Wouldn't it be great if you could load today's weather from Dr. Jack

relative to convergence at 3:00PM, or winds aloft, or BL Top. I
imagine the situation with SeeYou is similar.


XCSoar can show RASP images instead of Terrain. *You need a RASP
provider which offers the file xcsoar-rasp.dat. *Drop it into
XCSoarData, and configure which one to show in the "Weather"
configuration at any time.


That sounds like what I want. Have you tried it? What was your
impression?
