Which device driver have you selected in XCSoar?

If I select the "Condor Soaring Simulator" driver it shows correct altitude, if I select "Generic" it is ~50m too low.

NZ and Scotland.
Blacklisted! :(
You blacklisted me or scenery :?: :roll:
I made Scotland so I guess I am blacklisted. Sorry if interpreted differently.
Condor CN = E20

If I select "Alt Baro" or "Alt GPS" the value matches perfectly with Condor in Slovenia.

Also in Nephi, Arc Alpin and NZ. So please stop bickering about landscapes.
The bickering is one-sided I'm afraid
The problem is most likely a setting in XCSoar.
Indeed :

Thanks a lot arneh !!! :D :D
It works perfectly !
I have to confess I hadn't seen it in the list, I jumped directly to LXNAV :oops: :oops:
I'll ask OXO to put that in the manual page about XCSoar

We were not bicker. But also, a little bickering don't hurt. At least we bicker arneh so much that he revealed the secret. Thanks.

Lets go bicker with some thermals now.

Actually the correct driver source has been mentioned since I read it the first time in the "External PDA" instructions of the Condor2 Online Manual, step 4, where it reads:

"Driver: Condor Soaring Simulator"

You are right, but it probably needs to be stressed a bit more than that, as some people didn't see it (including myself :oops: )
