This is some fallout from the XCSoar calculation engine (quick hack
written in 10 minutes). Put it in a directory with many IGC files,
and it will print the takeoff and landing time for each (CSV format).
It would be easy to add OLC score, thermal strength, wind analysis,
.... and any other calculation that XCSoar has.

Volunteer welcome to add some usability to this little program.

XCSoar 6.3 has some code to generate a flight book automatically, but
it's disabled because I did not have enough time to finish it. More
volunteers with a little coding experience welcome :-)

Thanks Max. That's a start. I probably can't help with coding but can help with design. For a start, the program should ideally run on a PC instead of flight computer since this is what most people use post flight, and, giving igc files and waypoint files, the program should be able to extract the following standard log book data:
date, glider info, takeoff location, release altitude, max altitude, distance flown (using OLC or FAI optimizations), flight time, turn points, and perhaps weather data such as wind and thermal data.
Next, rather than just dumping the results into excel, it will display it in a program similar to Launchpoint 2000, which provides capabilities to edit the data, add additional information (such as PIC, dual received, solo, comments) and provide various capabilities to sort, summarize, filter the data and provide statistics in a user friendly way.
Any takers?
