It would be nice to convert the .fpl but have to live with out so manual is the way .
If the file format is not too complicated, I could develop an extension to CoTaCo (already working for XCSoar & LK8000)

Before I start anything:

How many people would be interested ?
Is the task file format documented ?
Could you post an example file ?
Polar file format ?
Waypoints file format ?
Maps ?

As I have no Apple device at hand, I won't be able to work without help from a serious and committed tester

Recently, iGlide got updated and fixed serious problem.
So, I am trying to use it again with Condor2.
WP file is usual .cup file, so I can copy it.
But difficulty is Polar curves. I cannot find any files related to polar on iPad, then I have to setup new polar manually.
Attached is the screen shot of entry sheet in iGlide.
Could someone teach me what value should I put the column "TakeOff Weight"?

I can find other values from Condor Hanger or polar data from CondorUTill page.

Have you read the manual ?
I don't use IGlide, but it took me less than 5 minutes to find the manual online, download it (https://www.air-avionics.com/?wpdmpro=iglide-manual) and find that:
Importing own data
You can also import own datafiles into iGlide and use them in addition to the preloaded
datasets or instead of the preloaded datasets.
Datentyp Beschreibung
.DAT Waypoints and outlanding sites (Cambridge Format)
.CUP Waypoints and outlanding sites (SeeYou)
.PLR Polar-Files (WinPilot)
.TXT OpenAir Airspace Files

iGlide User Manual Software-Version 2.01! 8
You should be able to use the .plr files for Condor gliders that are available on the CondorUTill webpage : https://condorutill.pagesperso-orange.f ... tml#Polars

To answer your question, I would assume that the TakeOff Weight is the reference mass corresponding to the speed points that define the polar.
