You are gonna spend about five thousand bucks to fly that nationals in a glider worth fifty, and you're here complaining about support for free software built 100% with the efforts of unpaid volunteers. Right.

btw, I shared your frustration with XCS, so I pursued different solutions. Some of the commercial solutions work a lot better for nationals caliber racing than XCSoar.

I hear you, too. All I can say is that it was late and I was frustrated.

Full disclosure, this morning the page announced my file was ready to download, and I did. Haven't viewed it yet but...it SHOULD work.

I've actually been pretty impressed with Top Hat so far. It's the little things (e.g., setting up the hardware with a tangle of cables and wiring) that took some time. And getting a map for the contest. OK, not so little.

What's amazing to me is that, seriously, GNII still does most of what I want to do. But there's always something better.

Apologies to the volunteers who invest their time in things like XCSoar and Top Hat. I'm not sure why you do it, but assuming I can work out the kinks, I'm excited about the results.

I'd love to have a ClearNav. I decided to try the budget route first.
