my soaring homepage
So, for years I have been flying with the freeware SoarPilot software.
This incredible piece of software on the Palm Operating System has been developed by Oliver Spatscheck, Mark Hawkins, David Lane, Marc Ramsey, Paul Gleeson and many others.
There is a very active Yahoo Group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/soaringpilot/
This piece of software has gone through an amazing evolution and is now pretty much up to snuff, even for the competition pilot.
Here some of the features:
- Final Glide Computer.
- Moving Map display.
- Waypoints database (from standard waypoint exchange)
- Logger (including IGC file output for upload to the On Line Contest, OLC )
- Special Use Airspace (SUA) including warrnings.
- Glider polar database.
- Flight information (start time, end time, max altitude, etc.)
- Wind information.
- Task definition.
- and more
