I did not realise that the Butterfly was competible with WinPilot Pro?
One of the short comings of WP is the lack of compability with most newer flight computers.

The Butterfly emulates an LX or CAI302 (for the most part) so Winpilot does work. I would contact Winpilot and ask - he may have a special version that omits the initialization sequences (which the Butterfly ignores and can cause problems with Flarm installed). The regular Avier 12.5 will run if you set the Butterfly to LX output and turn off Flarm sentences.

The just posted Winpilot iOS manual update says it explicitly supports the Butterfly in an upcoming release.

WinPilot PRO for Avier that is now on WinPilot.com is compatible with the Butterfly vario.
To enable Butterfly support, please go into Menu.About.Hardware and enable 'Butterfly Vario'.

Also, we have added support for Butterly vario to our WinPilot for iOS version.

Anybody who has a mini-iPad or iPhone and a Butterly vario with their 'WiFi Dongle' device please contact us for a free version for WinPilot for iOS to test it.

People who have other flight computers can now connect to WinPilot for iOS version 1.63 or newer wirelessly by using this device:

Team Winpilot,
Since this has become a place to discuss my favorite soaring software, two requests for the Avier/Vertica version: Please make it easier to change the zoom level through gestures or taps and secondly, bring back the 4 "hardware buttons" from the IPAQ that engaged often used functions such as Task Manager, Statistics, Map Display etc. Just use some screen space at the bottom for those buttons.
Thanks,
Herb
