How do I get my IGC file (track)?

With old flight instruments, you had to connect the instrument to your computer to get your track.

While you can still do this in the same way (see the quick video showing how to convert your USB connection for file transfer), there are easier solutions with the new generation of instruments.

First of all, make sure that you are registered in Xcontest and that you have connected XCTrack to your Xcontest account (Menu/Preferences/Pilot).

If you have connected the AIR³ to the internet (e.g. for live tracking), your track should be automatically uploaded to your Xcontest account when you land (if you have not changed the default configuration). If the track has not been uploaded automatically, you can still upload it at any time when the Air³ is connected to the Internet. (Menu/Tracklogs/).

Otherwise, if you have installed a communication application such as Gmail, Whatsapp, Telegram, Messenger, Google Drive, etc., you can use it to transfer the track (IGC file), including yourself… Click on the “Share” widget at the top right, which will list the available communication applications installed.
