Charts & analysis ​

Beyond the 3D view, the player offers graphs and analytical tools to study performance.

Altitude & speed charts ​

Overlay graphs on the timeline:

  • Altitude chart — altitude over time, to read climbs, glides and descents.
  • Speed chart — velocity over time, to analyse acceleration, cruise and approach.

Scrubbing the timeline moves a cursor along the chart, linking the graph to the 3D position.

Polar diagram (beta) ​

A polar diagram plots the glider's performance envelope (sink rate versus speed), helping analyse optimal speed-to-fly and glide performance. This is an advanced, beta feature for free-flight analysis.

Units ​

Switch all speeds, altitudes and distances between metric and imperial. The setting applies to charts, athlete statistics, labels and the distance frame.

Scene modes ​

The player adapts its analysis to the type of activity:

  • Free-flight mode — altitude, vario, thermals, wind and terrain clearance.
  • Sailing mode — distance and speed focused, with wind emphasis and no altitude.
  • Contest mode — turnpoints, start/goal gates and progress along the course. See Contest tasks & turnpoints.
