Default Sporty's E6B density altitude disparity

Hi,

ArtP, which version of WingX do you have? I just ran it on the latest
2.0.4.3 and WingX came up with PA=1000' and DA=1931'.

Interestingly with a dew point of 18C, WingX shows the DA going up to
2,213', that about a 300' difference not that much - would be interesting to
see how it affects the performance numbers though.

Keep well,

Hilton

I entered them on my WingX E6B software on my Axim and got PA=995 and
DA=1925
