I have just installed WinPilot PRO 12.02 for PNA's (yes, PNA's) on the V2. I now have 2 soaring programs installed on the PNA (not the storage card) including extra maps and TP's. I still have ample room to even add another soaring program which I will due shortly. I can operate even more from the mini SD card.



WinPilot PRO is asking for information from my CAI 302. The serial cable is not here yet, so its just going to have to wait. Runs fine in simulator mode.







Important: If you are installing any software on the V2 which requires a password, you first need to disable "spell check" and "suggested words." Settingsinputword completionnow on this page you need to uncheck 2 boxes. Simple and now you can run the program and enter your password.







Now, on my other recent post, this was done just to help those who might like some information. It was my bad that I just posted links on my page which would lead readers to information if they so desired. I do believe that everyone is very thankful as to where we are now versus where we have been. Many have done a lot of hard work on their programs and rightly are proud of their work. Sure, it would be nice if we all could drive a new F 12 or ZR1 to shop at Wal Mart, but its just not so for many of us. Its all about choices we have these days and I do think that's something we all should be grateful for.







Thermal tight, Soar high, Fly safe.

XC Soar run on a Dell Streak which is the best program and device I have used in a glider. I will never pay a dime for any software simply because it is not necessary. The last straw was messing with SEEYOU Mobile for years.. My life got a whole lot less complicated when I threw that way too complicated program in the trash and switched to XC Soar. The people that put the XC Soar program together deserve a standing ovation, Great Job.

All of these other devices certain people bring up such as this V2 does not seem to offer anything that is worth the time or money unless a lot a people begin to vouch for its capability. It would certainly take a lot people besides Tom Kelly because he seems to always be on the leading edge of technology and relish that role.

What you use will always be colored by personal preference. I find the XCSoar user interface to be verbose and a bit clunky, though it is more consistent than SYM. By far the best is iGlide, followed by WP, with the others trailing behind. For example in XCSoar to add a turnpoint to a task takes a minimum of 10 screen taps, often many more. On WP about 5. On iGlide just one. Unfortunately iGlide is not yet feature complete, lacking baro and vario functions (I understand these are promised for the future). That leaves WPPro, which also has the best thermal assistant by a considerable margin.
