The new version is a beta test version and is not released yet. I
will put it up on the Flytec USA (www.flytec.com)
website as soon as it is released. If you use FlyChart, version 4.52.6 (http://www.flytec.com/Products/Software/FlyChart_452.htm)
or later is recommended.
The improvements are:
New user field: L/D to required to goal (over several waypoints)
Display of the acoustic gap for McCready
Bug fixed if if more than 100 flights in the memory
No recording of flight if flight time is less than three minutes
New flight recording rules:
If GPS is on and (Avg. 60s of GPS Speed is greater than 10km/h or Delta height
since Start greater than 30 meters) then flight is recorded.
If GPS is off and (Delta height since Start greater 30m) then flight is
recorded.
User-field compatibility ->New user-fields always at the end of the list for the
external interface (FlyChart). In the instrument, the order can be arbitrary
Additional Speed offset 0-10km/h if the 5030 is configured to use the pitot
tube. This is there to correct the influence of the slower air speed under the
wing.
New User-field XT Error (Cross track Error). This user-field shows the
perpendicular distance to the active leg of a route. The precision depends on
the length of the active leg and is poorest in the middle of the leg between two
waypoints. For example if the leg is 50km, the fault can be 400m in the middle
of the leg. This because the angles between the line between the two waypoints
and your new heading to the waypoint becomes very small. The user-field shows
positive values if you are right of the track and negative values if you are
left of the track.
