entfernung bzw. Zeit vor dem anzufliegenden Platz eingeblendet werden. Die Frage ist natürlich, wo man die Anflugkarten herbekommt.

" tibor.arpas 6.3 2039 concept of alternates / multiple navigation targets User Interface 6.3 enhancement new 2012-04-25T18:14:54Z 2013-01-20T20:41:42Z "This ticket is all about the “alternates” feature in XCSoar, about which I have mixed feelings. At first, a strategy controlled algorithm (none, task, home) to find landable spots is undoubtedly a good idea. Yet XCSoar is poor when it comes to using these alternates. There is – as far as I know XCSoar – only one way to make use of the alternates which appear in the list as found by the algorithm: I have to select one of them and then say “goto”. Then this point becomes the focus of navigation. All task navigation disappears. I have to admit, it is then relatively easy to revoke the task navigation. Apart from that, XCSoar also provides two nav boxes “altn 1” and “altn 2”, which always show the first and second entry of the alternates list. Since that list is being updated as I fly, the content of the two leading positions of the list may change, and in consequence the content of the two nav boxes changes. To me, these two nav boxes are not of any practical use. In order to demonstrate what would be of good practical use I am building a ""use case"", the description of a complex, real flight situation. I apologize to the many guys who are flying elsewhere in this world, as this example is tied to southeastern France, my favorite playground. I trust that by analogy they can transpose this example into their environment. The data files given with this ticket should make it easy to run the example. Let’s assume I am on a high summer flight in the Southern French Alps in the area northeast of Briançon, coming back from Aosta, aiming for Klaus Ohlmann’s field in Serres. The day is slowly dying; it is around 18:30. Basically, there are two courses I can fly: Down the entire Durance valley, passing by St. Crépin, then the Lac de Serres-Ponçon, then crossing the basin of Gap either south or north of the town, or the short way through the Pas de la Cavalle, cutting off some 15 km. Let’s assume the weather is not trivial. West of the Ecrins a huge cumulus builds up into a congestus with a clear tendency of starting fireworks. I have seen that CB from afar, coming from Italy. Now as I cross the Col d’Étache, I wonder if the CB will soon fall over the Barre des Écrins making me totally miserable with a forced landing in St. Crépin or even Le Rosier or St. Blaise or if it is decent enough to stay west of the big mountains for a while, so it gives me enough time to dive through the upper Briançonnais before it will swamp down the valley of Lautaret. And let’s assume there is another CB building in the valley of Barcelonette, at the Grand Berard, with the standard tendency to grow westward and close the mouth of the Durance valley. Altogether a situation not unheard of, when the CBs make you hurry. As I fly over Briançon, I aim for the Pas de la Cavalle. I need to know if I can make it. I need distance and course. What I want to see continuously is the excess altitude that I will have when I pass the pass. I have a MacCready setting to dictate my speed. Since I know I fly through falling air, I need another MacCready setting added to calculate the extra altitude I need to expend on the way to reach the pass. Let’s also assume the wind is known in general. Then XCSoar should tell me: • Time needed to reach the pass (important to judge if it is still reasonable to aim for it – when the CB starts to cut off my way, minutes make a huge difference). • The excess altitude with which I will end up with crossing the pass. • The geometric glide ratio required to cross the pass at the given safety altitude. If that is getting bigger as I approach the pass that is a very bad sign indeed. As I get closer to the pass, the CB of the Ecrins extends to the southeast, moving into my way. It is paramount in that situation to see if the pass stays in reach as I fly through the outskirts of the CB fallout. The later I decide not to go through the pass, the more time I will spend in the main valley, with the thunderstorm chasing me and the dying day killing my chances to get home. In terms of XCSoar that would require three simultaneous and independent final glide computations compared to the single computation executed now. My request is to have – on top of the existing computation tied to the task given - two selectable waypoints (let’s call these points A and B), which are independent from any task navigation. The system should let me see the essential parameters (see below) with little effort (few button hits, better a dedicated page in final glide mode). I have added a mockup for a new alternates page of XCSoar. When calculating the computer should take into account • The plane’s performance (polar curve) • Ballast • Any deterioration (a factor for bugs, Ramy’s factor for the unexperienced pilot and deteriorated plane, etc.) • Wind • MacCready setting (to calculate air speed) • MacCready setting to accommodate for falling air masses • Safety altitude (in case the target is landable) • Terrain avoidance altitude (in case the target is a pass) And the computer should show • Course and distance to the selected waypoint (A or B) • Time needed to reach the waypoint (A or B) • The altitude above safety or terrain avoidance altitude with which I will reach the waypoint (A or B) • The geometric glide ratio required to reach the waypoint (A or B) at the safety or terrain avoidance altitude. (If that is getting bigger as you approach the target that is a very bad sign indeed.) • The moving map should show the course lines to these points To have two such selectable waypoints (instead of only one) is a matter of convenience and proven experience that it is useful to have the possibility to watch for two points at a time. Another little example : Imagine you fly along a course where landable fields are pretty scarce. There is one ahead of you, the other one behind you. You will need both indications to stay in the glide cone of at least one field. The information MUST take into account the wind and all other flight parameters (ballast, bugs, degradations, type of aircraft, etc.). Now compare these use cases to the current implementation of the alternates feature of XCSoar. There are two nav boxes with no final glide computation (apart from one glide ratio indication). Yet the pilot has no control over what is shown there. An algorithm, no matter how helpful that is intended to be, keeps changing the content of the nav boxes as it finds better alternates. Most notably right now, it interchanges the two alternates. So the first and utmost requirements is: The alternates must be pilot selected and selectable. The default is the home base. Choosing an alternate is a sound decision of a pilot and must never be revised by an algorithm. Where from should the pilot select the alternates? 1. From the alternates list 2. from the list of all turnpoints 3. by selection on the map. I suggest to have two alternate final glide computations, similar to the computation for the next turnpoint, independent of all task navigation, so that there is no need to switch computation context. Since images make things clearer than text, I have added a mockup to this ticket. It should finally be marked that this concept of alternate implementation would also open up the opportunity to dial in an arbitrary target and communicate bearing and distance for wide distance team flying.

