Hi,

Chip hasn't made any major changes in the last year, but is planning a few
minor changes to support US Contest rules changes in time for the Seniors
contest. There are no major changes planned at this time.


Is updating the software so it uses wind in the TAT completion estimate
considered a major or minor change? I find it very unsatisfactory that
on a simple out and return TAT that GNII assumes the average speed on
the return leg will be the same as the average speed on the out leg.
The solution is nonsense if there is a significant head or tail wind.
