Vario path style, where red colour indicates positive vertical speed and blue colour
negative vario values.

Mc path style, which is based on current MacCready settings. Red colour indicates
segments of the flight where we have vertical speed higher than the current MacCready
setting. Orange colour shows vertical movements similar to the current MacCready
setting and blue for vario values below the MacCready setting. Grey depicts sink areas.
•
Fixed path style. Path colour is fixed and defined by path colour item.
Check the Show current track item if you would like to see your current ground track
vector. Track colour and width defines the colour and width of the current track vector.
Selected target and current position are connected with a magenta line.
target if you would like to see this line. In the target colour and target width you can select
the Colour and Width of this line. You can also choose to show or hide the terrain collision
point and the target line itself. The terrain collision marker is a red square which is only
displayed when there is terrain between the navigational point and the current position and
therefore not enough altitude to reach the target with the current glider settings. Press the
DEFAULT button to reset these settings back to default.

Optimization

The LX9000 calculates the optimised flown distance according to OLC or FAI rules in real-
time during flight (see Chapter 5.1.9). It calculates the available FAI triangle area, which is
also called the FAI triangle assistant. If you enter this area and return to the start point your
flight forms a triangle according to FAI rules. The Optimisation dialogue is used to define
the look and feel.
Check the Show optimization item to enable display of the optimised track.
Optimization colour and width defines the colour and width for these lines.
If Show optimized triangle is checked also lines for the largest optimised triangle are
shown. Please note this might not be a triangle according to FAI rules.
The FAI Area group defines how the FAI area is drawn. Select the Color item to change the
colour of the FAI area. Use the lower-left knob to change transparency of the area. 100%
means completely transparent and only the outline will be drawn. 0% means completely
solid (not recommended).
Check the Show km lines item to see lines which indicate what will be the size of the
completed triangle.
These lines will always be plotted in kilometres scale regardless of the Units value.
