LX-9000:
Using a .cub file

You should do these steps as far ahead of time as you can.  Please don't wait until the last minute to get this configuration done! I would recommend doing this several days before the wave shows up. 

In general, I find that using the Google Drive feature with the LX9000 is the best way to get files back and forth.  If you're one of the LX9000 users who uses old-fashioned SD-Cards, you will have a few extra steps.  Make sure to have downloaded the correct 2024-W99-wavewindow.cup file from the AirSpace Files section of this website. You'll also want to make sure that you have the latest Frntroy10.cupx file on that SD-Card, too. You can also find that .cupx file in our AirSpace Files section of this website. 

First, boot up your LX9000 or LX8080, as appropriate.  The screenshots used here are from LXSim and are simulating an LX-9070 in a Duo Discus. 

Go to the Setting page by flipping the upper right dial clockwise until you're on the Settings page.  Select "Files and Transfer" 

Select Waypoints and Tasks.  In this screenshot, I have the mifflin airspace active, and I don't have the Frntroy10.cupx file active.  Insert the SD-Card with the .cub and .cupx files.  You should see the frntroy10.cupx file show up as an available waypoint file. 

Use the bottom right dial to highlight the 'frntroy10.cupx' file, and click the bottom right button, next to the word "Select" 

Click the button next to the word "Load" 

Use the bottom right dial to highlight the 'frntroy10.cupx' file at the top of the page.  press the "Select" button again. 

The above steps have only gotten this waypoint file onto your flight computer.  You still need to activate it.  Deselect all of the other inappropriate checkboxes, and make sure that the checkbox is highlighted over the frntroy10.cupx file.  Select the third button on the top row next to the button labeled "Active" 

The above steps only give you information about the airports around you.  This does not include the wave window information.  Here's where we're going to set up the 2024-W99-wavewindow.cub file to show up on your flight computer.  

Click the left-most button on the bottom row of buttons; right next to the word "Close".  This will take you back to the Files and Transfer page. 

Click on "Airspaces and NOTAMs"

Since we have the SD-Card already inserted in the LX-9000, you should see that 2024-W99-wavewindow.cub file in the "Files on SD" section at the bottom of this page.  Use the bottom right dial to highlight the .cub file.  Hit the top right button next to the word "Load".  This will copy the file fro the SD-Card to your flight computer.  Make sure your cursor is still highlighted over the .cub file, and activate the checkbox by hitting the bottom right button, next to the word "Select". 

Hit the "close" button, or press the "X" button on your LXNav Joystick. You will be back on the "Files and Transfer" page on your LX9000. 

You might think you're finished with this, but unfortunately, there's something else you should probably do.  We need to make sure that your LX9000 is set up to actually show that airspace. If you skip these next steps, you may well have that airspace loaded on your flight computer, but it won't show up on your display.  So let's get that set up now.  

From the "Setup" Page, select "Graphics", then select "Airspaces and NOTAMs"  You should get a screen that looks like this: 

Use the bottom right dial to highlight the word "Class A". Press the "Edit" button. Use the bottom right dial again to cycle through the different airspace types we're showing, until you get to "Glider Sector"
