Well, one more tidbit. While looking up something else I see that LX has introduced the LX166, which DOES have the two-way communications like the LX1600 and...
The lift value in a thermal in SoarPilot is calculated from the moment you start to turn, until you stop turning. It is a simple height gained over time taken....
Marc, I think you can load a SUA file into SoaringDotNet first. ie: all of USA. Then select just the parts you need. Goto File / Import / SUA and load the big...
Hi, Paul, oh, yes, I understand that. The thermal lift value is one of the best things in SP and has made me a much faster XC pilot. I'm talking about one of...
Hi Matt, you are right, getting the data from the vario for the LIFT value will be much better than using the GPS altitude. Mark is working on revising the LX...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the soaringpilot group: Which sport do you use the software for ? o Paragliding o Hang-gliding o...
Ok, I sent the changes to Paul for review and release. However, I just want to make sure you understand how it's implemented. Basically, there is now an...
This us great, and I will test it on our LX5000. Can you also please implement a switch to use the MC and BAL value from the vario in SP? Thanks again, Uri ...
SP imports .CUP waypoint files and the format of these files is to have both a long and short waypoint name. Since a recent SP release one can select to import...
Hi, I also realized that the LX160 doesn't originate the ordinary GPS sentences but instead passes on what it receives. In my case I have a Volkslogger behind...
Hi Matt, No I didn't get any document. Just what you sent for the additional vario info. As you have pointed out, since there is only one-way connectivity, IF...
One last update -- this all works great with Condor now. I'm going to spring for the firmware upgrade while the unit is getting fixed at the factory this...
Been trying to get my Palm T to talk to CONDOR but I'm failing. Can someone give me all the settings required for a USB/Cradle connection to the T, then...
Tony, AFAIK, you can't use the USB cable to connect to Condor via NMEA. However, you *can* use the cradle's serial cable to connect using a serial-to-USB...
Hey Frank, perhaps this is why I used to use a BT thingy in the past! I'll find the gear you suggest sir, as I've mislaid the BT device. Many thanks, Regards,...
Tony, Yep - a 'BT thingy' should work OK too, and it might be cheaper/easier than a USB-to-Serial adaptor. I think the one on CablesToGo costs around $37 U.S....
Hi Frank, Have ordered a BT thingy from eBay UK. About $7 delivered !! Do you know whether the settings you gave me before will be the same? I realise I'll...
Tony, Yes, everything should be the same, as Condor outputs at a fixed rate (4800 bps) and with fixed parity, stop bits, etc. Regards, Frank ... -- G. Frank...
Thnx.  I'l contact you, if I need, when it arrives. Regards, Tony Lintott ... From: Frank Paynter <paynter.5@...> Subject: Re: [soaringpilot] Settings ...
Hallo Paul and the gang. Can you please add a box in the wind info screen to turn the Sp calculations off and manualy adjust the wind? I find it useful in wave...
Hi I haven't flown yet using tasks and have a question. If I set the take-off waypoint to be the start of the task when will the task start? I see that SP...
Hi MB, You are right, there used to be an option to turn off the wind calculations. You can adjust it manually already, but it will be reset if you "thermal"...
Hi Frank, Have the BT thingy and everything is set up. Works well. Amazing for ~$7. When I return to using my Palm T for RL flying, probably next season now,...
Tony, Glad you got the BT connection to work, and yes $7 US for a fully-functional USB-to-BT adaptor is pretty amazing! If you had it set at 9600 before with...
Hi Mark, No idea actually but its a Garmin 12XL I've used for years. Perhaps it will tell me in the instruction book. Now, when did I read it last ?????? ;) ...
I have a 12xl as well. It is configurable. If you've never changed it, then it's probably 4800. However, Frank is right that bumping it up to 9600 isn't a...
Cheers Mark. Might have a look over the weekend as the weather looks iffy. Regards, Tony Lintott ________________________________ From: Mark Hawkins...
