Future Features of SoarPilot

Latest Beta Version

  • New - The Task Waypoint Edit screen has been re-worked to show much more information about the sector type for waypoint. eg: type, sector bearings, radii.
  • New - The setting to declare a task to an SD card (EWMR Loggers) is now stored in the config file.
  • New - Popup dialog to change the MC value without having to use both hardware buttons. This is enabled by manually adding the line “MCBUTTON,1” at the end of your config text file. The dialog will popup if either the ToDo or Memo buttons are pressed, or you tap MC field on the Final Glide screen.
  • New - Ability to read SUA files with altitudes in meters. The altitude must be followed by “M” or “m” to be meters. Flight Levels “FL” are always in feet. When displaying a SUA item, the tops and base will show the same units as the original airspace file. Meters are shown with an “m” after the numbers.
  • New - New option to make the switching from cruise / thermal map mode completely manual (using the Contacts button). This is set on the Settings / Map screen.
  • New - Support for the LX160 lift values
  • New - There is now a checkbox on the Wind Info screen that allows you to turn off all wind calculations. Wind speed and direction must then be entered manually. The latest wind calculation is still shown on the Wind Info screen, but only the manually set values shown in the Average speed and direction will be used.
  • Change - Leaving and returning to the Moving Map screen no longers resets the auto task zoom level.
  • Change - Improved task speed calculations in the cases where the pilot manually changes the active turnpoint.
  • Change - The track trail will now update, even if you have selected not to use the logger.
  • Fix - Blank list on the Flight Info screen is now fixed. Error was in 12 June Beta, not 4.5.2
  • Fix - Parsing SUA files with long comments (>100 characters) caused false errors. This is now fixed.
  • Fix - The HFRFWFIRMWAREVERSION number in the IGC header was wrong in previous versions of 4.5
  • Fix - Correcting various problems with declarations to EWMR SD cards. SoarPilot will no longer try to connect with an EWMR when the SD option is checked on the Settings / Logger screen.
  • Fix - Prevents a crash when putting 2 identical waypoints one after the other in a task. Used for some paragliding competitions. (task distances need to be verified)
