Cambridge 302 and Super netto

That's my point - you can configure winpilot/GlideNav
for a bugs adjusted final glide height calculation
on your PDA but there is no capability for the 302
to accept a bugs adjusted polar from either the PDA
or a 303. This is confirmed by CAI who, when I queried
this, said there was no need for a bugs page on the
302 or the 303 because the 302 couldn't use it.

It seems such a simple capability to add to the 302
- just add another bugs page to the vario, like the
ballast one, and calculate the adjusted polar for the
STF. To me it is extraordinary that something all
other speed directors do (including the L/S-Nav) cannot
be done on a 302.

After several attempts to discuss this with CAI I did
get a reply that the subject would be put to the developers
for consideration. This was before the most recent
reorganisation.
Perhaps some other owners might like to take this up
if they feel the same as I do.

Maybe you don't get bugs or rain in US but we sure
as hell do here in Scotland:-)

Nope. I got confused - it's the ballast setting that's
on the vario,
not the bug setting.

The 302 accepts, but ignores, the bug setting. The 302 data protocol includes a
command to send a new polar, if the authors of the PDA wanted to, they could
send an updated polar each time the bug setting changes. Apparently, some don't
want to...
