Hi, for a wile ago, I heard that if u export u flightrack into an igcfile u could see how many km u have flown in freeflight to!
Well, I just had a good flight witch impressed myself because of it`s hard conditions(narrow and weak termals, no wind) but it was a freeflight :/
I wanna see how many km i`v flown that flight. So what`s the next step after export to igc????? Is it a program? have I misonderstood the whole thing????Or is it a eysey stake?

Try opening your igc file with "See You". There you'll find all you need.

What you need is IGC analyses software, like SeeYou or StrePla.
These are commercial programs that are widely used in real life gliding, but there are Open Source or Freeware equivalents.

Google for "IGC Viewer" and you'll find several of these.

These programs allow you to open your .igc file, project it on the background map of the area, and do all sorts of animation, calculations, statistics, optimization, etc.
Highly recommended to analyse your flights and learn from your mistakes (if any

).

You can also post your flight track on pilot ranking list (http://condor.ephemeride.com/rank/143/) and your free flight distance and graph will be displayed with the best 2 or 3 TPs.

So, no need of SeeYou

Every flight tracks are accepted, even if the flight plan is not on CTDB!
