Northern US Season Winding Down, XC Skies Development Spinning Up

As the US starts to transition into late fall and winter, XC Skies can begin to focus on the vast amounts of feedback, comments, and unabashed criticism from the thousands of pilots we interacted with over the course of many competitions and organized flying events.

All comments and conversations have been noted and pilots can expect to see some badly needed improvements to the core of XC Skies. Once these improvements / bug fixes have been made and rolled out, we will start to focus on the new ideas, both obvious and ingenious that so many pilots have contributed.

XC Skies is committed to being a community-based project where pilot input dictates how the soaring forecast project evolves.

As new features are introduced over the next several months, we'll try to keep this blog up to date.

For those deep in the North, don't forget that spring will be here soon enough, and if you can't wait, there is more than 50% of the planet to the south of you where the sun angles are high, and temperatures are warm.
