Thanks to those who helped...
...test features and make suggestions on the latest release of
Glideplan. It's great to have so much support from the folks using the software! At the risk of spamming, if you have considered picking up a copy, the introductory pricing ends tonight at midnight. Also, GlidePlan 1.2, scheduled for release in February, is a free upgrade, and will include the ability to import and edit standard turnpoint files from SeeYou and the WW Turnpoint exchange. For more info visit: http://www.glideplan.com , or come visit our booth at the SSA convention in February. For those that may not know the program, some details follow. Thanks, Matt Herron (Jr) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GlidePlan is a new flight planning and sectional markup tool for glider pilots, introduced in the Spring of '06 Glideplan allows the glider pilot to quickly plan and explore potential cross country flights from a desktop/laptop PC or Mac. It includes current high resolution digital Sectionals for the entire U.S., with FREE monthly updates. GlidePlan produces interactive concentric curves of glide elevations around user selected landouts so pilots can easily explore the impact of arrival altitude and glider performance on goals or tasks. It can even display the effects of wind on glideslope rings. It also features interactive evaluation of tasks for FAI distance badges, with helpful diagnostics to make sure your flight qualifies BEFORE you release from tow. GlidePlan makes it simple to create graphic overlays similar to traditional map marking techniques, and updating maps to new sectional releases takes seconds, not hours. It can output printed maps at sectional scale, with automatic map legends, eliminating the need to mark up sectionals by hand. And now custom stitched sectionals can be ordered FREE, allowing exploration across standard sectional boundaries, and over a much larger areas. Are you an active CFIG? We think GlidePlan is a great tool for instructors teaching cross country techniques, and want to encourage it's use in ground school. Through our CFIG program, your students may qualify for a discount, and you will earn an incentive as well. visit http://cfig.glideplan.com for more details and to sign up. It's FREE. |
