I have been playing with XCsoar 6.2.6 entering a racing task and cannot get it to display the "ARM START" prompt mentioned in the manual. I have a cylinder start - some waypoints-cylinder finish. What am I missing?

Hi Karl, while some of us read RAS regularly it is indeed to ask these questions directly on the XCSoar forum (http://www.xcsoar.org/forum/) or mailing list (http://www.xcsoar.org/discover/mailinglist.html).

If I remember correctly arming the start for racing tasks isn't needed anymore. Unfortunatley our manual is slightly outdated in some parts... Feel free to help if you have a bit of time

That's right, arming is no longer necessary. *Best way to get familiar
with XCS is by playing back an igc file. *Load all the terrain,
waypoint and task information exactly as you would have for the flight
in question, then use the playback function (config/config/playback).
igc file needs to be somewhere in \XCSoardata (you can put
subdirectories in here, eg flights, navpoints, terrain, etc.).

But I believe you do need to arm start for an AAT task--at least that
was my experience last time I did one (I forgot to arm the start and
never started).
