Because I prefer to not use terrain, we fly so slow that we will see the same spot for long time... so I prefer to see topology. That's why I put this hint: http://www.postfrontal.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3014
And because the zoom range for paragliders are different from gliders mode and also for the empty map color! ;) |

| You should use Nav by Baro altitude with flymaster and whenever a baro altimeter is available.. |

We can remove MC setting from Cruise, Thermal etc, since MC is now abaliable on screen.
In Cruise and Final I am currently using
1.Speed Dolphin
2.Home distance
3.Next ETE
4.Task distance
5.Task arrival altitude
For thermalling, Thermal last 30 sec can be omitted, since this is also on screen now. Suggestion:
1.Thermal Gain (or Average thermal strength)
2.Home distance
3.Next ETE
4.Task distance
5.Task arrival altitude
Number 6-8 is not visible in the navbox of my device, only in fullscreen infopages, so i have no suggestion at the moment.
When infoboxes for vertical and horisontal distance to airspace are avaliable, i will prioritise these :-)
Probably i will use vertical distance in Thermalling mode, and horisontal distance in Cruise/Final |

TiGuy82, I was checking on your para/hang gliding configurations, and nottice that you removed the terrain because you prefer not to use it... I think that you could hide terrain from the display to get the same effect, but without loosing some nice features of lk that work with terrain, such as having a final glide without obstacles and things like that that rely mainly on the terrain info.
So think again about removing the terrain from the xmc file and maybe it`s better to have it lying hiding on the software calculations...

The terrain information is used. It just doesn't display the terrain.
quote:
4. Terrain
Terrain display: Off
Try to simulate a flight and you will see that the "Glide Terrain line: Shade" is working, at least!

Where are you putting the waypoints? You have to put inside of the _Waypoints folder
They have to be .DAT (WinPilot) format, in a future LK8000 will support CompeGPS waypoints. |

Ok, I have tried to insert in Waypoints menu. Is this only one way to insert waypoints to programme?
