XCSoar User Manual
It is a good idea to assign one of your PocketPC hardware buttons
to run XCSoar. See your PocketPC manual for details of how to
do this.
Owners of Compaq Aero PocketPCs may find it useful to enable
‘Game Keys’.
Installation of Pocket PC version from a Pocket PC CAB file
You can download the CAB file appropriate for your organiser and
install it onto a nonvolatile storage card like a Compact Flash or
Secure Digital card. Place it in your organiser. Use the File Man-
ager on your organiser to find the CAB and click on it to execute
it. Follow the onscreen instructions, the CAB file will be deleted
after installation.
Alternatively you can download the CAB file from sourceforge
through your Internet Explorer on your organiser and install it that
way.
It is generally a good idea to keep the CAB file on the storage
card so that if the organiser’s power fails and the memory is lost,
XCSoar can be reinstalled.
Installation of PC version
The file XCSoarPC.zip needs to be unzipped using a utility pro-
gram such as WinZip.
Development of a proper windows installer for the PC version is in
progress. For now, any additional data files used by the PC version
must be placed in the My Documents\XCSoarData directory.
