I'm still using XCSoar 5.2.4, because it has everything I NEED, and runs with Stone-Axe reliability on my iPAQ 3950, which is STILL the best display in sunlight I've seen yet.

I'm stil using SoarPilot, usually with a Palm Tungsten "T" or sometimes with a Windows 5 device with a Palm emulator. It does everything I need. There is an active YahooGroup of users, that is becoming quieter all the time because no one seems to be able to come up with more improvement requests. Frank Paynter used this at one time, and I'm not sure what he uses now or what prompted a change. a list of what SoarPilot doesen't do would make for interesting reading.

The hardware is getting old, but is still very readable in sunlight. Nevertheless, I have installed XCSOAR and LK8000 on a PDA to play with in the car this winter. Here's the problem with that: It's going to take me a long time to become as throughly familiar with those, and even longer to trust them. I fear errors of use more than software errors.

Fortunately we seem to have passed the point where we think that free means inferior, but we still think that pretty means better.

So, until somthing substantial happens with screens, I'm sticking with what I've got.
