Site
News - Major update
including a new Google map site guide.
As yet I have not replaced the original Java Version as I still have the
interactive Wind icons to work on, which will hopefully be soon.
Site links and Weather maps updated.
P.S. Play Spot-the-Flyers. Check out Parlick, Winter Hill, Mam-Tor and High Hill

Site Link News - Minor link updates, including a refresh of the current weather maps.

Site Link
News - Link Update, although links missing form the now
defunct NSG sitee.
On a personal note, I have had limited time to update the site due to work
commitments, including a re-location to the US, but I will continue to provide
link updates when I can. I just hope that I will get back to flying in the
UK soon.

An additional flight detail display and print is provided to show height and map plots. The Flight simulation screen has been updated to provide animated gliders, and map overlays.

Improved JavaWeather Links - Weather link icons have been changed to show aditional historical and cloud cover information where available. Automatic update has been improved for off-line use.

Improved JavaWeather Links - The Wendy weather link icons have been changed to access the data direct from Wendy Windblows Web Site. Presently, Rods data is updated every hour (on the hour) and should provide a more reliable source of accurate weather data.
23/05/99
Site Guide Changes - After careful consideration, the Site Guide section has been converted into a Link page, as opposed to hosting the site data. In this way, the maintance of the data is returned to the negotiating clubs, and as a result should be more up-to-date, and accurate.
FlightBook Launch - If your a Renschler and/or Garmin user, check the Wizmo Production pages for the latest release of FlightBook. This shareware program allows you to log flight details, download data from the Sol vario range, download tracks from Garmin GPS recievers, and allows you to "replay" your flights in 3D.
Wizmo Soaring Guide Active Desktop - Add the Java site guide to you active desktop and continually monitor wind and site locations. Just click the icon below. (Note: this is an experimental service, please report any faults)