An option to set a screen timeout period would resolve this problem. A lot (most) of our flying, especially cross-country is very much focussed on a desperate search for the next source of lift and eyes on instruments time is limited to specific times, thermalling near airspace etc. Turning on the screen involves a quick tap on a key (or use of an App to activate with shake/tilt etc) and the info we need can be gathered in a relatively short time. If we could set this period (to taste) pre-flight and have a toggle button to select 'timer on/timer off' for special needs that would solve the battery issue in one fell swoop and make XCSoar a far more feasable option for any pilot with a smartphone.

This is handy in the club situation where you may fly a variety of aircraft, as you can have a ""profile"" for each aircraft. Different aircraft have different performance, since some are just-off-the-factory-floor and others are battered and bruised. Their performance difference can be catered for by specifying different ""polar degradation"" values. However, there is currently only one ""global"" polar degradation setting, in Glide Computer > Safety Factors. My suggestion is to allow a polar degradation value to be included in each ""profile"", which would then allow one to specify that one aircraft has little if any performance degradation, whereas another has a significant degradation.

The ballast number from the B800 is 1.39 for this ((140/360) +1) The 0.39 is internally set in the B800 during B800 polar setup. Different gliders will have different numbers up to 1.6. Note the B800 sends ballast data only on increments of 10% to the maximum of 100%. This accords with the CAI302 protocol for ballast.

