David, I use a Palm m505 and after solving some problems it communicates well with the Volkslogger. I downloaded the wiring diagram of my connection box in the...
Jaap, Do you use the new developed functionality for task declaration and flight download? I developed this using a volkslogger on loan from garrecht, and I...
Paul I can confirm that for my set up it works fine (Handspring Platinum). The only suggestion that I would proffer is that it would be nice to be able to ...
Saving the whole of SP to the SD card using the standard Palm copy option has always worked perfectly and SP can be loaded back with all the settings in place,...
Russell, It probably just doesn't have the backup bit/attribute set. Using Filez, just fine the terrain database file (SoarPilot_terrain), select it, then...
The pilot / glider details on the IGC info screen are included in the declaration already. They are not written to the volkslogger database, but for...
Paul, I tested the task declaration and it works fine. I did not download a fligth from the Volkslogger yet. I will let you know what happens. Kind regards, ...
I am using the 2.00 Beta 16May05 version of SP on a Garmin iQue 3600. While on a 300 km task today, the program started to behave strangely when the UTC date...
Yes it has done this on my B50 GPS simulator on the PC for quite a while. I put it down to non-standard NMEA from the B50 application. Russell From: "Paul R....
All, I am thinking of upgrading from a ETrex/Zire 71 combo to an Ique 3600. I really like thie idea of eliminating a 2nd device in the cockpit as well as all...
Has anyone used a SDIO GPS card with the Tungstens such as the Pretec SDIO GPS Card? Just curious as to your pros/cons to the SDIO option as opposed to...
The iQue is fast and the internal GPS is very nice. The whole screen is used for the moving map, but the other screens look like the other Palms. It does...
Dave, I echo all of Paul's comments including the getting the additional Garmin iQue mount. They now have a suction cup mount that works well but doesn't ...
I just flew with with the newest SoaringPilot and it worked wonderfully. Thanks to all who have added their efforts. It's been very wet here. I took the 1-34...
This is just to confirm Mark's comment that the B50 doesn't output NMEA unless it has an NMEA input - I had this problem with my B50 (feeding into my 'T'...
Guys, Thanks for the info! The fact that the B50 does not output an NMEA string unless GPS input is available should be configurable (with/without). The B50...
I fly with both SP running in the iQue 3600 and a SN-10. The winds calculations from both are estimates. It is interesting that they both agree to within 15%...
Dave, When first setting up SP to work with the B50 I checked with Mike Borgelt (the designer) and he told me the way it works, and it is not configurable: no...
Derrick, I've heard that other programs use these altitude bands for wind. Any chance you will impliment this in SP in the future? Thanks!! Dave Norinsky ... ...
You'll need to ask Paul or Mark as to the feasibility of that - I'm not a developer of SP. Rgds, Derrick Steed ... From: soaringpilot@yahoogroups.com...
Thierry, SPTerm doesn't generate SUA files for SP. That can be done using programs called Airspace (US) or Eurospace (Europe) or using the SoaringDotNet...
Derrick, Actually SP does parse and use the B50's True Airspeed in it's wind calculations. Marc Ramsey did a wonderful job of enhancing the wind calcs early...
Mark, Thanks for the clarification, but now I'm puzzled at the logic. Since the Colibri has no TAS input, then its wind calculation has to be inferior to what...
Derrick, Then just use the "B50" Comp setting instead of "B50/Colibri". It still parses the Colibri's pressure altitude info as long as you have "Colibri"...
SeeYou and WinPilot should weep and wonder! Isn't the TAS input also useful for straight flight adjustment of the vector (I know the TAS direction is missing,...
Derrick, You can get the true airspeed and wind direction from flying 3 headings 120 degrees apart I don't think this gets it any easier or better than from...
Derrick, As you said, I think you need both the current heading as well as your required course. See the "Unknown Wind" calcs on the Aviation Forumulary at...
Regarding the iQue. I saw that there's a iQue3600a http://www.garmin.com/products/iQue3600a/ Has anyone mounted and flown with this kit ? Pros and cons ? Fly...
