Question for US Rules committee on AH capability within LX NAV computers?
So you are confirming that the Horizon code is in the 6.2 version.
You say it is bugged, but the code says the contrary: Quoted from xcsoar code: This feature of having a backup artificial horizon based on inferred orientation from GPS and vario data is useful, and reasonably well tested, but has the issue of potentially invalidating use of XCSoar in FAI contests due to rule ref Annex A to Section 3 (2010 Edition) 4.1.2 And xcsoar already knew it was forbidden to use it. US RC are asking you to remove that piece of code. The 6.2 version is not US RC compliant, all of a sudden. Let me add that it was not smart nor clever to come here declaring that it is easy to cheat by adulterating other's software. The only software proven to be invalid right now is xcsoar in fact, and there is no need to adulterate it, because it comes out naturally invalid. Winpilot, SeeYou, Stretpla, LK, LX8000... why are xcsoar developers concerned only about what others are doing? You cannot prove that these software have illegal code inside, but now everyone know by xcsoar's own admission that Xcsoar has it. Nice move. paolo "Tobias Bieniek" ha scritto nel messaggio news:20728050.2799.1333488993408.JavaMail.geo-discussion-forums@vbex14... That is obviously wrong. The AH in 6.2 is bugged and will never be drawn even if the code exists to draw it... How can you prove that such code isn't included in WinPilot, SeeYou, Strepla, etc.?! |

To Sean's point, will there be x-ray machines and random strip searches on the grid before each day's launch to ensure no one has a PNA hidden in their jockey shorts?

According to your "logic", a photo of a horizon would be a violation of the FAI Sporting Code, because ... it renders a horizon! I know you're the guy who likes trolling around spreading FUD and never answers objective questions when one starts the futile attempt to question your FUD, but let me give you yet another chance to make a fool of yourself: Please explain how XCSoar 6.2 violates the FAI Sporting Code. I mean, really explain. Not just the usual screaming out loud "but there's a horizon renderer, don't you see!!!!!!11", really explain how the code for rendering a horizon (without code that calculates the horizon) depicts an instrument that allows the pilot to fly without visual reference to the ground.

Max Max & Paolo, I would like to ask you kindly, could you please move your personal discussion off to a more private terrain. I guess you know how to reach each other via E-Mail, there is no need to bother the whole r.a.s. community with this rather special dialog. I don't want a flame war like we had a couple of years ago. Thank you for your cooperation. -- Peter Scholz ASW24 JE |

FWIW I loaded 6.3 onto a Samsung Galaxy Player last night (w SS gyros & accelerometers) so I could show the RC the silly little toylike display that is causing so much brouhaha... and it's still broken, doesn't display at all. XCS developers, please just take this annoying, troublesome, untested, non-working TOY out of your otherwise excellent code and just leave it out. It serves no useful purpose. There are plenty of other android horizon type applications out there that people can amuse themselves with should they choose to do so. T8 |

Question for US Rules committee on AH capability within LX NAV computers?
What is the definition of AH toy? AH's that have a chance that they may actually allow cloud flying and AH's that have no chance?
The "toy" is not the problem. The problem (as this thread intends to point out) is the useless, outdated, nonenforceable, unenforced and unnecessary rule and all the hassle it is causing everyone (example: you trying to communicate with the rules committee on how ineffective XC soars AH is). The rule has no fundamental or measurable benefit other than making the traditional guard happy (who really do not understand the capability of the technology in my opinion) and irritating alot of people all over the world. The rule should be for fixed gyro's only (systems which might actually work)...not cell phones with unfixed, un-calibrated solid state gyro's designed for rudimentary 1g gaming. The rule should be strictly, actively enforced or removed entirely. Back to topic. LX NAV's system is clearly usable for cloud flying? Were is my statement on USRC policy outlawing its presence at contests? Hello RC....I know your'e reading this... We are waiting..............

Question for US Rules committee on AH capability within LX NAV computers?
Sean, why are you the only person out there making a huge mountain out of this molehill?
The rule is simple - don't show up with a gyro AH or T&B (or the ability to display USEFUL attitude data) if you want to race. Yes that means no LX with AHRS. You also can't show up with 18M wings at a 15M race - its the RULE! All your whining about smart phones and PDAs is exactly that - whining. Without gyros, none of them display USEFUL attitude data. That includes the latest smartphones. Just because it has a pretty "HUD" app doesn't mean you can use it to cloud fly! And no reasonable CD is going to waste the time worrying about iPhone apps or what version of XCLKSoar8000 you are using! If you cloud fly and get caught you will get booted, regardless of what you have in your cockpit - so stay out of the clouds! If you feel so stongly about changing the rule to allow gyros in the cockpit during a race, try building support from the racing community then approaching the RC with a reasoned argument and proposed solution. And to be honest, I wouldn't mind having a backup AH in my cockpit - but it's just not a big deal for me. But your approach of throwing a temper tantrum on RAS is REALLY counterproductive, IMO! - well, except for starting the hissy fit between Max and Paolo - as a SeeYouMobile user that was entertaining! OK, I'll shut up now. Good luck with your contest at Ionia - I really enjoyed the times I raced there - great location and great people. Cheers, Kirk 66 |

The policy published in Feb fits this perfectly. Don't bring an LX with the external AHRS plugged into it. If you must, disable it and get a waiver. Its up to the individual competitor to get the waiver. Its not initiated by the RC. -Dave |
