Re #1603 'sticky zoom' or 'independent map scale'; thank you! That is something that I and my friends have long waited for and I very much appreciate you adding this overnight, fantastic work. XSoar just got better, and I already loved it!

I just uploaded XCSoar 6.6_preview1 with that feature to Google Play:https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...xcsoar.testing

(Should be visible in an hour or so)

Max, if you guys could implement PowerFlarm Mod S/Mod C traffic that
would be awesome.

Please look at this page under "Non directional Warning Screen:"

Please look into this. I saw some exchanges on XCSoar forum on this
subject but the thread died. Thank you in advance.

I am about to make my first foray into the world of soaring software.



I will, most likely, be using a Naviter Oudie Lite hooked up to a Cambridge 302. My focus will be cross country flight (versus contest flying) for the foreseeable future.



I have read reviews and comments about both XCSoar and LK8000. They both appear to be fine products with excellent functionality.



I would be interested in your comments on ease of use (both on the ground and in the air), learning curve / ease of set up, and if one is better suited for cross country flying.



Thanks in advance for your help!

I apologize for posting to this thread at this late date. I have been off-line for over 2 weeks dealing with a death in the family.

The developers of both products have every right to be proud of their accomplishments.

I want to thank everyone who posted. I learned a lot from the information posted and by following the conversations.
