In the night from 6 to 7 April 2019, the GPS system will experience a so-called date rollover. This means that devices which obtain their date information from the GPS module will then return to 21 August 1999. That is, unless the GPS module manufacturer has taken appropriate precautions (which usually pushes the rollover a few years into the future), or the software on the device knows how to handle the situation. Positioning and navigation are not affected in any way, it is really only about the date, which is written into the IGC files in the case of varios, for example.
Flytec/Bräuniger have used many different GPS modules over the years. One of them, the Fastrax IT321, is affected by the date rollover in April. But also most others will “jump back” in the course of the next 6 years. Therefore we have produced new software versions that make these vario classics immune to all such rollovers, at least until 2038.
The software is available on our website now:
6020/6030 respectively Compe(tin)o+: https://www.volirium.com/…/software-maintenance-for-flytec…/
Bräuniger IQ Motor+: https://www.volirium.com/en/volirium/support/brauniger-motor-varios/
It will also be released soon on the official Flytec page.
If you enjoy the fact that we are keeping your vario alive, consider donating us a cup of coffee:
Happy Flying!

We received a lot of positive feedback regarding our latest release for the Volirium P1, Eagle 18.1. Thank you for that!
We also received feedback that made us go back and improve some things and fix some bugs that had crept in. Also a big thank you for that! This has resulted to a new release: Eagle 18.1.23. The main changes are:

Happy flying!
We just released a new software version for the Volirium P1: Eagle 18.1.19. The key features are:
In addition, this release includes several improvements and bug fixes. For more information, see the the P1’s software release notes.
We are now working on automatic airspace data updates, and on fine-tuning the alerts. All with the goal of making flying around airspaces easy and fun for P1 pilots.
Watch Brett Hazlett’s latest eye candy and look closely: you see he flys a Volirium P1!
He tested the P1 vario at the PWC in Brazil:
“I love this thing! Using a mostly language independent icon based interface I can program tasks significantly faster, with fewer errors, and easier checking. In the high intensity moments of a World Cup gaggle, when my attention is already overwhelmed, the P1 gives me reliable information, instantly, in all sunlight conditions.”
Ceck out his review on facebook
The UK paragliding dealer, famous for its gear tests and flying tips on youtube, wrote an article and made a video about the P1 vario:
“Given the ‘ease of use’ brief they have used in developing the P1, we expect it will help pilots focus on their environment, rather than the electronics. After all, this is what Volirium means: ‘The state of mind achieved when fully immersed in the act of flying’.
Overall the P1 currently does what it fundamentally needs to do for general recreational and XC flying
Big scores are for the screen, the Wi-Fi, the ‘no need for PC’ to get it all set up.”

We added some important information on FLARM on Flytec and Bräuniger varios to our site.
Most importantly, now would be a good time to make sure your FLARM software is up to date on your Flytec 6020/6030 or Bräuniger IQ Competino+/Compeo+/Motor+
There is new software available for our Bräuniger IQ Motor varios.
