Default photo landing on SeeYou 3.95

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?

Without a copy of the igc file I can't be sure, but if it was an AAT (which
it looks like from the task description), I would guess that the photo
landing is when the time ran out (i.e. 2h30 from the start).


Posting to OLC was the right thing to do. As soon as I saw the trace,
I noticed that the ENL levels were spiking way up, even though I have
a pure glider. There happened to be a big spike at 2:06 that
coincided with a low point, and I guess the algorithm in SeeYou
decided that I had started the engine there. It would be nice if
'Photo Landing' were replaced with 'Engine Start' in this case - would
have avoid a lot of electron abuse ;-).
