Not  sure where to start & not finding a Win32 binary I compiled it using VS2008 which requires quite a few changes as you can imagine. Took me about 2 hours to get it compiled.  There we a couple of things the compiler picked up that I had to changed & it did not like the multiple stdafx.h files so I reduced to one which required removing stuff from the includes section of most files.   I’m sure you guys roll your eyes everytime a newbie wants to change all files in a project.   I looked at the NMEA parser because comms is my area of expertise.  There is a bug regarding Garmin receivers in some modes do not send the GGA sentence. The RMZ sentence is orphaned code (bug never called) resulting in no GPS altitude – I have fixed this one.

 

Very impressive user interface I must say. Ran first time with no installed files - cool

 

Possible changes I thought of

 

·         More accuracy & resolution by using the Garmin / Garmin protocol (probably not that noticable)

·         Add calculated indicated airspeed – this may help show the pilot how accurate the wind calcs are when compared to ASI

 

 

Based in South Africa

Fly a Lambada Motor glider & also Paragliders

Why bother with VS2008. All the required components to compile are available for download.
Just Look under Advanced - Basic Setup in the Manual.
