HFSS Platform Documentation
Welcome to the HFSS platform documentation! This guide will help you navigate and utilize the features of the HFSS platform effectively.
In the page starting from the left, the green bar indicates final results are ready while the blue indicates a series. In the series, users are supposed to manage the registrations including documentation.
The ID is a sequential ID self-attributed, but races are ordered by the closest event. In the name column, there is also an indication of the race name (which doesn't have to be unique) and the race format.
Status can vary but the most important ones are:
- Under Configuration
- Scheduled
- Under Review
- Provisional Results
- Final Results
- Cancelled
- Series
The pilots column indicates the number of pilots that are enrolled in the race. This is not the total pilots registered for the event or the series.
When the race is locked there are no actions available; otherwise:
- Rules of the race
- Registration: you can register for a race, get a QR code to share with your friends, and copy the link
- Live: if XContest keys are available, users can follow the race live
- Task: creates an XContest and XCTrack compatible QR code that can be scanned by the app
Mobile apps
The system is compatible with a number of files collected by various instruments. Tested on XCTrack, FlySkyHy, Garmin watches and any Garmin GPS devices.
The system is capable of reading IGC and GPX files in various formats.
For navigation and task management, these two tools are the most used. Live tracking is available with automatic upload to XContest server:
- XCTrack: Full-featured flight computer and navigation app
- FlySkyHy: Comprehensive flight instrument for iOS
The platform connects to XContest server via API to fetch tracks and live positions of users.
