New Release 4.2 | Upload flight to XContest
Upload flights directly to XContest – with one click
With Release 4.2 you can upload your flights directly from the Flight Logbook of Vario One to XContest. No cable, no computer, no detour.
What is XContest?
XContest is one of the most well-known online platforms worldwide for paraglider and hang glider pilots. Thousands of pilots upload their flights there daily to:
- Document and analyze routes
- Compete with other pilots – regionally and worldwide
- Participate in competitions – from local cups to world rankings
- Discover flying sites based on other pilots’ flights
Upload with one click
The upload is incredibly simple:
- Open your Flight Logbook in Vario One
- Select the desired flight
- Tap “Upload to XContest”
Done. Your flight is online – including all track data, altitude profile and distance scoring.
Works with Watch and iPhone
It doesn’t matter which device you recorded the flight with:
- Apple Watch – flights recorded independently on the Watch
- iPhone – flights recorded with the iPhone
Both are stored in the same Flight Logbook and can equally be uploaded to XContest.
Signed IGC files
Vario One has its own IGC manufacturer code: XVI. This means:
- All flights are saved in IGC format
- Every flight contains a digital signature that lets anyone check the file was not changed after the flight
- Flights are automatically validated on competition portals
- Whether a competition or portal accepts the flights is up to the respective organizer
Your flight goes directly from your wrist to the cloud – digitally signed.
No cable, no detour
Previously, uploading flights was often cumbersome: connect the flight device to the computer, copy files, manually upload on the website. With Vario One 4.2, all of that is gone. Your flight goes directly from your wrist or pocket to XContest.
