Hello,
also had a chance to fly with v6.1 today on an iPaq 1950 with WM5.
It crashed twice:
- once when invoking NAV button, in fact XCSoar has just quit
- once while showing airspace warning, ack worked fine before but this time
it froze, I had to "hard" (?) reboot it the PDA.
Now I have 3 flight logs... !
I can not see a software log, is there one, in order to help understand what
happened?
By the way, it was very nice to use.
