I purchase and play around with different flight computers
(varios+) in order to write articles about them in the Oz Report. Perhaps you
will find some interesting tidbits from my experiences with them.

I have an Oudie 4. I haven't flown with it much. When I test out a new flight
computer I put it on the right side and have my Flytec 6030 in its familiar
location on the left corner of the control frame. I've flown with the XCTracer,
https://www.instagram.com/xctracer/, on the right down tube with the audio
on. Likewise with the Volirium P1,
https://www.volirium.com/en/volirium/, with the audio on and off. Also with
the Oudie 4, https://www.naviter.com/oudie/, with the sound on.

My brain got used to hearing two different varios and making decisions based on
two different streams of data.

I really haven't looked that much at the screens on the P1 and the Oudie. I
liked the wind direction text on the P1, as I can't read it on the 6030. Also
the wind speed, although there is no pitot tube. I couldn't make heads or tails
of the Oudie screen, the default version, or another profile from a competition
pilot who had his own way of setting up the two pages. Your profile determines
the screen layout among many other parameters, including your glider's polar..

When Steve Kroop at Flytec USA,
http://flytec.com/oudie4.html, came up with his Novice profile for the Oudie
I saw an opportunity to develop a screen layout and profile that I could use to
replicate (or at least come as close as possible) to two of the three pages on
my Flytec 6030.

I used the Oudie Simulator,
https://www.naviter.com/download-manual-support/#Oudie, on my computer to
create the profiles and screen layouts. You can read about setting up the
Simulator here: http://ozreport.com/22.108#0

I would use this screen to fly the course and thermal. The map is always there
in the background. The time of day in the upper left hand corner also serves to
flip to the other page when touched. The Target (next waypoint) and distance to
next waypoint are right below it.

The ground speed, total air speed and Speed to Fly speed are displayed along the
top row. A vario with instantaneous and average climb rates is on the right
side. Altitude above ground level and the component of the wind in your flight
direction are in the lower right hand side.

The wind indicator is in the lower left corner. The bottom buttons allow you to
change the zoom of the map (10 km) and access all the configuration variables
(Menu).

This screen is the final glide calculator. It displays your current L/D,
Required L/D to get to the next waypoint (Target) and L/D required to get to
goal in blue along the bottom.

You altitude above the ground, altitude that you arrive at the next turnpoint
with, and required altitude to get to that turnpoint in red above the L/D line.

Above that the component of the wind in your direction, your arrival altitude at
goal and your required altitude to make goal.

You can download this profile (and then edit it on your Oudie or on your
computer) here:
