You have another choice as well: run XCSoar in simulator mode at home

Martin, I have tried this but there is no way to simulate thermalling or
flying at altitude in the simulator that I can see. Kind of boring just
sitting on the ground. Maybe we need a wiki for the Simulator too.
Yes, just looked: at XCSoar. Version 6.7 has no Sim controls that I can
find but the option to run in Fly or Sim mode remains on the start up
screen. Then it turns out that half the menu function buttons can't be
clicked but require arrow keys and Enter to select them and you can't
tell until you try which is clickable and which must be keyboarded.

Sorry about giving you a bum steer.

All I can say is that I use LK8000 5.0a, primarily because I prefer its
display layout to that used by XCSoar, but of course ymmv. The LK8000 SIM
menu lets you set flying speed, altitude and turn rate so you can fly a
simulated task. All I can say is tat I'm very surprised that XCSoar 6.7
doesn't.
