SeeYou Mobile newest upgrade

[Bruno[_2_]]

A month ago I asked a hopefully pretty simple question on the SeeYou
mobile message boards about if the latest upgrade fixed a pretty
annoying start cylinder bug and I guess I didn't ask nice enough
because it has not received any responses from Naviter. I am only
asking because I would like to purchase an upgrade if it has been
fixed. I am trying to give them money...Anyone know the answer?

Here is a link to my question:

Thanks so much and fly safe.

That's hardly a bug, Bruno - it's a recent US only start procedure. I
just manually start when I exit the cylinder. But I agree it would be
nice if SYM would auto start out the top. For that matter, does any
other glide computer do US starts correctly? I know my SN10 doesn't
(Dave, you reading this?).

Good call on the poor wording. You are right. They told me at the
convention they would work it in on the next release a year ago so I
am hoping this "change" to the US system did find its way into the
software. Again, you can be 10+ minutes off if you thermal 8,000 ft
above the start before exiting the cylinder so it would be nice if
this new feature was added.

Take care.

By next Spring, V6 ought to be fairly well polished. And it does all
the start gate stuff right. The XCSoar development team is
*responsive*.

I asked about this in 2008.

I did buy the upgrade but have not used it yet. The entry of a task on
my 3955 is better. Since we typically fly TATs in the US, SYM now shows
you the turnpoint area on a map as you are entering the radius.

After entering the TPs, going into Tools -> Options now has several new
fields. There is a Before start grouping that includes Gate time, Below
altitude [ft] and Below time [minutes].

Also there is another group labeled Start procedure. The fields
include; Start altitude[ft] and Start groundspeed [kts].

I have not replayed contest days yet and I have not seen documentation
describing the fields. In fairness, I have not looked very hard either.

The Glide Slope Indicator on a map has new stuff too that I have not
sorted out yet. IE: There is a B in front of the MacCready value
before on task and also a red number of seconds will display if you have
been above the start cylinder before the gate opens.

Hate to sound fuzzy on some of this, but I have not had time to use it
yet. It does appear that flying out the top of the start cylinder has
been addressed.