Damping - User selectable options for integration of variometer output in the range 0.5 though 5s. The current signal is impossibly underdamped. 2. Audio - User selectable options for 2.1 Tone and duration with signal change, e.g. rising and falling tone and/or increasing/decreasing duration of fixed tone with lift or sink. 2.2 Quiet bands e.g. no audio between two chosen lift/sink parameters in climb, different parameters for cruise 3. Vario and Audio - Independent user selectable options for displayed and audible signal according to flight mode e.g. vario displays actual rate of climb in thermal mode, relative (expected rate of climb) in cruise while, at the same time, audio offers actual rate of climb in thermal mode, netto (airmass) in cruise. Options to include, actual rate of climb, netto, relative, speed command, etc. 4. Vario and Audio - Total energy, ok this one might not be so easy :-) Why is this justified? For all pilots of non fixed wing aircraft this would provide a single device providing all necessary flight data. For fixed wing pilots who fly multiple aircraft with different instrumentation it would provide a familiar device providing all necessary flight data reducing cockpit workload which should increase pilot performance and safety. If the data was provided by external sensors (e.g. variometer, flarm, flight recorder, etc.) the benefit would be user customisation, e.g. tone choice (Cambridge beep versus Rico tick), audio configuration, etc." Gras Albert 6.4 2080 Combined OZ Other 6.4 enhancement new 2012-05-11T22:31:47Z 2012-05-11T22:31:47Z "It'll be good to be able to select FAI start line and start sector (resp. finish) together in order to make sure a valid start/finish was achieved.

This virtual airport would be automatically indicated with all attributes and settings chosen by the user (as per existing datsbase wpts,: required L/D; color coding; height of arrival with respect of the current position, Mc Cready setting, wind etc…).

One of the issues mentioned by some pilots using XCsoar and myself is that vario sink beep starts around -0.5m/s and that is very annoying thing, we paraglider pilots enjoy a silent flight, First issue was of that dead band continuous beeping, that finally was corrected with an option to disable it ( i believe leave it disabled should come as standard to avoid confusion with beginners using XCSoar) we don't want a vario beeping in our heads unnecessarily all the flight long, a paraglider sink rate is around -1.0m/s and roughly paragliders pilots put the sink to start to beep at -1.5m/s. This was the main issue about the vario together witht he vario over peeping after stop climbing ( that is an old non solved issue yet) It would be great if you developers could add an option to be able to choose the Sink Value we want to for the vario to start beeping.

Other devices like LX or Zander ZS1 allow to adjust altitude and the inherent QNH on ground separately and '''link''' them after take-off. If air pressure changes during the flight, the QNH can be re-adjusted and by this, the indication of altitude and FL is then also changing and shown correct. XCSoar (6.4. and 6.5) is only working with ""linked"" altitude and QNH and it is impossible to adjust both separately (the real altitude and the correct QNH) on ground. One of both is always wrong and then afterwards also in flight!

DGFlija 6.4 2602 Starting before the open start time - Distance glitch Task 6.4 enhancement new 2013-02-16T19:27:50Z 2013-02-17T09:53:55Z "After some time out, I went back to find a beautiful app that runs nicelly on my android. So I started to play with the app using Condorsoaring, and trying to re-create our last hanggliding local meet, flying the tasks as we flew them. The starts are still somehow messed up for hanggliding and paragliding events but there are plenty of tickets around on the same matter so probably some of the developers would feel sad about us and introduce the enhacement. Anyway I was just trying to ""manually"" fly the tasks with some Infoboxes with time so I can fly our start cylinders on the same way. Nevertheless there seems to be a glitch on the software. Let´s say we have a 2 km exit cylinder start that opens up at 12:00, and we are flying at 11:45 near the cylinder. Then there´s a nice cunimb outside our cylinder. If we fly outside the cylinder before 12:00, even when you have configured the start to open at 12:00, and on the clock it stated ""waiting"" while counting down, xcsoar would give you a valid start and will automatically point you out in the next direction. Fortunatelly as I´m sitting on a chair while doing this, I can navigate to the menu, hit NAV, and then go back to the start. It shows again the start as the next waypoint and on the map the cylinder is once again filled yellow (as pending). The glitch would be that the distance to the turnpoint won´t be able to show the actual distance to the start cylinder, but the distance to the next turnpoint after the start, so only way to figure out how far are you from the cylinder is to look up at the screen and guess. So in less words: If you go back to the start after getting it, the distance to the turnpoint (cylinder) won´t.

