The Unofficial XCSoar Manual

From XCSoar
Profile files can be used to store configuration settings used by XCSoar. The format is a simple text file containing <label>=<value> pairs. Certain values are text strings delimited by double quotes, for example:
TODO: Proper formatting of code section!
PilotName="Baron Richtoffen"
All other values are numeric, including ones that represent boolean values (true=1, false=0), for example:
StartDistance=1000
All values that have physical dimensions are expressed in SI units (meters, meters/second, seconds etc).
When a profile file is saved, it contains all configuration settings. Profile files may be edited with a text editor to produce a smaller set of configuration settings that can be given to other pilots to load.
When a profile file is loaded, only the settings defined in the file overwrite the configuration settings in XCSoar; all other settings are unaffected.
