6 Simulation

After choosing the Simulation mode in the Setup Menu and pressing the

key, you have

access to this highly interesting function. With the arrow keys and

you shift the

Simulation checkbox to “Yes” and confirm again with

. Now the simulation starts and the

last known GPS position is applied.
With the

► and ◄ arrow keys you can adjust the speed through the air and ground speed;

the

▲and ▼ arrow keys change the sink or the climb. If the stall alarm sounds, please

increase the airspeed by a few km/h.

The softkey F1 is used to change to various functions:

Likewise, the Goto function can be called up to select a waypoint. The distance to this
waypoint appears. If the direction arrow in the middle of the compass points upwards, the
pilot is moving towards his goal and the distance becomes shorter while at the same time
also the altitude naturally decreases. If you now initiate a climb with the

▲ key, the

6020-GPS simulates circling up in a thermal; the compass rose turns and the distance to
goal continuously changes between somewhat closer and somewhat farther away.
Under simulation mode one can also test the different climb tone acoustic adjustments,
such as frequency, pitch and modulation during a virtual climbing.
Please shift back to dive. After pressing the

key one can change by use of the

▲and▼

keys the Speed over Ground, i.e. simulate the wind influence. By using the

◄ and ► keys

it is also possible to change the flight direction, e.g. in order to fly directly to a WP.
One can also retrace perfectly in simulation a called-up Route. If you select the Route as
FAI-Route, you will hear the characteristic tone upon approaching the waypoint at about
400 meters, which signals that you are inside the cylinder, and you can see the automatic
switchover to the next WP too. (Caution: for automatic switch-over the count down timer
must show positive values).
By pressing the ESC key one can switch to map display and observe the approach to the
WP cylinder. If one has selected the function

Wind Track

with the F1 key, it is real fine

to simulate the influence of head or tail wind during approach to the goal. It is indeed
informative to see the influence of head wind on the display of

Alt a BG.

During simulation mode the GPS-Receiver is switched-off and instead of its bar graph
the word "Simulation" appears.
A simulated flight is well stored into the memory of the 6020-GPS, but its “Digital Signature”
is not valid.
