The old 5.2.2 files are still linked from the main XCSoar site - download
the Altair files from:
http://www.xcsoar.org/download/5.2.x.html
The old version 5 data files are harder to find, but you can download them
from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xcsoar/files/Data/sourceforge.net/projects/xcsoar/files/Data/
Alternatively, Triadis have their own map files (probably same data source)
available at
http://triadis.triadis.biz/downloads/altair/
I have no experience or knowledge about the Altair or other Triadis
hardware beyond the above links, sorry.
Cheers
Simon
