It looks difficult - but in our area we have only one cable that can bother us if we are low - the rest are all very well visible:

Make airspace visible

During the competition, the airspaces can be viewed at airspace.xcontest.org using the country "COMP CH".

Service for XCTrack pilots

Pilots using XCTrack as flight software can activate the airspaces with the XCTrack airspace function. To do this, select the region "COMP CH" in the "Airspaces and Obstacles" menu and click on update. 

Important 1:
To ensure that the correct airspaces are loaded, the region must be updated every day before takeoff.

Important 2:
Do not activate additional regions. Especially "Switzerland" should be deactivated during the competition.

Note: The region "COMP CH" will only be visible in the XCTrack at the competition.
