Reality Pro Cup 2026
(Dec. 30th, 2025 - Feb. 3rd, 2026)
The tasks are designed to simulate very realistic weather scenarios as they typically occur in temperate regions such as Central Europe.
This means you should expect:
• Approaching and retreating weather fronts
• Blue thermals
• Weakening and dying conditions
• Generally authentic soaring weather
Pilots expecting 4 m/s average climbs or Vne final glides are in the wrong place here.
Airspaces will be enabled, but the tasks will be set up the way they are in real competitions — routed around restricted zones.
The aim is to create fair and realistic conditions for everyone.
Pilots will not be forced into traps unless they put themselves there.
With live-scoring disabled, reduced plane visibility, and large start lines, "leaching" (flying behind others) will be significantly reduced.
