OpenAero is aerobatic sequence design software available from OpenAero.net that runs inside your web browser. This makes it available on practically any computer, tablet and even smartphone. For the best experience the Google Chrome web browser is recommended, and currently Mozilla Firefox also works well. Other web browsers may offer sufficient standards compatibility to function correctly, but not all. It is useful to set the full-screen browser mode (usually by pressing F11 on your keyboard) to have the maximum screen space available when using OpenAero.

The latest version of the software is always presented when you are online, and will be installed automatically. Once you have visted openaero.net your current version of the software will also be available to you when you are offline. For small tablets and smartphones it will help to select Phone layout in Settings so the layout will be adjusted to fit the narrower screen format.

OpenAero should update automatically to the latest version whenever you are online and open OpenAero. However, if you suspect you do not have the latest version you can check this through About in the Help menu. If this shows you have an outdated version and you are using openaero.net on Google Chrome (but not as an app) it may help to clear the appCache. Enter chrome://appcache-internals in your address bar and Remove all entries that contain OpenAero.

Android, iOS and Chrome app

An app is available for most common platforms. Beside normal OpenAero functionality this offers:

• improved handling of .seq sequence files on mobile devices
• guaranteed offline performance
• supporting OpenAero development with your financial contribution

Even though no other software besides OpenAero is necessary to produce complete and valid aerobatic sequences, the ready availability of an official and current copy of the relevant power or glider Aresti catalog is recommended for checking.
