This would make the crash at the same spot more likely (making the task resume unusable). On the other hand it could make automated testing of a set of igc files easy(?) so that even alpha users would be faced with this kind of crash really unlikely. And maybe could bring us closer to a function

Thanks everybody for feedback. Tobias, but when XCSoar or your device crashes then you're blind about the arrival time, right? Or maybe you have some backup..I would like to avoid buying expensive instrument just to have backup for the AAT calculations. I've used quite unstable HW/SW configuratio

Hi everyone, Perhaps a way to manually set the start time after the begging of the task would allow XCSoar to continue with the appropriate calculations after a crash has occurred. Better yet, every time XCS detects a start it writes a temp file containing the start time height and speed as shown

Hui, Tibor I've flown a couple of AAT in Klix 2011 and won 3rd place on DD. My friend flow FF and won 2nd place. We flew with XC 6.09. I had no bugs or crashes at all, but in comparison to WinPilot (which was used parallel on flight), XC is calculating a little bit to pessimistic, that indeed

Hi Tibor, I'm flying competitions regularly here in Germany and I love the AAT auto-optimization of XCSoar. With my PDA (Asus A636 with WM5) I rarely ever have crashes. Since I usually fly with an unstable testing version there are some, but most are fixed a few days later. I agree though that

Hi guys, I would like to ask those of you that fly competitions if you are happy flying AAT tasks with XCSoar? During the two competitions I used XCSoar I came too soon too many times. Once I made a user error and a couple of time XCSoar crashed during the flight. I don't think that the crash itse
