I see a tab on the OLC Plus, beside "Standard", for "Advanced" information. There is no indication of what that is, or why it would be worth subscribing (The Canadian Soaring Association already pays $1000CAD/yr to OLC). Does anyone have a screen shot of what that looks like, or a link that...

Done this for a few years now, but... Has anyone else noticed this inconsistency in the OLC website? Not ten, twelve! And not a request. Or zero? Jim Please enter the value you want to donate (a min. of 10 EUR is respectfully requested). Get your smiley for more than 1 year (up to 5) with an...

As of 2150 CDT, 2006.06.03 of 38 OLC entries posted for the day, 20 were rejected, 18 were accepted. What's the point? Explanations and guidance from OLC continue to be incomplete and unclear, as they were last year. OLC could have used the time to improve the system, but instead they used it to...

Hannes at OLC advises that the correct url is now: http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/getScoring.html?scoringId=1&today ssa.org has the old link, perhaps one of you knows who to contact to get that fixed. It will prevent a lot of bug reports. I guess each year we need to double check our...

This OLC validation problem affects us all by turning away a large proportion of participants and thus devaluing the meaning of the contest. I have sent the following e-mail to and copied it to to see if we can get some corrective action. I would encourage...

I see that the guys in Ephrata are running up the miles at a very consistent rate. On this day in 1984 I completed my first 500K flight and finished my Diamond Badge # 614 in Ephrata http://www.gliderforum.com/photos/get-photo.asp?photoid=1163 Looking forward to flying there again this summer...

Yesterday I flew with Uli Neumann in his Caproni A-21 S, and what fun we had! Uli, who flies out of South Carolina, said happily, "This is almost like cheating!" We made a simple 300k triangle with very few turns and then retired to my home for a beer and cheese burger (thanks,...

Is there a way to set the units on the OLC (Online Contest) website screens so that they display in something other than the metric default? For example, to show miles instead of kilometers? (Yes, I know we in the US are luddites ...) Thanks, - Frank

I just tried to log in to OLC using Chrome and got a message: "Your Connection is not Private. Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.onlinecontest.org (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID Automatically report details of possible...

Just noticed this feature. Very nice. No idea what the new "Advanced" view is, just pesters me to send money. May or may not be a year since sending the last installment. Jim

Hello Everyone: This past weekend when I submitted my flight data to OLC, my barogram trace has a lot of yellow peaks and the flight inititally refused to give me over 20 km. Is this yellow denoting engine noise? Kind of strange considering I was flying a 304C. No noise that I could hear - in...

Doug, How do I reregister for the new OLC? And how do I update my e-mail address for the new OLC? After I do that, I'll try to upload my first flight file to the new OLC, even though it was a extremely pitiful flight.

Yes, Albuquerque Soaring was first in the US for the second year in a row (and third in the world club rankings in 2005, one place better than the year before). And yes, the ridge bashers are off to a flying start -- but then we like to give them a bit of a start. Just for encouragement. And yes I...

Has anyone done this yet? My version (3.2) tries to send it to a 2005 URL. -ted/2NO

The new OLC season has started. There are a few rule changes everyone should know about. The FAI-OLC score is now a 30% bonus on the OLC Classic score, and this combined score is now called OLC-Plus. For the OLC classic score, legs 5 & 6 are no longer devalued. All six legs are scored...

Looks like the 2014 season has started one week early. According to the published rules, the last day of the 2013 season was suppose to be the 2nd Monday of October, not the first Monday. Ramy

OLC seems to be having issues. Flights upload, but ghosting out. Any ideas? Craig

Have been trying to submit a flight to OLC for about 24 hrs, cannot get access. Server down??

This is primarily aimed at US pilots, but certainly applies to us all... The latest issue od Soaring magazine has a well written editorial by Dennis Wright about our responsibilities of avoiding airspace that requires permission to enter. On page 13 there's an article if interest to any of us...
