Hi, The LX8000 and LX9000 use an AHRS sensor box with built in g-meters, etc.http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/lxnav.htm#LXNAV-AHRS Paul Remde "Mike" wrote in message ...

The code has been there for many years, but is disabled, the comment says why. (Not my opinion/decision, I would not put artificial limits on technology used by XCSoar) This code will be reinstated when Johnny (and the rest of the OpenVario project) finishes his new vario design, which includes a real AHRS. The OpenVario project started long before Butterfly announced their vario, but since it's a spare time project of a few soaring geeks, it takes a bit longer. *Max Is this also the source of the faux AH found in L8000?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Paul: As in my warning about Butterfly, you and other vendors should ensure that the pilots buying the devices from you that are represented to have A/H functionality, know that these devices are not permitted under current and future SSA competition rules. Notwithstanding the disagreement by a vocal few, this policy is not going to change any time soon. It would be a big service to your customers to ensure that they are informed and an even bigger service if you make a point of ensuring that your suppliers know that there is a clarification of policy in effect and a methodology for compliance. There is adequate time before the majority of the contest season to get this accomplished. If there is a question about whether a product falls into this catagory, the RC will work hard to give you a determination. I guess Richard, Rex?,and Tim and I don't know who else would also be well to heed this suggestion. I don't think you want to be getting the angry call from your customer on contest practice day that you sold him an instrument he can't use. Thanks for you cooperation and service to the contest community. UH RC Chair |
