PySoar

PySoar automates the analysis of glider competitions. It starts with a Soaring Spot URL and delivers a spreadsheet as output.

An example analysis is provided for this competition day:

Stand alone versions

Stand alone versions for Windows, Mac and Linux are available under releases.

Apart from Excel/Open Office for viewing the spreadsheet, no extra software is needed.

The following limitations are (currently) in place:

no restart after 1st turnpoint
no penalties for missing turnpoints -> outlanding
no multiple start points
