Hi Max,
Unless it is a new option that I have missed, since the early v5 XCsoar lost
the ability to display images.

If we could put our own photos it would be great.

Regards

Jax

There are legal problems.  These photos are not freely available.
They are copyrighted, and I don't see any licensing conditions that would
allow us to use them.  Which means it's illegal.

Since streckenflug.at is a commercial site that wants to sell SeeYou
licenses (and therefore refuses to publish XCSoar release announcements in
its news section), I doubt they would allow XCSoar to use them, but it's up
to you to ask for it.

XCSoar has support for displaying photos, but until there is a free photo
database, every pilot must assemble his own set of photos.
