Support:

As the World becomes more technological our lives are increasingly  influenced by computers. Whether we want to or not, we are forced to use them in our daily lives. This is true of  the soaring community as well. With the introduction of the GPS Flight Recorder and the PDA Navigation System, many pilots are forced to purchase and become familiar with the PC. While it is our intent to provide support for our products, we are finding it increasingly time consuming to provide support with regard to the basics of computer operation. It is the responsibility of the individual user to understand the operating system as well as the peripheral hardware associated with their computer. If you do not understand how Windows works, use the on screen help menus or purchase one of the many after market books on computer operation. Go to Microsoft's website and spend some time reading the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions). Open the user's manual that came with your computer and read it. Visit the website of your computer manufacturer.

If you are not sure about certain aspects of your computer perhaps some of the websites listed below  may be helpful. Still have questions, give us a call.

If you do not find an SUA file for your soaring site you may write your own. All you need is a sectional map and a text editing program such as MS Notepad or Word. Also on the acro.harvard.edu server is a page with instructions for creating your own SUA files.
