Yes, it may be uncomfortable that only CUP files can be selected at this one specific dialog, and we will extend it to allow all the other file formats that XCSoar understands. It's just that nobody got around to do it, because we had other requests that seemed more urgent.

My point is:

- you CAN upload waypoints to the CAI302 with XCSoar


Hi Max,
I must apologise, as I had clean forgotten that XCSoar could upload .cup files, which the 302 will gladly accept. So the ticket should be an enhancement request rather than a bug report, and you are correct.

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!
Regards, Bernie.

PS: For 302 owners: I just remembered that the trick is to reboot the 302 manually after uploading the .cup files from XCSoar to the 302.
See ticket #2380 where I describe what Evan experienced (ie, 302 says no TP's loaded) until the 302 is rebooted.

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:"

http://www.gliderpilot.org/PowerFlarmDisplays

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

By the way I am asking for it here as there is a ticket for it already
but priority was moved to LOW. Having this feature implemented would
allow many of us to get rid of extra displays polluting our cockpits.
To me this is more important than many other features. I guess there
are many others who think this way.

Andrzej, if you looking for using XCSoar for traffic collision instead of a dedicated display such as butterfly, you will need much more than Mode C/S support. The flarm functionality in XCSoar is mostly for buddy flying and situational awarness, but it was not designed for collision alerts as it does not have such a mode, nor audio alerts. For true and reliable collision alert, you need a dedicated display IMHO.
Having said that, if you would like to see improvement in XCSoar flarm support, you may want to add your comments and feedback to the existing tickets, or create new ones, this may attract more attention from the developers.

Agree. Our bug tracker is the way to express wishes: http://bugs.xcsoar.org/newticket

Posting on RAS may or may not be seen by a XCSoar developer. On the bug tracker, you get feedback by email whenever a developer updates the ticket status, and you can subscribe to existing tickets.

(Ramy: I know your FLARM tickets, but it won't fit in XCSoar 6.6. Some of it needs some more refactoring of the internal FLARM traffic storage.)

Yes, I saw the tickets. They were downgraded to low priority and that
was the reason I posted here as I saw Max reacting to over requests.
Ramy created a couple of tickets and I did not see anyone really
responding to those tickets so I gave up.
