Winpilot for contest use?

Eric,

It is my opinion that the simulator portion of the programs are the
place to learn the software and those that get free software to try in
the cockpit may not invest the time to learn on the simulator. A trial
with this in mind is almost useless and possibly dangerous. It is a
marketing technique that sometimes works.

In addition you need to purchase the PDA, cable kits, cradles etc to
get the software to work and get a reasonable trial.

As always Eric you will get the last word.

WinPilot but not all the functionality and ease of use.

And now pilots benefit from the competition amongst the suppliers of
these maturing programs, as one competitor offers features not available
in the other products, followed by the others upping the ante once
again. It is a good time to be looking for flight software!

I admit you
need a license to run the program with a GPS, I believe that those that
uses the programs should pay for them.

I'm sure Team CU is in agreement here! The purpose is to allow pilots to
try the program in actual flight conditions, after gaining some
experience with it in simulator mode.
