Upload your first flight

WeGlide is all about sharing. You can upload your old flights, so you have everything in one place. Just drag and drop your files here.

After uploading a flight, you can enter information like your copilot, the aircraft type, and your competition id. If you struggle with anything, head over to the docs.

Stories

Adding pictures to your flight is equally simple, just drag them onto the story field on the flight page. The image is automatically linked to a particular position in the flight, you can find more information here.

Lists and maps

The heart of WeGlide is the combination of the list with the map and the many ways in which you can filter for flights. If you are on the list, you can use the toggle in the lower right corner to see the exact same flights on the map. The map and the list are linked, you can hover over a flight and it will be highlighted on the map.

If you filter for your name, you will see all of your flights on the map.

Search

The search is one of the most powerful tools on WeGlide. It can be queried by every keyword: be it a pilot, a country, a region, a continent, an aircraft, a scoring class, female pilots, or outlandings. Filters can be combined as desired and no flight should be hidden from you. You can find detailed instructions regarding the search in our docs.

You can also combine the filters with different date filters for a season, a month, or a particular day.

Custom filters

You can configure the start page to see the daily ranking for your club or your home region without any clicks. This is now conveniently possible via the configurable start page. Click here to set or update your custom filters.

After setting custom filters, you will still see the worldwide daily best on the left-hand side, and the daily best for your club, airport, or region on the right-hand side.

Navigating flights

If you have clicked on a flight from a particular list, you can use the arrow buttons to navigate to the next flight in a list. So if you order all flights by the number of likes and click on the first flight, the arrow buttons will guide you through the most popular flights.

Task and online declaration

WeGlide has a dedicated task planner. You can create tasks with WeGlide or you can upload existing tasks from cup files. If you have a SkySight account, you can link it in the settings and use SkySight layers while planning a task. We are all about sharing tasks, so you can also browse tasks from other users and give them a star.

If you think that a particular task from you or from someone else might be a good fit for the day, you can declare it with a single click. More information regarding online task declaration can be found here.

PWA

WeGlide can be installed as a progressive web app (PWA) on iOS and Android, you can find instructions here.

LXNAV, SeeYou, and XCSoar

Direct upload of flights to WeGlide is possible from LXNav, SeeYou, LXNavigation, and XCSoar. On XCSoar, just head to Settings -> WeGlide to enter your data. On LXNav devices, it is also possible to download your task onto the device.

WeGlide Live

WeGlide Live is the first live scoring platform for glider flights. Data from the Open Glider Network is visualized and supplemented by WeGlide with information such as take-off airfield and ground altitude.

For all flights, the live scoring distance is continuously calculated. Together with the flight track and the barogram, this provides the same detailed information as for uploaded flights. Thanks to the real-time evaluation and the usual extensive search, the discovery of ongoing exceptional flights becomes possible.

In case you have already uploaded an igc-file containing the Flarm-ID of your aircraft, you can link your aircraft permanently to your WeGlide account - otherwise for a period of up to three days.

Social Features

To never miss a flight of a friend, there is now the possibility to follow pilots when you visit their profile. New flights will appear in your own feed and you will get a small notification.

In addition, flights can be commented on and liked by others. Notifications in WeGlide itself about new comments are also available. In case you do not know whom to follow, check out these pilots:

• 🚀 Amazing flight stories: Tilo Holighaus
• 🇦🇺 Australian record flights: Adam Woolley
• ⛰ Breathtaking sceneries: Bert Schmelzer

Segments

WeGlide Segments are a new way to compare your performance to other pilots in your area. Segments are popular routes from a start to a finish gate. All pilots automatically get scored on all segments they pass during their flights.

Satellite movies

Once activated, the satellite images animate when moving the aircraft behind the flight track. Images are available for Europe, America, and also southern Africa thanks to TopMeteo. Check out this flight of Alexander Müller to see them in action. Of course, satellite images are also available for live tracking.

Competitions

WeGlide hosts multiple competitions, the most prominent being the WeGlide Free competition, which takes into account the largest five flights.

The only rule is that you have to finish at least as high as you have started. Leagues are available for the following countries:

• 🇩🇪 Germany
