Using SeeYou Mobile Webinar: September 4th


Please register for TIPS & TRICKS FOR USING SEEYOU MOBILE IN THE COCKPIT, held on September 4th, 2018 7:00 pm CDT at:

https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/reg...562?source=SSA

This is the 5th webinar in a series that focuses on a myriad of soaring topics ranging from soaring safety, off-field landing techniques, soaring weather, badge flying, setting up your glide computer, flying cloud streets and oh, so, so much more!

Each webinar in this series is presented by a different expert and takes place live every 1st Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm central time. If you are unable to attend the live webinar, you can view it and all prior webinars at ssa.org, under the “Member Resources” tab “Webinars.” No WINGS credit for recordings.

For our August webinar we are thrilled to have Paul Remde, owner of Cumulus Soaring, as our presenter. Paul started soaring in 1990 and is a self-described “techie” who loves talking about soaring instruments. Paul holds all the FAI Badge legs for Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond badges — with the exception of the altitude gain legs (which are nearly impossible to obtain in Minnesota). He has flown in many contests, twice acted as Competition Director and Contest Manager, and has claimed 10 Minnesota state soaring records!

THIS AND ALL OF OUR WEBINARS ARE NOW ELIGIBLE FOR THE FAA WINGS PROGRAM! The FAA, along with the aviation industry, has realized recurrent training reduces the accident rate dramatically.

The WINGS program includes both learning activities and flight tasks to be accomplished for credit towards obtaining one of the levels in the WINGS program. After completing a level of the WINGS program, you may substitute this completion for your flight review.

It is easy to sign up for this FREE program. Go to www.faasafety.gov for more information. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU USE THE SAME EMAIL TO REGISTER FOR WINGS AS YOU DO TO REGISTER FOR OUR WEBINARS.

TIPS & TRICKS FOR USING SEEYOU MOBILE IN THE COCKPIT teaches real world “best practices” for setting up your Oudie or mobile device running SeeYou to improve situational awareness, keep you in safe glide distance to landable areas, and how optimize your final glide. Time permitting, Paul will also share how to quickly and easily enter a soaring task.

Seats are limited to 500 and fill up fast, so REGISTER TODAY!

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Any possibility of a similarly themed webinar for TopHat/XCSoar since most newer and or young pilots don't want to throw down hundreds of dollars for an Oudie and TopHat/XCSoar work just as well and are free.

Don't get discouraged by the sense of humor revealed in the friendly replies to your suggestion. And while waiting for the proper webinar, take also a look at this resource:

http://gethighstayhigh.co.uk/xcsoar-tips/

BTW, the main complaint against XCSoar is that it's not intuitive nor transparent in its abundant functions and options (hence the attempt at improvement as shown in the TopHat).

And it is totally untested for hardware it suppose to run. Tried twice to use XCSoar and both times found out that it does not support particular device I had (documents said it should).

Did you raise a bug report?

If not, why not, since your bug report may be the first they've heard of
the problem.

IMHO if you're going to use FOSS software rather than buying a commercial
package or writing your own, the least you should do is to report bugs
and suggest changes.

As a "beta boy" (internal field service) at my last company, bug reports are great. If they don't know you....
What hardware?
What OS and rev?
What was the issue?
Was it certain times (doing certain things, trying something in the software)?

My wife has also been doing software programming and support for decades, the more info you give, the better. Otherwise "let's play 20 questions"!

So, maybe.......PC, Windows 10, current updates, open software and do....... I get this, expected that.
Whatever.
