GPLIGC Description

GPLIGC can also be used by hang-glider pilots, para-glider pilots, and even pilots of radio-controlled (sail)planes pilots. IGC flight data files can be analysed and visualised The package contains two components: · GPLIGC, analysation · openGLIGCexplorer, 3d visualisation (can be used as a viewer for digital elevation data Main features: Free software (open source) Altitude- (gps, baro), vario-, speed-, engine noise level plotting (with Gnuplot) Histogram plotting of speed and vario (with Gnuplot) Histogram plotting of altitude (with Gnuplot) (new in 1.5) Indicated airspeed (IAS) plotting (if supported by logger) (with Gnuplot) 3d Track plotting (with Gnuplot) All Gnuplots can be made as postscript, eps, png, fig, or pnm Interactive features of Gnuplot 4.x are used (new in 1.5) Information about pilot, plane, task (if set in logger) Task distance and task speed calculation Determination of the release (from tow) time FAI triangle detection 2d track and baro view. Every recorded data can be displayed. Absolute altitude calibration Thermal statistics Glide-distance statistics FAI "photo"-sectors and 300, 500 or 1000m cylinders. 20km starting line Units supported: m/s, knots, ft/min, km/h, m, ft, km, nm, statue miles Experimental Logger-read-window (uses the small free DOS programs from fai, windows only) Here are some key features of "openGLIGCexplorer": 3d mode or 2d orthographic mode Egocentric movement of the viewpoint Joystick support (on Unix freeglut is needed) Menus to select many options Help and info screen Barometric or gps altitude can be used Digitised maps can be used Digital elevation model can be used 4 different (cylindrical/pseudo-cylindrical, incl. Mercator) projections can be used. Flight-track can be colourscaled (alt, speed, vertical speed) Terrain elevation can be encoded with 6 colormaps 2 of these colourmaps can be used at the same time Elevation colours can be modulated with colour of digitised maps Movable marker to display logged data at each point Movie mode (marker is moved permanently) Follow mode (viewpoint follows marker) Range mode (defined range of flight is displayed) Swivel/rotate (move mouse with button pressed) Altitude above Ground can be displayed OpenAir(tm) airspace description files can be used Stereoscopic view modes for "real 3d" Stereoscopic view mode for quad-buffered hardware added Absolute altitude calibration Offscreen rendering (only on Unix with GLX 1.3) Hardware independent offscreen rendering with mesa (improved in 1.5)
