Hi Helmut, 1. This is the off-track-indicator that is shown when your current direction of flight differs more then 30 degrees from the direction of your next waypoint. It works like this: If there is a good looking cloud 40 degrees off track and xcsoar draws a "12" roughly at that position, it means that flying to this position and afterwards to the waypoint you would have flown a distance that is 12 percent longer than the straight line to the waypoint.
2. This is the Thermal Profile. It is basically a diagram showing average lift over altitude. 3. I think it is, but you would need a special application for that. Unfortuatly I forgot the name... help anyone?! If was something with "N" and "virtual" I think... 4. XCSoar is using everything we get from the devices attached. That includes barometric altitude which can be shown in a infobox called "Alt Baro" if I remember correctly Turbo Am 12.09.2010 15:53, schrieb Helmut Reinert: > My Xcsoar-Configuration ist an IPAQ 3950 with FLARM.
