FWIW I thought I should share with XCSoar users my experience with the thermal
assistant.
I admit I didnt think I needed a thermal assistant and never used one with
Winpilot and XCSoar before, especially since I didnt want my map to be replaced
with the thermal assistant whenever I am thermaling. but recently I noticed
that it is also available as an infobox, and since I had place for an extra
infobox in my thermal page I figured I will give it a try. I found out that if
I am completely focused it wouldnt tell me more than the vario, the trace and
the seat of my pants tells me, but sooner or later I am loosing some focus,
especially later in the flight when getting tired, and this is when the thermal
assistant is a huge help. It makes finding the core so much easier. 9 out of 10
times it would take me back to the core with one circle. Just follow the
instructions in the manual how to use it and you will find it works very well.
Just my 2 cents,
Ramy
