 XCSoar can calculate the optimal speed to fly based on

the aircraft’s performance characteristics and the

expected lift strength, using MacCready Theory (6.6)

◦ You need to configure the aircraft type and performance, as

described later

 You can set the expected lift strength (the “MacCready

setting”) manually (6.2)

◦ Config/MacCready+ or Config/MacCready–

 You can allow XCSoar to calculate the recommended

MacCready setting automatically (6.13)

◦ Config/Config/System/Glide Computer/Glide

Computer/Auto MC mode=Both (13.11)

◦ Config/MacCready Auto (6.13)

 XCSoar can cater for the fact that whilst you can afford

to fly faster at high altitude, you need to be more

conservative as you get closer to the ground (6.7)

◦ Config/Config/System/Glide Computer/Safety Factors/ST

risk factor=0.3 (13.10)

 The “Speed MacCready” InfoBox shows the optimal

speed to fly at the current MacCready setting (12.6)

 The “MacCready Setting” InfoBox shows the current

mode (manual or automatic) and current value (12.6)
