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.
