I'm cleaning out the garage and it's time to let my Soaring magazine collection go. It's complete from 1960 with a few issues from 1959. They are all in good condition with some of the early years in binders. I already offered them to the SW Soaring Museum, but they have way too many now. The...

What file formats are supported. I've been able to figure out a few by trial and error but wonder which ones work best. I entered .cup format waypoints which show up on the map but they do not have any labels.

I'm getting that tired, impatient feeling I get when I hear one of our technical folks say "it SHOULD work" or "THAT shouldn't happen" or "works on MY machine/browser" or "never seen that before." I'm trying to get an XCSoar map file for Nephi. XCSoar's site insists I'm using IE even though I'm...

Does anybody have recent experience on taking a parachute along in checked airline baggage? Does TSA hassle you these days or mess up the chute on inspection? Terry

I've noticed with the latest versions of XCSoar that, while circling, a blue line sometimes appears across my track as though providing some kind of guidance or information. I've gone through the latest manual and can't find anything about it. Do any other XCSoar users have an idea of what...

New SeeYou user with version 8.11. The default setup loads a huge waypoint database. It appears all waypoints are lumped into one single file. This makes it very tedious to locate and select a desired waypoint. My preference is to have waypoints organized in site specific sub-folders. Is...
