Coaxing The OLC To Display Flights

[P. Corbett]

I have also noted the OLC problem where, on occasion, the date will not
change back to the previous day or before. Here is what I find seems to
work... Click on the "Soaring" tab and select the OLC Classic Daily
Score in the dropdown. This basically reloads the same page. Then click
on the "Worldwide" tab and select North America in that dropdown.
Thereafter, it seems to work normally.

This has been working for me, hope this helps.

Does not work for me, after date change it switches
back to worldwide. Up to last week, it was working
just dandy, but I guess it was upgraded again.

I tried inserting a country=US string before the date
and re-selecting the page, again that was working last
week but fails this week.

thanks for the tip.
That seems to work.
I loaded a "Sleigh Ride" flight just to test the new OLC. Loading was
great, even got an e-mail back, nice feature. Hope they fix the date
problems, meanwhile I'll use your method. Can't wait to post a real
flight!

I found that if you saved a link URL a while back, that does not work
today. Dates will not work at all well.

They have changed the file names for scoring inquiries. So there is
new logic in place when you use the new URL links.

Start fresh from: http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/getScoring.html?scoringId=1&today

or for USA Daily Score from:
http://www3.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/getScoring.html?scoringId=1&country=US&subcountry=

The calendar seems to work pretty well, but you can sometimes change
your selection criteria to ones which produce no flights at all, but
the last date you WERE seeing is shown ... then when you check the
calendar drop down you see 'No flights' under that date. This is a
reported 'bug'.

The regions work now. Report to them any takeoff point which did not
get a region assigned. The database may be incorrect.

I find they responded quite quickly to, and are very happy to hear,
bug reports to the email address in the Help text.

You might get a false user/password error after you log in after one
or more failed attempts. If you see your User ID displayed, you are
in! despite the false 'red' message.

Hope this helps... delete your old Favorites links!!
