SeeYou and OLC

[Greg Arnold[_3_]]

On April 1, SeeYou put their new version 3.95 on their webpage
(erroneously described on their webpage as a new build of the old 3.94).
Anyone submitting flights to the OLC should download this version, as
it appears to fix the bug where the tow could be counted as part of the
optimized flight distance.

Alternatively, and possibly more accurate, yet as easy to do, is to
submit the flight directly from the OLC web site. There is even a
mobile page for those who would like to submit directly from their
PDA.
This was about time they fix it since the bug was introduced a year
ago with version 3.94. From a sample of OLC flights I checked, at
least 10% are still scored from takeoff instead of release.

I am very curious how or why SeeYou has anything at all to do with the
OLC scoring. I always thought it was just a convenient vehicle for
delivering the IGC file to OLC (with appropriate metadata like the
pilot's credentials, glider configuration, etc), and OLC did its own
analysis from there.

Yeah, this is what it should be. But apparently SeeYou is sending the
whole claim data which including the optimized task, or at least the
start point. Not sure why OLC accepts it instead of doing it's own
optimization.
