I agree that we could add the airspace class G to XCSoar, disabled by default though because this is usually not needed at all... In this particular case however I would strongly suggest writing an email to whoever publishes the UK AIP because class G for a military airspace is simply wrong.

IMHO the defaults should depend on whether the airspace class needs ATC clearance or not... In case of the class E, no ATC clearance is needed and so we shouldn't warn of that class by default. Once again I would suggest contacting the provider of that AIP and tell him to use the right airspace classes in the open air file...
