My intention was not to compete directly with certified flight
recorders. If you think for what most pilots need flight recorder you
will see that most of them will fly just for fun, some of them will
post flights on OLC and even less will fly on competitions. And for
all those pilots device like flyWithCE Flight Recorders is an option
which is almost 5 times cheaper than the fully certified flight
records. Maybe nobody is mentioning one of the important points –
hardware and software must be simple to use. And flyWithCE Flight
Recorder and Logbook this certainly is.
As for the price – I believe that with 119 USD (or 89 EUR) for out of
the box solution is very affordable. You can search for the device and
then search for appropriate software. Then most likely you will use
one program to download the data and another program to change the
data to IGC. flyWithCE Logbook simplifies this and adds several
additional features.
At the end I would like to mention another thing. And this is true not
only for me, but also for anyone else out there writing glider
software. When you buy license you also make sure that this developer
will support you and will also work on next version. With free
software there is much less guarantee.
