 XCSoar can zoom in when circling, making it easier to see the

“snail trail” and its indications of lift strength (4.3)

◦ Config/Config/System/Map Display/Orientation/Circling zoom=On

(13.5)

 XCSoar records your climb rate whilst thermalling and can

display this in a “thermal assistant” at the bottom left of the

screen, which you can use to centre the thermal (7.9)

◦ Config/Config/System/Gauges/FLARM, Other/Thermal assistant=On

(13.14)

 I’ve generally not found the thermal assistant very helpful;

when thermalling, I’m focused on flying the aircraft and don’t

have time to look at XCSoar

 I’ve not found the thermal assistant any better than the

techniques we’ve all been taught for centring thermals

 The only time I’ve found it useful is if I’ve lost contact with the

thermal, and the indicator points me to where I can reconnect

 The “Circle Diameter” InfoBox shows your circle size

in metres

and circle time in seconds, which you may find helpful

(undocumented)

 Warning: don’t let XCSoar be a distraction when you should be

looking outside the aircraft!
