#8 new enhancement
New tasktypes: Open Distance - 2, 3, 4, 5 points

Description
Current version (4.14) of GpsDump only saves 2 point distance ("Open distance" - best straight distance between any two points on the tracklog) and 5 point distance (best distance from a point on the tracklog via 3 other points on the tracklog to a last point on the tracklog).
Next version of GpsDump vil also save 3 and 4 point distances in the GpsDump .kml format (These are same as the OLC type tasks).
FS will make use of this to let task-setter set open distance tasks where one define
- a start turnpoint (normally a circle around take off)
- select either 2, 3, 4, or 5 point distance
The task is then: have a point inside the start turnpoint (to prove you started from the right place), then fly wherever you want to make a best possible 2, 3, 4, or 5 point distance on the tracklog.

Any major progress on it ? As there something to help ? I would love to test and use it for next Manilla XC-Open 2010, (end of January 2010) when it is possible. Best regards, Andreas Rieck

I like this idea, makes xc comps easily scorable. I think there should be at least 2 options: points per km normalise tasks to 100 points
other options could include bonuses for flat triangle, out and return and fai triangle. I imagine gpsDump gives the distances of these only if they are properly closed, or using the 'set loop flight gap' parameter. It may be nice to have this as a percentage rather than fixed km (maybe difficult?). Thanks, Mark
