I am pleased to announce the launch of Cloudstreet on the

crosscountry.aero site.



Cloudstreet is a flight analysis and planning package available on

crosscountry.aero on a subscription basis. It works as a collection of

modules and tools added to the existing free features on the

crosscountry.aero site (IGC and OLC flight task evaluation, sharing of

flight pictures, blogs, pilot stats, IGC badge tracking, pilot ranking etc).



Cloudstreet introduces a fresh approach to flight analysis and planning,

including a variety of flight map annotation capabilities and tools,

advanced waypoint and task management functions and a pilot logbook

which allows you to conveniently track your flight time.



One of the advantages in relation to traditional flight analysis tools

is that all your files and flight data will follow you wherever you go.

There is also no need to upgrade any software, just open the

crosscountry.aero site on your browser and you will immediately enjoy

the latest available features.



I invite you to take a look at what Cloudstreet has to offer. To get

more information please see http://www.cloudstreet.aero



You can access the documentation directly at http://doc.cloudstreet.aero



To follow developments on Crosscountry.aero and Cloudstreet, don�t

forget to follow our Facebook page:

I hope you enjoy using Cloudstreet and find that it contributes to your

gliding.

I have been using crosscountry.aero for few years now, in addition to OLC and Skylines. While OLC will probably remain the de facto online platform for the foreseeing future, crosscountry.aero is by far the most feature rich platform for submitting your flights, analyzing and sharing (skylines is in close 2nd in my opinion). Think OLC with SeeYou functionality on the cloud.. And now they took it to the next level with Cloudstreet. My favorite feature is the logbook which I have been beta testing this year. Finally we have an electronic logbook which get automatically populated with all the parameters from your flights, including distance (OLC, FAI etc), time, max altitude, release altitude, takeoff and landing locations etc. The only thing left for you to enter is comments. And you can do all sorts of statistics and analysis of your flights. I've been looking for years for a fully automated logbook and this is the first one I found. Others such as OLC have limited logbook functionality which are not sufficient to use as a true logbook.
The subscription fee is well worth the time it saves me from manually updating my logbook.
