XCSoar User Manual
The settings dialog contains several pages. Once changes have
been made, click the Close button on the screen or PWR/ESC on
Altair to close the dialog and return the program back to normal
map mode.
Once you are happy with your configuration settings, save the pro-
file file and make a backup so that you can later restore the settings
if you Pocket PC device’s memory is accidentally erased.
See Chapter 12 for a description of the data formats of files re-
ferred to in the settings. Where no file is to be used, the field can
be left blank. File name fields in forms show files that match a file
extension filter. This makes it much easier to find and select the
correct file.
Safety lock
A safety feature is available to prevent settings being modified in
flight. This optionally prevents the configuration settings dialog
from starting if the aircraft is in flight.
Fail-safe
If the XCSoar software crashes due to an unrecoverable error while
loading a file, the file will be removed from the configuration set-
tings in order to prevent the crash reoccuring. Therefore, if an
error was found in a file, the user must re-enter that file in the
configuration settings after remedying the situation.
