Version 9 brings the new era of wind and vario detection. Prof. Heinrich Meyr and Peng Huang have developed the HAWK which is licensed to LXNAV. Hawk is a 3 dimensional real time wind calculation, vario that eliminates horizontal wind gusts. It features also AHRS and does not require compass for its operation. A 30-day trial version is available on our webpages.
