Hilton,

wow, you guys sure are quick! Ok, here are some thoughts:

- Price: Much more attractive now. As you have hinted at (and I
understand you can't say it outright, but I can), some other offerings
look much more cobbled together by hobbyists. Hmm, we should all
complain some more and see what you do to the price then ;-)

- User waypoints: A big thing for me. Let's say I want to cut a close
corner around some airspace next to my home drome. I need to plan with
a waypoint I'll put right there.


Since we are in the design phase of user waypoints for WingX, I'd like to
solicit information on how you would like to create a waypoint. We're
looking at lat-long, bearing and distance from a fix, etc. How would you
like to define your 'close corner'?


And two more questions:

- Is there a way to factor wind into the flight planning feature?


No, but there will be within a few days. If you want, I can notify you via
email once the feature has been added, QAed, and shipped.


- How do I get the Socata TB-10 Tobago POH data to you? I could e-mail
you our POH as a PDF, but it would be in German.


Please email the POH (or the URL). No-one here speaks German, but we'll see
what we can do using the POH and other sources.

BTW: I mis-spoke earlier and the current database *does* currently contain
NDBs.

Thank you for your very constructive posts.
