[Cumulus] Some suggestions/questions

[Robin King]

Hi Axel

   Just updated to Cumulus 2.6.1, looks and works fine, but I've not had
a chance to fly with it yet. Thanks once again for all your work!

   Three suggestions/questions arising out of last year's flying:
1) I still have difficulty with seeing the 810's display in bright
conditions, particularly the task lines coloured cyan. Would it be
possible to allow the colour of the task line to be choosable in the
same way as the airspace areas? (On General setup/Airspaces).

2) I've taken up paragliding (;-) and find that, while I can input the
polar figures (e.g. v1 24km/h -0.94 m/s, v2 30 km/h -1.10 km/h, v3 36
km/h -1.5 m/s ), these do not show properly as a polar plot, although
the calculated values stated do look reasonable (Best speed 28.5 km/h,
Sinking 1.04 m/s, Best l/d 7.6). Could this be repaired?

3) I want to be able to "Set altimeter" to 0 at take-off height of the
airfield (this is one in the data base with a known altitude asl), so
that Arr is shown relative the that airfield (I almost always aim to
return to base on a cross-country). I also want the Minimum arrival
altitude (on the pre-flight setup/Common to be relative to the airfield,
like a safety margin set on a flight computer. How can I do this? This
must be so simple, but I haven't hacked it yet, sorry ;-)

   All the best

      Robin
