I've been flying WinPilot PRO V12 in Condor for a while now, and I'm trying to make sense of its ETE (ETE To Final Destination) NavBox parameter. I have 'Time Left' and ETE displayed on the map screen, and one would think that the difference between these two numbers would equal the time differential number shown in the chevron area. My experience so far is that sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. Anyone know how the ETE number is computed?



On another issue, I screwed up yet again on a TAT and forgot to hit the 'Next WP' button at the turn in a circle, and didn't notice the omission until I was outside that circle and on the way to the next. Clicking on 'Next WP' at this point causes WP to put the mobile turnpoint at my current location, rather than back where I turned, and of course this completely screws up all the timing and speed information. Anyone have a good idea how to recover from this situation (besides getting a better pilot)?



Anyone had any luck getting Jerry to respond to bug reports and/or feature requests?



TIA,

Frank,
Let me add to your squawk-sheet:
After changing to the Vertica/Avier device, the Task Manager in WinPilot Pro doesn't allow me to create/edit the task anymore, this was a very useful feature. Changing the zoom level with the IPAQ hard button is no longer an option and it takes now multiple clicks to do that. Finally, the 4 hard buttons on the IPAQ were really helpful for assigning often used functions. They are still available in the Menu but it takes now more clicks to get there. Jerzy could easily display those buttons at the bottom of the map view, I believe. I have written to Jerry but he only responds to requests for passwords and to business transactions.
