Very distracting whilst wave or ridge soaring, can be handy whilst
thermalling if you are not quite "switched on", but I generally turn it off. "Marc Teugels" wrote in message ... Just got the winpilot pro version , I had the adv for 1 year I'd appreciate Your opinion on the climb maximiser , does it really work ? distracting ? Thanks Marc Teugels DG400 "MT" |

I was very skeptical when I got mine, but I found that it really works for
thermals--especially blue ones. -Dan "Marc Teugels" wrote in message ... Just got the winpilot pro version , I had the adv for 1 year I'd appreciate Your opinion on the climb maximiser , does it really work ? distracting ? Thanks Marc Teugels DG400 "MT" |

I find it useful for finding thermals that I've lost, especially in windy or
turbulent conditions. It definitely works...Tom "Marc Teugels" wrote in message ... Just got the winpilot pro version , I had the adv for 1 year I'd appreciate Your opinion on the climb maximiser , does it really work ? distracting ? Thanks Marc Teugels DG400 "MT" |

Hi,
I intend to take advantage of the February offer and was thinking of Winpilot Pro but noticed it said I needed a 302 or B50 etc. I like the idea of the coloured thermal/strength trail in the pro version and possibly the climb maximiser. Will these work without a suitable vario input or do they need a B50 etc. Also do you keep getting "nag" screens "vario data not present" if no B50 etc connected? Is there any advantage of going for Winpilot Pro if I don't have one of these. I have an S-nav in my panel and will be feeding my Ipaq from either a Garmin GPS or from a Navman jacket.

As I understand it, WinPilot Pro *does* need special hardware to
feed it both pressure altitude and accurate wind-speed. They are happy to also provide you with the code for the Advanced version when you buy Pro, thus you can fly ships not equipped with the fancy hardware.
