Tried to, but was to stupid to find out that I have to log in again in the Wiki-pages although I already was logged in in the forum.
So I did’t find the edit-button.

Sorry – next time it will work better.

Thanks for your work,
Andi

We had the same problem at last Austrian Championship in Hanggliding.
The pilot landed short before ES (was not identical with goal, so no witnesses there)
During moving his glider out of the landing meadow for derigging he entered ES-cylinder and therefore got, according to GAP 2002, speed points with 20% penalty scored.
There were more than 10 tracklog points with speed lower than 5 km/h until he reached ES, while speed of the trackpoints before landing was 50 down to 35 km/h.
We found this only incidentally.
Until then we relied on the tracklog speed filter, which was on.
Does the filter only work before start?
How does it work?

It is hard to define a reliable criterion for landing in a GPS-track.
Several seconds with low ground speed in same hight can also mean that one soars on one spot. On the other hand touch and go will hardly be detected, if the pilot is a good sprinter.

So in this case the sudden speed drop would be a better indicator.
(how did CompeGPS handle this? – there it worked, as far as I experienced it)

Cheaters (intentionally or not) will only be found if you check the tracklogs carefully at landings. (There are cases reported where a pilot prevented thermalling when running circles on the ground an then drove to goal by car, always taking care to keep proper speed 😉 )

At least it would be helpful to be able to select points of the track and declare them as landing point (context menue, right mouse click..)

Thanks for bringing light to the darkness 😉

I didn’t find this menue, thought that Set Did Fly (DF)(distance=0 – min dist.) .. is only used for assigning min. distance to pilots without tracklog.

Suggestion rename menue item to Set Did Fly (DF)(edit flight)

Problem still is that when adding start time manually because of no tracklog points within SS, the pilot doesn’t get leading points.

Also when correcting to reached ESS but not GOAL by subtracting the missing meters from flight distance, the leading points get lost for this pilot and change for all others.

Andreas

P.S. any idea what the tg- checkbox is used for