In particular, at the moment I'm looking at displaying locations of masts (radio transmission towers, etc). I've looked at the topology.tpl file, and it includes a column named ""icon"". Looking at the related code, this needs to contain the resource id (number in resource.h) of the icon. 0 for no icon (e.g. 346 = IDB_TOWER, 5346 = IDB_TOWER_HD) Looking at the TopographyFileRenderer.cpp constructor, the only icon that will display is the town icon (yellow circle) (IDB_TOWN = 346), and I tested this and confirmed that this does work, and others don't. I don't know enough about this to know why the town icon is any different from others, but the following piece of code allows the tower icon to also work: int icon_ID = file.GetIcon(); switch(icon_ID) { case IDB_TOWER: case IDB_TOWN: icon.Load(icon_ID, icon_ID + 5000); } If the icon image was picked up as a PNG (or whatever) file from the .XCM, rather than by a resource ID, it would be much easier to add/customize icons (e.g. attached is mast.png file which is a better icon for a radio transmitter than IDB_TOWER) rather than having to add them into the XCSoar project.

Usually I use a Flymaster F1 together with my Android phone and I'm pretty satisfied. Unfortunately the XCSoar *.igc files are not considered valid for online competitions. XCsoar are supposedly ""not safe"" because it uses a public key. To have valid IGC files recorded by XCSoar it must use an alternate validation scheme, with non-public key, not subjected to GPL licence, and a separated validator.exe. Using a non-public is the way to have XCSoar's IGC files considered valid for online or real-time competitions. It has been done by LK8000 developers for Brazil and UK, and now the IGC files recorded by LK8000 are accepted as valid for competitions. The developer of xcbrasil.com.br is willing to work together, provide the validation keys and allow xcsoar to be considered a valid IGC record for competitions (both online (xc) and real competitions). Is it possible to have such development? Making XCSoar's igc files valid for competitions would encourage many pilots to use it, even as a backup logger.

Could you please open up a ticket on our bug tracker for this feature request? (unless there is one already...) Thanks! Turbo 2012/12/27 Ian : I think the objective is to have XCsoar respond to deliberate input and not inadvertent input. In my case the inadvertent inputs are mainly ""tap map"" inputs. Other occasional inadvertent inputs are from touching the Android soft buttons. (I don't think there is much that can be done about the soft keys and they are, literally, a much smaller problem.) The Android ""long touch"" is available on the platform, it is not being used for anything else at the moment and (like gestures) is highly unlikely to be input inadvertently. The ""tap map"" function is only required occasionally, hence my suggestion to use a long touch to access this feature. A lock screen function would require an additional action to unlock it before any other input could be made. After unlocking the screen you can still activate ""tap map"" by mistake while entering gestures etc. This might work for paragliding pilots but for me it would be a bit overkill.

I soared locally in the start and finish sectors (semi-circles with 6km radius) and outside them. Then I decided I do not want to fly XC, so manually set the ""Next waypoint"" to the finish WP. This completely confused the navigation and the glide computer! It navigated to random points in the finish sector (semi-circle), which I have previously flown over. These navigation target was dependent on the current position and reproducible. Some of there wrong navigation targets were located near the end of the finish line, i.e. almost 6km away from the finish waypoint. Some were within the finish sector. I think the track line of the last leg also changed to end on the wrong finish point, but I'm not 100% sure (I had to look out as well...). Initially, when changing back the ""Next waypoint"" to the start WP, the navigation worked. After another 30mins or so, this gave the same kind of errors as with the finish WP, i.e. navigation to random points. I don't know whether ""Goto"" would have worked, as I have not tried it.

