Hi Frank,


I have seen that a few times. *It normally goes away when I edit the
turnpoint sectors to reflect those used in the flight. *To do that in
SeeYou, go to the Edit menu and select "Flight Properties". *Then go to the
Observation Zone tab.


I think there are other tips to getting past the issue, but I don't remember
them at this moment. *I'll think about it. *It may have been other settings
in the Flight Properties windows.

I flew a TAT today at the Cordele, Ga USA contest, and as I always do
I opened my flight in SeeYou 3.95 for analysis. *Except this time it
showed a 'photo landing' between the 2nd and 3rd turn areas, and there
seems to be no way to get rid of it. *I have been using SeeYou for at
least 8 years, and am pretty familiar with the common sorts of task
declaration errors that can lead to this situation. *However, this
time I can't get rid of it for the life of me.


I attempted to post this on the Naviter support forum, but that seems
to be screwed up too. *I can't get an activation email, and since I
can't get an activation email, I can't complete the forum registration
and therefore can't post. *I also looked at their forum postings about
'photo landings' and it seems that the SeeYou folks aren't really
interested in addressing this issue (assuming it *is* an issue and not
just something I'm doing wrong).


Anyone else had this *problem with SeeYou 3.95?

More on the *photo landing problem:

I found that I was able to move the photo landing at 2:06 point to
earlier in the flight by changing the 'Task Time' value (new in
v3.95??) to a number less than 2:06. *IOW, if I change this value from
its default '00:00:00' to 01:00:00, then the photo landing takes place
exactly 1 hour into the flight. *I can move the photo landing point
anywhere up to and including 2:06, but changing the time to something
larger than 2:06 doesn't move the photo landing point to the right -
strange!

My imagination or a bug in 3.95?

Paul,


Been there, done that ;-). *I have also seen 'photo landings' when I
didn't have the task set up properly, or I forgot to change the task
type to 'Assigned Area Task'. *However, I have done all that properly
(or at least I have double and triple-checked the settings and can't
find anything wrong).


Very frustrating. *I just upgraded from V3.81 to V3.95, and I'm
beginning to wonder if there is some new setting in 3.95 that I don't
know about.

Go to Edit then Filght Properties Window - Task Options Folder -
Set the type to AAT and set a task time.
