Flytec 6030 v3.25 Release Notes

• Four User-fields option with larger font size
• Bigger direction arrows in compass
• Vario Response Delay settings simplified (0-4) where 0=fast and 4= slow. I recommend a setting of 3 to start (with a vario lift threshold of 4 ft/min or 2cm/s)
• Bug fix: Set waypoint of the actual position with long press WP key (confirm with F1 “Add Wayp”. This is possible anytime the GPS is acquired (on the ground, in flight with or without active route).
• Bug fix: Alt1/Mrk key doesn’t save a Waypoint in the waypoint list anymore. Instead it sets a marker in the E record in the IGC file
• Battery threshold for segment 8 reduced.
• Flight date derived from the first valid fix in the IGC file.
• GNSS Altitude set to 0 in case of 2D fixes
• Baro Alti is based on 1013.25hPa
• Bug corrected in input of southern latitude coordinates
• SMS-Bluetooth function activated (module and unlock code required)
• Bug fix: in drawing circles of CTR’s in the map mode.
• Polar table increased to 250 km/h
• Erroneous characters in Info line removed.
• User pressure offset for the correction of the pressure sensor

There are also two text corrections that I requested in this version (1) Daily Thermal Averager was changed to Thermal Averager (there was nothing Daily about it ;-) and (2) Format memory was changed back to Init EEPROM to better reflect what that function does.

Yes, the arrow is much bigger (and conflicts with the NSEW direction arrows as the compass rose didn't get any bigger). I'll have to see about the ghost arrow (for the next waypoint after the one pointed to). I also don't know yet about the little arrows that go next to the big arrow when you are headed on the right track. These are very important and were much missed in the last firmware versions.

Bigger user fields are now available as on the 5030. I stuck with the regular smaller ones as I can see them well enough. I'll use the large fonts on one screen (the start circle screen).

You still can't get rid of the speed slider on the right to get even more space for the all important arrow and speed ring. I sure wish that they would allow this option.

I would love to hear from any readers who activate the SMS/Bluetooth feature. I have a Bluetooth cell phone. I don't see any documentation available for this feature from Flytec.

This is beta firmware, not generally released yet.

I flew with the 6030 with the updated firmware on Monday, the first task of the Bogong Cup. The two arrows are much easier to see. They do conflict somewhat with the other symbols in the compass rose. I don't see the two side arrows that used to appear when you were on the "right" course.
