Default OLC Down?

Thanks Max. Couple of more issues I noticed but I assume those are known issues is that the optimization distance calculation does not always matches SeeYou/OLC, especially the FAI triangle optimization does not seem to work right in most of my flights. If these are not known issues I can open tickets.


Triangle calculation is wrong, known issue, I have spent a week or so
on attempting to fix it, but it will take another week or two (when I
have the time). When the algorithm is fixed, all flights will be
recalculated.

The OLC "classic" distance should be correct, but it does not take
engine use into account yet.

Don't forget, SkyLines is in a very early stage of development. We
encourage everybody to upload as many IGC files as possible, but
expect many bugs and usability problems. Development of this project
started only 2 months ago! But look what we achieved so far, compared
to OLC after more than 10 years.
