GPLIGC

GPLIGC is a software package for glider* pilots. IGC flight data files can be analysed and visualised.

The package contains two components:

*and all others who want to view GPS track logs (para-glider pilots, hang-glider pilots and even pilots of radio-controlled (sail)planes.

� GPLIGC, analysation
� openGLIGCexplorer, 3d visualisation (can be used as a viewer for digital elevation data too)

GPLIGC can be used on Linux, Unix, Windows and Mac OS X.

GPLIGC application can be used under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

What is new in this release:

• ogie:
• gcc-4.3 compliance also for utilities
• shadow & curtain / seafloor bug corrected (thanks to David Robertson)
• Lifts from GPLIGC output (wave positions etc) (--liftsfile)
• TEXT_COLOR_[R|G|B] float. color for Text at lifts
• LIFTS_COLOR_[R|G|B] float. color for lifts
• --lifts-info-mode (pos1 / end)
• shift-page-up/down increasing/decreasing textsize for lifts
• --text-size --text-width --marker-size
• GPLIGC:
• F11 zoom to selected range (by F5/F6) F12 resets F5/F6
• air-groundspeed diff plots in F5/F6/F7 statistics (config{'wind_analysis'})
• Total energy compensated vario. Requires Airspeed (e.g. from Zander) or rough guess using groundspeed (config{'te_vario_fallback'})
• config {'draw_task'} and 'draw_wpcyl' to change default behaviour in fvw
• Additional info and altitude calibration can be saved in .gpi file
• Additional flight Info dialog (pilot/date/etc)
• gpsp2igcfile.igc (fork from gpsp2igc.pl) creates igc-files with filenames according to date yyyy-mm-dd-..
• garmin read via gpspoint
• copying of associated multimediafiles from defined dirs at mountpoint
• Oxygen debriefing in FlightStatistics (according to FAR 91.211)
• corrupt igc file reversed-time-bug fixed
• pressure and pO2 in fvw
• pressure altitude (reference 1013.25) (needs known QNH)
• photos & audio/video files locator (from mtime of files)
• Image::ExifTool is being used instead of Image::EXIF
• $config{'baro_grid_large,small'} for gridlines (1000 500 default)
• QNH/Reference Pressure calibration
• Pressure plot
• F10 to mark lifts -> in basefilename.lif
• config{'skip_limit_minutes'} use corrected (now its really minutes)
• config{'skip_del_first_after'}=1 circumvents a bug in my Garmin Geko tracks (the first position fix after a break ('skip', e.g. tunnel or bad reception) is wrong)

What is new in version 1.6:

• kml and gpx export were added for GPLIGC.
• openGLIGCexplorer can be compiled with gcc-4.3 now.
• Many bugfixes and new options were added for offscreen rendering with openGLIGCexplorer.
