Default IMPORTANT- Seeyou V's Strepla and airspace violations.

Hi,

I haven't followed this tread closely, but I think I need to point out that
both SeeYou and StrePla automatically offset the altitudes displayed to
account for pressure changes using the takeoff elevation. The feature can
be disabled, but you must know that it exists and know how to disable it. I
am a state soaring record keeper and I recently verified that the altitudes
in SeeYou were offset by using the takeoff elevation to "calibrate" the
pressure altitude data from the logger. I wanted to view the raw data so I
looked in the IGC file and I also was able to disable the calibration
feature in SeeYou and see the raw data in the SeeYou analysis. It works
great, but you have to know it exists.

Good Soaring,

This boils down to software.

One shows violations the other doesn't.

You have Seeyou or Strepla?
If not don't comment!!

I have Strepla which shows minor airspace and altitude
violations which
Seeyou does not.

FYI. Ramy's Logger Calibration report shows a +169ft
error at 18000ft.

The flight in question is this one here .

I ask users of both software to look at this flight
and report their
findings.

If this exercise highlights a bug in Strepla I owe
Ramy an apology.

Thanks
