Default Notes on the Vertica 2, Gliderguider PNA

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.

I am very interested seeing this working. Specifically the PRO features of Winpilot when connected to the V2. Does it communicate correctly, mainly that the McReady, bug settings, arrival altitudes etc stay synchronized, and that the climb maximizer works.
