Hi Turbo, see my answers below:
why did you choose to use XCSoar?
This is my story: I wanted a software with a better support for AAT tasks. Javier Gaude (my teammate in the last championships) started to experiment with LK8000, and told me that the feature of the optimized turn points inside the area was great. So I tried it too. But I didn't like the user interface. In the mean time I found XCSoar, and that it had a similar feature for AAT tasks. Since I have some knowledge in programing I took a look to both codes (LK and XCS) and it seemed to me that LK was more difficult to understand (and debug). I really liked the coding style of XCSoar and I guessed that it would be easier to me to add a new feature if needed. So I tried it. It took me a while to get used to the user interface, but after some configuration it became my main navigation software and I convinced Javier to switch to it too.
