Default Really neat program to display IGC files on a PC

Hi Gang
I have always displayed my flights with SeeYou on a PC. There is a very interesting alternative. It is called igcreplay and is a free program that uses Google Earth. The graphics are limited only by the power of your video card and can be spectacular. In HD video as you begin on the roll you see how far off the runway center line you are (a foot for me) and then watch your flight in HD video from the position you would normally be in the cockpit of your aircraft. By the way you can adjust the viewing angle from left to right and up and down. This is almost as good as what you can do with a true HD camcorder However Google Earth's pictures might be months old but not much changes visually except the seasons.
So go download Google Earth if you don't already have it on your PC.Then download:
http://ywtw.de/igcsim.html and install it.
I found this in the LK8000 manual which is 310 pages long.Enjoy.
Dave
