Firstly thanks for the bump in Api access. Tried to run it as little as possible and it worked well. Was able to create and export the .Cup file of a hypothetical flight grid over London and then import it to both Seeyou Navigator and XcGlobe. Both platforms allow importing[…]

Has anyone found a fix for this issue? Agree with @Ismail above, paired with the Supair Wild2, its an incredible adventure flying combination! Well done Supair, well done..._________________-- [R] [ goto post ]

I have upgraded the account from your PM. I have also started reaching out to people such as SeeYou/Naviter, XCTrack, XCSoar, FlySkyHy, and a few others. I will see who is interested. I have been thinking about this a bit more. I am going to keep the core API[…]

It probably going to be a few trials before we get a clean file extraction done. Wonder if some of those standalone XC planning website like SeeYou Navigator task planner or the ones I mentioned[…]

No idea how large these things are! Haha. I'll contact a few local flying places and if I'm unsuccessful it will have to head to the tip....but it makes sense, safety critical kit isn't worth the[…]

Until there is a review and a report I will assume the pilot of the Cessna was incompetent. Having seen people operate motor vehicles in all manner of stupidity I am confident that putting money on pilot error is a good bet.

I'm conscious that there needs to be a fourth edition, but since I stopped flying I've had two sons, so I have much, MUCH less time to do stuff like write books about a sport I no longer participate in. This is not to say I don't WANT to[…]
