Defining ESS close time early then the TASK close time

[af]

<p>I have geting a problem with FsComp 1.2.6, that (i think) haven’t experienced in previous versions!</p>
<p>We some times used to define a close time for ESS early then the task close time. The intention was to stop scoring arrival positions after EES close, but continuing to score distance points until the TASK close time.<br />
This version doesn’t allow to define a close time for a waypoint, later then the close time from a previous waypoint.<br />
How can we define a situation like that n FS? Is that possible?

Defining ES tp close time earlier than the close time of next tp is possible.
However, you will not get the effect you describe above.

The way it works in FS:

The pilot will have to take the turnpoints in the correct order and before the close time given for each turnpoint.
Being late at a turnpoint means one get the distance flown until the close time for the turnpoint.

If you set the close time for the ES turnpoint an hour earlier than the last turnpoint (GOAL), a pilot being to late at the ES turnpoint will get the distance flown at the closing time for the ES turnpoint.

Setting a close time for the ES turnpoint to be later than the next turnpoint would (as it works in FS) mean that the tracklog is stopped at the point where the close time for the next turnpoint is reached. So it would not have the desired effect to do so.

The time points (in the GAP formulas) is a function of the fastest time flown and how much slower the others fly and those flying slow to ES will get 0 time points anyhow.

It seems that what you are after is an option to specify a given time of the day where time does not count anymore.
