Over the past few days, we quietly shared a prototype of the XC Tracer Maxx III with a handful of trusted pilots. Their reactions ranged from an enthusiastic “Boah!” or “Cool!” to silent amazement when watching the terrain screen with adaptive hillshading. Here’s what we can share right now:
Much Larger, High-Resolution Display
We’ve partnered with a Japanese multinational corporation—renowned for its expertise in fine ceramics, electronics, and more—and invested significant resources to develop a custom Memory-in-Pixel (MIP) screen that’s 64% larger than our Maxx II and features 250 DPI. Expect outstanding clarity in bright sunlight and efficient power usage, all in a lightweight, pilot-friendly form factor.
Adaptive Terrain Visualization & Valley Winds
Our new adaptive hillshading automatically adjusts according to the sun’s orientation, significantly improving terrain awareness and route planning, while helping you identify thermal triggers more effectively. You can also gauge potential valley wind patterns, giving you an extra layer of situational awareness without cluttering your screen or taxing your battery.
Riser-Mounted Remote Control
Switching between and zooming screens is quick and simple thanks to the small remote control attached to your risers. There’s no need to let go of your brakes and / or fumble with buttons on the device itself.
Proven XC Tracer Heritage & Swiss Quality
Building on our hallmark fast vario response, robust battery life, and intuitive user interface, the Maxx III continues our tradition of reliable performance. Each unit is crafted in Switzerland, reflecting the high manufacturing standards that pilots have come to expect from XC Tracer.
Integrated Flight Safety & Connectivity
Fanet, ADS-L, and Flarm will be included, providing real-time flight data and enhanced situational awareness. This integration ensures that you receive critical safety information seamlessly, further elevating your overall flying experience.
No Subscription Fees
All these advanced features—including adaptive hillshading and valley wind visualization—come at a single purchase price, with no monthly or annual subscriptions required.
Stay Tuned for More Information
We do not yet have a confirmed shipping date or price for the XC Tracer Maxx III. While we appreciate your interest, we kindly request that you refrain from sending emails about availability or cost at this time. We will post updates on our website in the coming weeks as more details become available.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to sharing more about the XC Tracer Maxx III soon!
