The takeoff location is a great idea but it is not much of a use since you
can't click on the airfield to see the flights, all you can see is the
totals. The airfield should be made a link.

One thing that's new in the OLC this year is tracking of flights by
takeoff location. This is a great feature that lets people see results
summarized by takeoff location. It's a useful tool for scouting soaring
sites, or just seeing how people fly in different places.

It is also a critical component of the OLC League scoring, because
league flights are only scored if they depart from your club's
designated home airfield. Unfortunately there are many airports in the
US with similar names, and these names have to be abbreviated to fit in
the OLC format.

There have been a number of flights claimed for the wrong airport in
the SSA-OLC this year. Airports that have been a problem include Byron,
Mifflin, Warner, Williams, etc. We have added the state abbreviation to
airport names known to cause confusion to make them more distinctive.
If you find any other airfiield names confusing, send a note to
olcatssadotorg, and we'll fix them.

Please check your OLC flight claims to make sure you have the correct
airport name, inclluding the state abbreviation if applicable.
Otherwise, your flight will not be scored for your club in the OLC
League starting next week.
