Default See You :

Nice flight.

It appears you rounded all the turnpoints, and in fact SeeYou says that
you did, but also says the task wasn't finished. One of the SeeYou guys
may have to explain this.

Does your triangle meet the 28% FAI requirement? It looks like the third
leg is a bit short. But that doesn't explain why SeeYou says you didn't
complete the task.

Me again!

Actually I looked at your initial post and see that what you declared
IS the task See You knows about (571.0 Km triangle). I thought you
had more TP's for a while there.

But you clearly didn't go through the FAI sectors, you certainly went
beyond them substantially....... but thats not the same as through
them!

And if you zoom in, you'll see that you didn't get any closer to the
apex of the Ely AP sector than the photo landing point in your orbit
to the North East.

So See You is working as designed I'd say.......... and you either
have to try harder to get the sectors or just use the Edit/Optmize/
Copy process to get your distance.

Regards, Bernie.


Okay. I'm obviously mistaken about the nature of the FAI Sector. I
had believed the legs were infinitely long, and haven't found a
reference in the FAI Sporting code that specifies any size for the
sector. Doesn't mean it's not there, just means I haven't found it
yet. If you have a reference, please post it. I didn't claim the
flight for anything but OLC, but would hate to be attempting a badge
fligth and find out only after the flight that I'd blown it!

Thanks
Jim
