I'm looking at IGlide as a replacement for my trusty pocket PC running XC soar. IGlide is not bad, better in some ways, but it has a few quirks. It's possible that the quirks could be user error, so I'm posting these questions here to see if anyone else has seen these issues.

1. Iglide can't remember changes to the default settings. I somehow got the default start cylinder set to 50 miles. I've changed it to 5 miles a dozen times at least, but every time I open the program again it's right back to 50 miles. The same goes for the other default task settings.

2. I used the simulation mode once, and now it starts up in simulation mode every time. I turn the simulation switch off, exit the program, and when I start it again the blasted thing is in simulation mode again. That's pretty annoying if you accidentally exit the program while flying. You start it again, and discover that you're in simulation mode, 100 miles away from where you actually are.

Has anybody else experienced these "features"?

Thanks,

John

There is a setting for the default cylinder size, it is in the config.xml file. If you didn't edit this I'm not sure how you changed it. The xml file allows setting default start, finish, and turnpoint types, radii, etc. I don't remember (and cannot find) a screen UI to change it.

It should not come up in simulator mode unless shut down in simulator mode. Mine remembers all setting as they were left across program shutdowns.

I wonder if you have somehow a set of corrupt configuration files? There are several, they appear as xxxx.xml files in the program's data area. The easiest thing to get you back to nominal would be to remove these files and restart the program (it will build new ones if none exist) or remove and reinstall iGlide from the iPhone. I can describe how to do those things if you email me.
