Any W&B calculators that work in 640x480 on HP4700 PDA?
Peter,
WingX is not hard-coded to any specific screen size. It runs just fine on 320x240, 240x320, 240x240, 640x480, 480x640, and 480x480. In fact, WingX even has the option to automatically change between portrait and landscape - had that for about a year now if I recall correctly. Route planning, the METAR List and other features are perfect for portrait-mode. Approach charts and weather images work just fine in any resolution. Home page is: http://www.hiltonsoftware.com Weight and Balance page is: http://www.hiltonsoftware.com/FeatureWB.html You raise a good point - perhaps we should add some information and images about screen sizes/resolutions to the web site. Hope this helps, Hilton "Peter" wrote in message ... I am after a simple W&B calculator for a PDA, with a few E6B calculations (density altitude, say) but nothing else. I am looking at various candidates that appear to offer a graphical W&B envelope display: Aeroplanner Airplan Flightcalc Load Balance NavigaCE Niborex PocketFMS SA Flightcalc Teletype GPS WingX I recall trying Flightcalc a while ago and it was clearly hard-coded for 320x240... Obviously I have written to these firms but one rarely gets a meaningful reply. I am just trying to avoid spending a whole day downloading and installing free trial versions Thank you for any feedback... Peter. -- Return address is invalid to help stop junk mail.

Peter,
I wish we could get our hands on good, reliable, up-to-date non-US data. We continually get requests from Canada, Australia, Europe, South Africa etc. We could use 'pilot-constructed' data, but we'd prefer to have accurate up-to-date data.

I did consider WingX but didn't try it because I considered it too expensive for the simple functions I was after. It does a lot more of course, but as with most American flight planning applications one is always a bit concerned about the European data accuracy. |
