I've uploaded version 1.1 of GammaFV to:

http://www.carrotworks.com/

GammaFV is a simple Mac OS X IGC file viewer that plots the geographic
trace of a flight onto a terrain, satellite or road map.

Version 1.1 can now colour the trace with vertical speed data.

Vertical speed colouring might be a bit slow on older PowerPC based
machines. I'm using the HTML based mapping engine in a way that it wasn't
really designed to be used.

Don't expect too much from this software. It doesn't do tasks, airspace,
scoring or anything like that.

Regards,

Richard Lancaster

Richard, thanks for doing this. It is nice to finally have an
application for viewing IGC files on a Mac!

Thanks for the software but I have a problem in visualizing the vertical speed...
My trace is always blue even if vertical speed is selected!
Is that a bug?

Thanks,
Luca

Fantastic, thank you! Very nice for a quick look at IGC files on the laptop.

One very small request - I see you pull out the Pilot and glider information, which is nice. Could you also display the total elapsed flight time? This would let me use this for easily checking/updating my logbook. Right now I have some scripts that do this on the raw IGC files.
