Default Altitude oddity - CN2 w/ .stx file format

thanks Noel

When editing or creating your own waypoint files (regardless of format) a good practice is to use a known good waypoint file as a template to start from.

You can learn more about the STX format here

http://soaringweb.org/TP/stx.html

However, DON'T USE THE EXAMPLES on that page to create your own files. They won't work. As a colleague puts it "The good thing about STX is it's nice and flexible. The bad thing about STX is it's nice and flexible." The examples just warned against illustrate this flexibility nicely but will cause problems in your flight computer. Please use instead a waypoint database intended for ClearNav chosen from one of the many world wide soaring sites on the WWTPE.
