Hi Folks, Anyone know whether it is possible to change from Landscape to Portrait (or VV) when running XCSoar? I am thinking of installing on a PNA, but the PNA layout is Landscape & I would prefer it in Portrait mode. If it is possible then where in the config is the setting?

Does anyone know if there is possibly a new link for "Mapgen" with XCSOAR? It appears to be non-functional the last few days. Thanks 9U --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com

Have just come across this brilliant little program for my IPAQ. Just what I have been looking for after my Palm died. Unfortunately cant find any documentation as I try to connect to my GPS CF2 card. Anyone able to point me in the right direction??

I simply don't have the time to devote to this project any more other than items that for my own personal interest. Rather than let it die, I have decided to publish the source code so you can all experiment and potter to your hearts content. I've created a Yahoo group to be the focal point for...

I can't get XCSoar to display Baro altitude. The info box will display, but the baro altitude always shows 0. I'm pretty sure the Cambridge 302 is putting pressure altitude out in the NMEA stream. I haven't had much luck with the XCSoar Nabble forum lately. TIA Jim

I've spent a lot of time looking at the XCSOAR Tactical Glide program. I am attracted to it partly due to its functionality and he fact that its FREE...I am running an IPAQ 3955 PPC2002 and a Holux GR-271 Compact Flash GPS Receiver. I have downloaded XCSOAR 5.14 onto the PDA...I am now LOST...I...

just revisited this software in its current version 5.2 Have to say this software has really matured and I was most impressed with it whilst flying with it yesterday. I particularly liked the custom terrain and waypoint downloading when setting it up. Check out http://xcsoar.org

Hi, Has anubody got any experience with XCSoar? On the face of it it appears to be a good package. Trouble is the site is currently down, anubody got any ideas why? Anybody know what will happen in 2005, according to the site, when it was working, it will be free until 2005.

Walt WX here... Just reviewed XCSkies and noted that the UI works a lot better and is more polished. Performance is much faster. Includes easy comparison between the GFS, NAM 3KM, NAM 12KM, HRRR and RAP. It also adds the German ICON 13km global model and ICON 6.5km Eureope regional model. I was...

I just renewed my subscription which expired 10/12, and have my receipt, but XCSkies still has me locked out of my pages, insisting that I renew again! Is the site down? I've tried to contact them twice but got no response, so had to call the credit card company to cancel the payment.

Yesterday, I learned about XCSkies and tried to create an account. Going through the process, I received a screen saying that an email had been sent with a link and key to start the account. Guess what? No email. I tried again and got a message saying that my username was already in use. ...

Question for any weather guru's out the I have had a wonderful season so far this year. I've had many 4-5 hour flights cross country. I'm trying to figure out the XCSkies weather features. The CAPE has shown 0-300 almost everytime I've gone soaring so far this year. It's never above 0-300...

Up to this point, I've used XCSkies, but I keep hearing more and more about Skysight. I'm trying to determine if I should switch over for the 2020 soaring season. (For U.S. thermal soaring, no ridge/wave.) I've done a trial, but it was only seven days and I didn't really get enough experience with...

I purchased a subscription to XCSkies in November 2013 and have not been able to log in. Despite 5 emails to XCSkies I have not had the courtesy of a response. Has anyone had such a problem or have they closed down? D Bull

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone else is having trouble renewing their xcskies account or is it just mine? Regards Brendon

I am looking for an alternate point of contact for xcskies accounts. I am now waiting for the second week for my subscribing and or response. I did try contacting Chris Galli at Utah.edu, no response. Last year it took two subscription purchases to get my subscription turned on. All attempts at a...

Hello guys/girls.. We have just updated our website for the XCOM VHF Radio, there is now more detailed information including...... A fully interactive module where you can test the radio and all the functions including Dual Watch, memory channels...

Anybody have comments positive or negative regarding the XCOM radio? I'm trying to decide on a replacement for the Filser I pulled and I like the Becker and Dittel, but the features of the XCOM are very interesting, monitor two channels, receive 108 to 118 range frequencies, etc. Do they sound as...
