XCSoar User Manual
In addition to these display modes, an auxiliary set of InfoBoxes
may be displayed in any flight mode. This is useful if the pilot has
information he wants to be able to view no matter what mode the
computer is in. This is accessed from the menu
INFO . Auxiliary infobox
which toggles between the normal mode-specific display and the
auxiliary display.
Final glide mode can also be forced even if the active waypoint is
not the final waypoint, by selecting the menu option:
NAV . Force final
This toggles between forced final glide, and normal (automatic)
operation.
Final glide mode can also be forced automatically if at any stage
in the flight the aircraft is above the final glide height. This is a
configuration option called ‘Auto Force Final Glide’, disabled by
default. This option is useful when flying short tasks in which
the aircraft may well be above final glide turning the penultimate
waypoint.
5.2 MacCready setting
The MacCready setting may be adjusted several ways:
• From the menu items
CONFIG . MacCready +
CONFIG . MacCready −
• For touchscreen/mouse devices, select the MacCready In-
foBox, then use the up and down arrow keys.
• When connected to a supported intelligent variometer, ad-
justing the MacCready setting on the variometer will change
the setting in XCSoar.
