age of approximately twenty downloads per day since June 2005.
Looking at how many people download the terrain and topology
data packs from the website indicates that it is used in many coun-
tries and in nearly every continent.
XCSoar is used by a wide cross section of pilots, including early
post-solo through to experienced competition pilots. There are
many ‘armchair’ pilots who use XCSoar with gliding simulators,
