Default Cloudstreet flight analysis now available on Crosscountry.aero

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for trying out Cloudstreet on Crosscountry.aero.

Airspace viewing in task planning is actually built into the system but
not enabled yet as I am trying to sort out the best way for having
updated airspace files available. Essentially the task of keeping
airspace files constantly updated is something that would take too much
time at the cost of further development at the moment, so I am looking
for a good solution for sourcing these files.

The fallback option would be to have everyone upload their own airspace
files, something that would be possible now, but I do not think this
would be the optimal way forward. This functionality will be available
for special circumstances (i.e. comps) but it does not solve the current
problem.

I hope to have something in place in the next couple of weeks.

Best regards,

Alexander

I have been looking for an online task planning solution for some time. Best sofar was www.prosoar.de - but sadly lacking any waypoint management. Crosscountry.aero seems to be filling the gaps between skylines.aero, prosoar.de and seeyou cloud.

I just applied for a demo account and got a first impression. Waypoint management looks good. Task planning is currently useless since no airspace is available (as far as I can see). Nonetheless, this looks promising and will hopefully evolve into a desktop seeyou/strepla replacement.
