ACROWRX - Uploading Flights

📖 - INFO

This page provides detailed information about how to upload flights to ACROWRX.

Understanding How ACROWRX Deals with Your Data

When you open a data file for analysis on ACROWRX, all that information is processed locally on your machine. Nothing is uploaded at this stage. This makes ACROWRX very secure and private.

Files are only uploaded to our database if you choose to:

• Create your personal archive of flights
• Share your flights with the public or friends
• Have your flight critiqued and scored

Cropping Your Flight

⚠️ - WARNING

If you don't crop your flight, or if you crop a section that is too long, ACROWRX will warn you. Aerobatic sequences normally last about 5 minutes. Our current threshold is 7 minutes. You can upload longer flights, such as airshow sequences, but you may run out of space in your database.

Uploading Your Flight

After cropping your file, use the left menu to access the upload pop-up window. This operation will upload your flight to the ACROWRX database, and the settings during this operation will determine who will be able to see your flight.

In this window, you should fill in:

• Flight Name - A descriptive name for your flight upload
• Comments - General comments about your flight
• Visibility - Three options are available:
  • Private - Only you will be able to replay this flight
  • Public - Every user of ACROWRX will be able to view this flight
  • Score - 🚧 UNDER CONSTRUCTION 🚧 - Your flight will be released for scoring and will appear anonymously. Other ACROWRX users will only be able to see your name after they score your flight.
• Sequence Selector - Select your sequence or upload OpenAero files to set up a new sequence. Visit OpenAero - ACROWRX Integration page

📌 - TIP

After clicking the UPLOAD button, watch the toasters at the bottom right of your screen to ensure the upload was successful.
