I have been running WinPilot fed by a a Borgelt B50 and a Volkslogger for years. I tried to switch over to a Avier/ Vertica. I got the Winpilot 12 version for the Avier from the Winpilot site. Got the Password from Jerry P. I have changed the cable and hooked the 5V power wires correctly and have TX and RX wires hooked up to Com 7 of the Avier. I am powering the Avier correctly and the Avier is getting the GPS data but the program says it is not getting the B50 Vario data. I tried flipping the TX and RX wires to no avail.



The Avier "Settings" are System, External GPS, Programs (GPS Program Port: COM1),Hardware (GPS hardware port: COM7 Baud Rate 4800)



In Winpilot the COM POrt is 7



I know the B50 Vario data is there because when I switch cables and hook up the Ipaq, it works perfectly.



Any help would be appreciated.

I flew on Sunday with the Avier hooked up to my Borgelt B50 and Volkslogger via the 302 to Avier Cable (from W&W) running Winpilot. It seemed to be working well. I had a bit of trouble getting Winpilot to take the "Final Glide" requirements but was able to change them after a few attempts. The "Thermal Maximizer" worked OK and the Avier bright display was great.

I now have Avier WinpilotPro 12.5 working well with the Butterfly vario. There were a few issues to sort through, one remaining one being addressed by Butterfly. In the main, though, Winpilot still stands well above the others: cleaner and quicker user interface, much better thermal assistant, much more useful depiction of Flarm traffic. I have Winpilot, SYM, LX8000, and XCSoar all loaded on the Avier, and have tried them all.
