The goal of AIR³ is to provide a turnkey solution for pilots, turning the power and complexity of XCTrack into an easy to use but powerful solution, without having to enter deeply into the XCTrack application.
AIR³ Manager provides the pilot with easy to understand tools that interact with XCTrack PRO. AIR³ Manager is the best XCTrack Pro companion app.
We strongly recommend to always use the latest version of Air³ Manager. Check in the Software Upgrade instructions page.
Here is a list of features obtained thanks to AIR³ Manager.
- Large widget on the desktop to launch XCTrack
- Automatically launch XCTrack PRO on boot
- Change the profile and/or the theme used by XCTrack PRO
- Reset all the settings of XCTrack PRO to initial ones
- Manually or automatically (on boot) download the latest Openair file available in a shared google drive and place it to the right XCTrack subfolder without any other configuration’s need.
- List Openair files located on an accessible Google drive
- Check for upgrades (AIR³ Manager, XCTrack and/or XC Guide)
