24. 06. 2008 - XContest in full interactive 3D - special feature!

From now you can enjoy flight view in 3D mode directly in flight detail at XContest! In the flight detail simply click on "G Earth 3D" button and allow installing the Google Earth Plug-in to your browser for the first time. Then you will be able to see all flights in 3D mode.

The Google Earth Plug-in currently supports the following web browsers on Microsoft Windows XP and Vista operating systems:

• IE 6.0+, 7.0+
  
• Firefox 3.0x, 2.x or 2.0x
• Netscape 7.1+
• Mozilla 1.4+
• Flock 1.0+

Support for other operating systems is planned in future releases of Google Earth Plug-in.

Enter your flights in the XContest and you could win a free subscription to Cross Country magazine, or a DVD of your choice.

As part of our partnership Cross Country is offering free prizes to those that participate in the league. Just before each issue of Cross Country is printed, the names of three pilots who’ve entered scores in the last two months will be randomly selected by our computer. Prizes for the winners of the different categories will be announced later in the year, but in the meantime you don’t need to be a champion to be a winner, so get those flights logged.

Basic structure:

Left menu: contains references to pages with informations about flights, pilots and ranking in particular classes. Furthermore you can find here rules and F.A.Q.
Right menu: for "users", contains references to pages which can user (pilot) use for registration, flight claim,pilot profile management, etc.

We believe, that intuitive work with the new system of XContest and simple flight claiming will bring you only pleasure. We hope you enjoy the unique level of flight detail with interactive maps and another special features.

Main goal of XContest project:

The main idea of XContest system is to provide pilots with most well-arranged and simple online cross country contest as it´s possible. Together with this we want to bring all important informations about flights and pilots. Our aim during the flight informations browsing is to give all users chance to view all important data from tracklog, which are available. And without any additional software.
