3.8 Initial software setup
The XCSoar software needs to be configured after the physical installation of Altair, in order to prop-

with settings suitable for most users, there are personalisations and particulars of each installation
that must be reflected in the configuration settings.
The configuration/setup process may include:
• Upload map, airspace, and airport/waypoint details files for your region.
• Upload a language file for non-English language use.
• Optional: upload a checklist file suitable for your region and aircraft’s operating procedures.
• Optional: upload a glide polar file for your aircraft. Start XCSoar and:
