Changes in this version from the previously published version (FS2025 R1.6)
Features:
- Introduce GAP2026 (See section 7F of the FAI sporting code, 2026 edition, for details):
- Introduce Elevated Goal.
- Introduce upper and lower limits for control zones.
- New scoring approach for pilots betweeen ESS and goal in stopped tasks.
- Adjust turnpoint tolerance.
- Use Vincenty algorithm for geodesic calculations.
Improvements:
- Improve map navigation: Left-click drag pans the map, Shift + left-click zooms in.
- UTC offsets: Limit input to actually possible offset values.
- Automate the determination of the scored flight time windows in stopped Time Trials and Races with multiple start gates.
- Speed up tracklog evaluation: Process tracklogs in parallel, with more memory efficiency.
- Remove Nominal Launch and Nominal Goal from scoring formula settings for GAP 2025 and later.
- In task result report, make scoring formula parameter list easier to read, only include values that are actually configurable for a given scoring formula.
- Remove legacy scoring formula parameters use_1000_poitns_for_max_day_quality, leading_weight_factor, and distance_squared_for_LC.
Bug fixes:
- Uninstaller leaves residual files behind.
- .xctsk importer: failed when optional data is left out: launch window task deadline times.
- Tracklog files with only pilot number as file name, but padded with leading zeros, are not attributed to the pilot.
- Score, then select different pilot in map: NullReferenceException.
- Multi-select of pilots in task no longer works (e.g. for setting to ABS).
- Jump-the-gun in races with multiple start gates does not work.
- Import Piloten von FSDB: uses ISO instead of IOC country code.
