Default WinPilot PRO Questions

I've been flying WinPilot PRO V12 in Condor for a while now, and I'm trying to make sense of its ETE (ETE To Final Destination) NavBox parameter. I have 'Time Left' and ETE displayed on the map screen, and one would think that the difference between these two numbers would equal the time differential number shown in the chevron area. My experience so far is that sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. Anyone know how the ETE number is computed?

On another issue, I screwed up yet again on a TAT and forgot to hit the 'Next WP' button at the turn in a circle, and didn't notice the omission until I was outside that circle and on the way to the next. Clicking on 'Next WP' at this point causes WP to put the mobile turnpoint at my current location, rather than back where I turned, and of course this completely screws up all the timing and speed information. Anyone have a good idea how to recover from this situation (besides getting a better pilot)?

Anyone had any luck getting Jerry to respond to bug reports and/or feature requests?

TIA,

Frank