We might enable a locale config for the UNIX build to choose between English and Localized, or we should ignore the locale in the profile.

Other unspecified enhancement new 2012-02-20T13:57:35Z 2013-01-15T12:42:23Z "Background: One of the most powerful features of XCSoar is the information available to the pilot and the ease of customizing the display of this information to be useful to the needs of individual pilots. As useful as these features are they are not equally easy for everyone to read and comprehend in flight. Basically there is too much information in some boxes and the name labels are not intuitive to all pilots and must be learned by rote to deliver their effectiveness. Please consider the following additional attributes and parameters to make Info Pages and Info Box information more meaningful to the user and to enhance readability. AUX INFO PAGE Allow edit of AUX INFO PAGE names to assign a name that describes the function similar to the default Circling, Cruise and Final Glide. e.g. AUX INFO PAGE 1 might be configured to provide info prior to the start and might be named START WINDOW or PRE-START or whatever the user finds easier to understand. INFO BOXES Minimum changes required to enhance readability 1. Allow individual box names to be edited and renamed or left blank. e.g. I might like to rename AA dT to FINISHOK someone else may be happier with GOFINISH. 2. Add a blank info box with no characters to provide white space. There are plenty of AUX INFO pages. This allows for less information on more pages which reduces clutter and enhances readability. 3. Add INFO BOX parameter no borders. Works in conjunction with blank boxes to provides white space. 4.Allow INFO BOX borders to be dragged to increase or decrease width. 5.

Rationale: True stall horns and angle-of-attack instruments require hardware, but in order to prevent stalls during the approach phase - specifically the typical stall/spin accident during the turn to final - I assume that a speed monitor will go a long way, and is simple if not trivial to implement, if ASI data is available. UI: Provide a radio control for airspeed warning (off, manual, auto), an input field specifying the minimum safe airspeed for approaches. Implementation: Hard-code a minimum height (AGL) for the system's activation. Activate the system below this height, but only if aircraft has been in motion above the minimum speed several seconds (catch winch launch failures and other early releases). If ASI reported by external device drops below the minimum speed, warn immediately. Play sound or, if possible, pre-recorded ""speed!"" verbal announcement. Auto mode: calculate Vref=1.3xVso, based on ballast, bugs (?), and glider data (is the polar indicative), plus a wind component (assuming we're landing into wind). Caveats: ASI information may be unreliable during slips. This requires reliable ASI input, 3D GPS fix, and terrain data. Pilots might choose a higher or lower Vref based on gust factors, terrain properties and so on, but this is intended to serve as a backup warning system rather than an approach speed calculator." davidswelt unspecified 2031 CAI302 Configuration Devices unspecified enhancement new 2012-04-23T15:28:25Z 2012-04-23T15:28:25Z Add CAI302 configuration utility to allow for changing Pilot Name, Vario type (TE, Netto, Super Netto), Polar and other config items found in the CAI utility program that ran under windows CE luke unspecified 2078 Wind indicator: Combine arrow and windspeed into single item Map unspecified enhancement new 2012-05-11T11:06:52Z 2012-05-11T11:48:02Z "Wind arrow: dark fill and white outline.

For both Pribina Cup and Fatra Glide competitions in Slovakia and the Danish Nationals, the subdivisions of TMA's and restricted sectors are overlapping, so having them all displayed at the same time clutters the screen. Currently the only way to get a clean display with only the active airspaces displayed is to edit the airspace file, commenting out the airspaces not active for any given day. It is not very practical having to do this on computer and upload to PDA between briefing and gridding at competitions. It would be a great help, if a feature where it is possible to see all airspaces sorted alphabetially and enable/disable them could be implemented. For my purpose, it would be fine that the choises made regarding enabled/disabled airspaces are permanent until edited again. Disabled airspaces should be completely discarded by XCSoar, i.e. not displayed and not warned about. This feature *could* be implemented by adding a checkbox ""Hide acknowledged airspaces"", but I think the current functionality, where acknowledged airspaces are visible as outline only should remain, as they are convenient for navigation, and even though ATC has cleared an airspace, they may still require the pilot to report entering/leaving the area. This requires the airpace to be visible, even though it is ACK'ed.

