Hi, I seem to be having trouble with the thermal strength graph on the left side of the thermal map page. I use knots for lift strength in the units settings,...
Matt, Let me know if you figure this one out - I never have ;-) Frank ... -- G. Frank Paynter, PhD Research Scientist The Ohio State University ElectroScience...
I'll check this. But first a couple of questions What range of lift values do you see om the Final Glide screen? Does the vertical line for the MC setting move...
Hi, Paul, the graph range matches whatever I have selected in the FG screen, either 0-5 in 1kt increments, or 0-10 in 2kt increments. The vertical line seems...
I flew last month using a Bluetooth GPS without pressure altitude. When I plot the flight with SeeYou, it shows a 2260 ft difference between pressure altitude...
Hi John, Did you still have a flight computer in the Comp: field in the NMEA/Port screen? This might explain it, as SoarPilot would have been waiting for...
Maybe hte LX/Kilser is always outputing lift in m/s despite you having set the units to knots. Really need the specification of the LX sentence to be sure. Can...
John, What kind of bluetooth gps did you use? I had one that didn't output GPS altitude using the WGS84 ellipsoid. They they output an HAE (height above the...
Hi Paul, I've sent a note off to Filser to see about the sentence doc. Off the top of my head I would think that the sentences would always use the same...
Well, I heard back from Filser -- they don't publish the sentences. One tidbit -- I flew with Condor and checked "none" for the comp setting, and used "gps...
I don't think I had a flight computer in the NMEA/Port screen but I am not positive. The saved setup shows Comp: None, Alt: GPS, and MSL instead of WGS84 with...
I used a Globalsat BT338. I think I messed something up when I did the setup because it has worked well in the past. I have two flights with this phenomena...
Hi Paul/Matt, I just looked and the LXWP0 sentence (which is the only one we decode) does not output an actual lift value. It just outputs an actual pressure ...
John, You are right the 8th and 9th fields are the altitudes. Both are the same, showing that SoarPilot only had a GPS altitude input. HOwever, the "problem"...
Matt Can you test your configuration again using SeeYou or Condor. The thermal graph plots the average lift at altitude intervals, and uses these values to...
Aha, that might be the issue. I'll have to crank up Condor later to see how that works. I had a moment of frustration being that I couldn't find the check...
Well, still no joy. Having LX/Filser and pressure alt checked didn't change anything. I even tried setting the lift units to m/s in SP to see how that went....
Hallo Paul, we have tried to run the latest stable SP version on the ancient palm III and imediatelly got the fatal error - MemoryMgrNew-c, Line 3499, memSet...
skyraider, sure its not an issue with the install? Try a 'clean' install where you first remove the SP app using the Palm OS's 'Delete App' utility, and then...
Hallo Frank, unfortunately we uploaded SP onto a totaly clean device. I know that PALM III runs on OS3.0 and that is pretty old now, so SP can be too...
Matt, As you are thermalling, look at the Avg lift as well as the Thermal Lift. The bars should be recording the Avg lift. Let me know if they are not. Paul...
I know this subject was discussed several times before. Searching trough the group archives I did not find a definite answer to the following question: Is it...
Aha, now that lead to interesting observations. First I tried the "lft" setting in the corner. That number was frequently 0! When I switched it to "avg" for...
skyraider, Sorry you couldn't make it work on the 'old dog', but I'm real glad you found SP's AAT features worthwhile. All the thanks go to Paul and Mark for...
I'm just installing SP on a T that I purchased used... I was hoping that there was a database file somewhere for the Hollister, CA area (and Truckee, Minden,...
I unchecked the box in CU as you suggested and the two altitudes now show the same - a good start. However, the 3D plot still shows me flying through several...
Lisa, Go to the turnpoint exchange. http://soaringweb.org/TP John Schirra, XG ... From: Lisa To: soaringpilot@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 2009 7:36...
Hi What version last worked on your Palm III? Please ensure you fully delete SoarPilot using the normal Palm OS delete. Then hard reset your Palm. Install...
John, How much "underground"? The terrain data is only every 1km, and if you are flying close to the ridges and factor in some GPS altitude erros it can easily...
