- We would like to announce close partnership between XContest and Cross Country magazine. First issue of this cooperation is here:

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.


Grundstruktur:

 

Menü links: beinhaltet Hinweise zu Seiten mit Informationen über Flüge, Piloten und Ranglisten nach Flugkategorien. Dort findest du auch das Regelement und FAQs.

 

Menü rechts: für Benutzer (Piloten), beinhaltet Hinweise zu Seiten, die Piloten benutzen, um sich anzumelden, Flüge einzugeben, ihr Profil zu ändern usw.

 

Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass euch die unmittelbare Zusammenarbeit mit dem neuen XContest System und seinem einfachen Erfassungssystem volle Zufriedenheit bringen wird. Wir hoffen, ihr werdet das einzigartige Angebot an Flugdetails, interaktiven Karten und weitere Einrichtungen geniessen.

 

Hauptziel des XContest Project:

 

Ausgeführt wird der XContest auf einer Internet-Plattform, die vom XContest Team zur Verfügung gestellt wird.

 

Die Grundidee des XContest Systems ist es, den Piloten einen möglichst gut aufgestellten und einfachen Online Cross Country Contest anzubieten. Das Projekt XContest ist bestrebt, wichtige Informationen über Flüge und Piloten weltweit anzubieten. Jeder Besucher soll bei der Suche nach Flügen auf der Webseite die Möglichkeit haben, alle wichtigen Tracklog-Informationen anschauen zu können. Dazu ist kein weiteres Programm erforderlich.
