photo landing on SeeYou 3.95

This problem (Photo Landing) is caused by a noise spike (opening the air vent?) causing SeeYou to think you started your motor . *Go to the Flight Attributes (or whatever it's called) and check the "Glider Only" box. Kirk Yep - I had exactly the same problem when a gear door stuck open. "Pure glider" didn't fix it either, as the noise was loud *throughout the flight, but this should work for an isolated noise spike. *I was able to modify mine *by changing the start and end of soaring times. Mike- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Why is that people cannot design software to ignore the ENL record when the glider is not a motor glider? I am often irritated by having to adjust my start time on OLC because it uses the noise level even though I am not a motor glider. When I asked OLC for ENL to be ignored I was asked "how shall we determine your start of soaring flight". I responded "same as for logs that have no ENL record". Nothing changed, it still uses ENL for pure gliders. Andy |

photo landing on SeeYou 3.95
"Frank" wrote in message ... On Jun 9, 5:40 am, "Peter Wyld" wrote: "Frank" wrote in message ... 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? Frank (TA) 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 ;-). TA Now that your trace has been posted where I can get at it, I've looked at it. I can't see any noise in SeeYou. If you set the task time to 2:30, you get a photo outlanding after 2 hours 30 (no surprise there!), If you set the task time to 3:30 you get a completed flight. If you leave the tasktime at 00:00:00 it gives you a completed flight. I ran it against a UK scoring script with a 2:30 task time and it scores you just fine (3h25m38s, 154miles, 44.9 mph) although it still shows a photo outlanding at the task timeout time (as it should). I don't think SeeYou can create good results from an AAT without the help of a scoring script, it's OK with Racing tasks without a script (simple computation of distance vs time). good luck with the comp! |

On any day that has a CIvil Twilight, for a start. I don't know what they do if there are gliding contests north of a line from Oslo to St Petersberg. |
