Oudie 3

Getting Started

2.5

Using vario

Oudie 3 features an excellent vario. It is the best vario you can find on the market. It is extremely
accurate and responsive at the same time.

You can control the audio settings of the vario on the

Menu > Settings > Vario

page. We went into a

lot of trouble fine tuning the vario sound. Make sure to try the default settings in the air before you
change them.

You can control the size and position of the Vario Symbol on the map. Simply drag it on the screen if you
wish to move it to a new position. Go to

Menu > Settings > Symbols > Vario

to change it size and

appearance. You can choose from a few different shapes for the vario, its transparency, size and more.