This proposal is to add a voice warning which would be triggered automatically at a predefined distance from a finish line and/or turn point. The voice warning would repeatedly say the current distance and the current altitude difference to the minimum finish altitude. When approaching a turn point, the voice warning would repeatedly say only the current distance to the turn point. Examples: 1.

'''SPOT''' Spot offers an API with an XML interface for tracking data: [http://faq.findmespot.com/index.php?action=showEntry&data=69] To enable tracking via SPOT the user would need to enter the URL to his track feed in Skylines. '''ADS-B''' I'm not sure where how exactly this data can be collected. One possibility may be an interface to flightradar24.de or similar plattforms. An alternativ may be direct contact to ADS-B recievers and getting this data from the ADS-B community. Skylines would need to include an entry field for the transponder Id to enable ADS-B tracking. '''Privacy''' For privacy protection the ADS-B data source could include a validated activation via normal XcSoar tracking. Skylines would compare Skylines and ADS-B position data to determine that the account owner is also the pilot of the ADS-B equipped glider and activate ADS-B tracking for a limited time.

But it would be easier if it is done over one COM port only. In device/edit menu you can select '''''Sync. to device''''' ON or OFF. How about adding one more option there, NMEA out. When selected, XCSoar would send GPRMC and GPRMB sentences, maybe also Cambridge PCAIB or other ones, I suppose the receiving device just ignores those it cannot utilize.

ClearNav has a similar display technique, but doesn't connect the dots with a line, and this can cause confusion when circles overlap. Unfortunately the WinPilot author is no longer interested in maintaining that software, so I have moved to your wonderful XCSoar system. XCSoar also has a vario-scaled breadcrumb display, but it uses variable-width lines instead of dots, and doesn't seem to have a very wide range of line widths/colors.

Suggest using a dynamic / user adjustable 'floor elevation' at which the terrain rendering is gradually cut off - ie tends towards white - regardless of the palette and shading settings. The floor elevation could be a static value based on analysis of the entire DEM or dynamic based on the elevations in the current view window, and/or could be raised according to a 'declutter' setting.

A system is suggested which represents infoboxes and widgets as objects which can be placed on a grid. The user can choose between several sizes for each object. A particular size of infobox (the 'half height' infobox) is proposed which omits either the title or comment. This concept attempts to resolve the issues listed above and increases the flexibility of screen layout (eg users may choose to use only a row of half-height infoboxes, increasing the mapwindow screen area, or may choose to have a low information-density first page of infoboxes followed by a high information-density second page.

The idea was to alter the reachability indicator for each airfield on the mapwindow to incorporate a scale of arrival height, modelled on the final glide indicator. The hope was that this would provide a method for displaying a rough guide to circling drift vs arrival height. Unfortunately, after going through the first stages of designing the concept it appears to be unworkable in its intended role, for two fundamental reasons: - Firstly, the map window is a cluttered environment and it's vital that the situation is readable at a glance. Simple geometric shapes such as circles are much easier to pick out against background clutter than the complex shapes that result from this concept. - By modelling the indicator on the behaviour of the final glide bar, the size of the indicator is at its smallest when the arrival altitude tends towards zero. This makes the airfield harder to pick out against background clutter at marginal final glides, especially in the use case that a safety height is used to make arrival height=0 the preferred arrival height." staylo unspecified 2074 2.5D FLARM traffic display FLARM unspecified enhancement new 2012-05-09T23:10:09Z 2012-05-09T23:10:09Z "This is put forward as a work in progress, not necessarily suggesting the idea is implemented as shown but it may be useful as a basis for further ideas: [[BR]] 2.5D traffic displays were [http://www.postfrontal.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6292 recently mentioned] on the LK8000 forum.
