Import Skytraxx and USB vario flights into OutDare
Skytraxx 2.1 keeps IGC files in a USB-accessible flight folder. For other varios, copy IGC using the device or its PC software.
Export your flights
Skytraxx 2.1
- Connect the Skytraxx 2.1 by USB.
- Open the drive named SKYTRAXX.
- Open flights: this folder holds all IGC files.
Other varios
- For Flymaster, Syride or another vario, copy the IGC files using your vario’s software. Check the device’s own help for exact steps.
Exact steps are unconfirmed. Check your vario’s software or the device’s own help.
Import into OutDare
- Open OutDare, then Record > My flights > ↓ Import flights.
- Tap “Choose files” and select your IGC, GPX, FIT or ZIP files, many at once. Or tap “Choose a folder (from your vario)” and select the whole flight folder.
- Review the selection, then import the selected flights.
On the review screen, new flights are ticked. Flights already in your logbook are marked and left out. Importing a track for an existing XContest stats-only entry adds that track.
Before you import
- Skytraxx 3 and 5 also mount as USB drives, but their flight-folder names are unconfirmed. Check the device’s own help.
- Exact export steps for Flymaster, Syride and other varios are unconfirmed. Use your vario’s software.
- In OutDare, select the whole flight folder with “Choose a folder (from your vario)”.
- Folder import: up to 2,000 files, 50 MB per file and 500 MB total.
- OutDare does not read KML. Converting KML or GPX to IGC does not create a valid G-record, so XContest will not score those conversions. Import GPX directly into OutDare instead. XContest FAQ
- Imported tracks get 3D replay and join your logbook, records and passport.
Your imported flights stay private
Imported flights stay private until you choose to share them. A new flight is never more public than your Activity setting.
FAQ
Is the flights folder the same on every Skytraxx?
The flights folder is confirmed for Skytraxx 2.1. Skytraxx 3 and 5 also mount as USB drives, but the folder names are unconfirmed. Check your device’s own help.
Will my imported flights be public?
No. Imported flights stay private until you choose to share them. A new flight is never more public than your Activity setting.
What happens to flights already in my logbook?
The review screen marks existing flights and leaves them out. A file import can add a track to an existing XContest stats-only entry.
Can I import KML?
No. OutDare reads IGC, GPX and FIT, plus ZIP archives of those files. Choose IGC when available, or import GPX directly.
