TCC :: Terlet Condor Competition :: 20 m Multi Seat




Hello!
We're back with next small competition for early autumn.
Something for fans of slow'n'lowland flying. This time over Netherlands...
All are welcome! Feel free to join.

https://www.condor-club.eu/comp/show/0/?id=359

Training day: Thursday, September 12th

First racing day: September 19th (+ next four Thursdays till October 17th).

Day: Thursday

Server A and B: 20.00 CEST [18.00 UTC]
Server C will start at 20.30 CEST [18.30 UTC]

+30 min join time, 1 min race in

Scoring: best 4 of 5 racing days, 1000 pts for the daily winner

This time smthn more relaxed as tasks are inspired by various RL events from different months.
The base airport is 'Terlet', the used class 'Double Seater'.
In Terlet take place many RL competitions, but some are short (2 or 3 days). Tasks are from different competitions (so notice - different months!).

Tasks are inspired by various Terlet events you can find:
https://www.soaringspot.com/en_gb/search/?q=Terlet
E.g.:
Gelderse 1 daagse 2019 (12 May 2019)
https://www.soaringspot.com/en_gb/gelde ... agse-2019/
KLM Flight Academy Nationale Kampioenschappen Zweefvliegen 2019 (25 May 2019 [AAT] and 31 May 2019)
https://www.soaringspot.com/en_gb/natio ... egen-2019/
etc
The tasks date starts at 11.5.19. Last day we use is 3.7.19

As usually: you can expect cloud bases between 1200 and 1700 m, climb rates between 1+ - 2+ m/s and an average speed about 90 to 125 km/h. Please adjust your tactic to these conditions.


ATTENTION: Finish min height: 300m MSL, Finish Radius: 3 km
[3 km circle over Terlet airfield (82 m MSL)]


There will be two AATS. Min Time for every AAT is 1:45
Few articles worth to read before flying this type of tasks:

Hello
CGR to the podium and all finishers! Stephen did it again. But was close.
Day was indeed not bad according to average.
See ya next week on Training Day (breifing will be sent by C-C 2 hours before start).

Weather was still very good. Global warming or so.

Do you have all the .IGC files for download..?

[Pit_R]

Sure. I pack'd ftrs/igcs:

But it wasn't close this time.

BTW
If you're looking for race possibility but you can't fly with us or just wanna practice, here is good solution - flying with ghosts. It is commonly known, but maybe some new pilots will be surprised. Notice - under "P" there is Pause, no autopilot mode during offline flying.
It is possible to refly D1 task with all pilots (ghosts from ftrs - link above).
You can also relax our realism settings (icons range, RT scoring etc) to your taste / for learning purpose.
You're able to speed up time (hour in "Timing" C. settings) , so you don't even need to wait 30 min before race start.

Please load flight plan from one of the ftrs. (Freeflight - Load - Flight Track tab)
NB you can see all start times in detailed SCI stats above.

Do not touch weather settings!

GL and HF!

Hello!
Maybe someone missed this info...
C-c owner Thierry (BOD1) prepared for us Textures Reducer for Condor 2 so if you'd like to join us but problem was too big scenery - there is not anymore - you can reduce textures yourself.
BTW: If someone have problems with scenery size or reducer - please write me and I will also upload somewhere reduced version and will post link here.

Info:
viewtopic.php?f=34&p=165529#p165525

"New release of DDS Reducer, working now with DXT1 and DXT3 texture files, with Condor v1 and v2.
Comes into a signed installer

Hello!
CGR to all finishers and the SAME podium as last week. Stephen did it again! WD!
(And what is good - my route was quite similar to his, just my overall performance was poor.)

Thanks for the uploads..!

Hello!
CGR to all finishers + safe outlander and to the podium.
Looks like 140 kg ballast did the job in my case.
Also later start was not bad idea I guess...

Hello all

Please patch your C2 to 2.0.8.
Thank you.
Tomorrow we will fly on 2.0.8.

Hello!
CGR to all finishers + safe outlanders and to the podium.
Looks like ballast was important again.

sci_coflico_D4_tcc.jpg

As we changed amount of water during flight I guess some data aren't reliable. F9 will explain it I hope.
BTW: Sorry, dunno why KB6 have so strange values... :/ I noticed this after jpg export. Haven't time to further check it.
Maybe smthn in interpolation by CoFliCo? I'll like to export this ftr from C2 instead, to check what happened.

D4 - FTRs/IGCs: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SEenm ... aD45NRffuc

[Fox9]

In Day4 many pilots dump water. This changes the speed polar. The calculation of Vmet in SCI based upon the water at the start (pilot enters game). Most will start with full ballast and dump water during flight. That means, Vmet calculated by SCI is not precise in this case. Dumping water increases sink (if speed is greater then speed at best glide number). Therefore the Vmet (by SCI) becomes smaller and maybe negative.

If you know, at what time the pilot has dumped how many water, you can go to 'Flight Datas' (Menu of SCI), select the track (red, blue or green) and click on the 'Water' button. Here you can correct the water, which is on board. Then SCI makes all Vmet and DeltaGN calculation with this value.

Btw you can look for the Vmet/DeltaGN values for every leg and data section. The most precise value you get from the data section calculation. Leg and summery calculations are only averages from the data section calculations.

Concerning the strange values of the outlanders, I can conform the guess of Pit. Indeed, the IGCs made with CoFliCo are different from the originals (made by condor). The last record line is different. So far as I can see, this concerns only outlandings.
