just revisited this software in its current version 5.2


Have to say this software has really matured and I was most impressed
with it whilst flying with it yesterday.


I particularly liked the custom terrain and waypoint downloading when
setting it up.


Check outhttp://xcsoar.org

I've been using it for 2 years now and like it a lot.

However, with my latest install (5.2.2?) in a newer pocket PC, I
cannot get the wind alorithm to work (ie, perform the calculation and
show me the vector based on circling drift, it always read "0").

Ideas on that??

options a
Manual
Circling
ZigZag
Both
