Default XCSoar and Wind

Ramy,

I use LK8000 V5 and even though it can receive my SN10B winds, I always configure the winds manually. SN10B winds are more accurate... but far less accurate than the Butterfly IMU based system (AirGlide) according to reports from a few friends.

Circling winds from LK8000 are similar to the SN10B's, but like you... I prefer to set winds manually which is on my checklist before taking off.
