Day 48

I joind the MH server today and everthing went well until the start of the race.
On the 1st leg, a few moments after the start, the FPS rate lowered dramatically to 1-2 FPS.
Also the ping went sky high to 700 and more.
For a couple of minutes I waited for this "freeze" to improve.
Unfortunately it didn't and I ended up with a stable 1 FPS.....
Too bad, no other option than to disconnect!! Next sunday the FPS will be with me I hope.

Ciao

I guess in Condor you are lost, when you dont expect any wave with 9kp/h wind.

Too bad that i counted on thermals at first.... got me a measly 116kph average.

I hope that someday this totally unrealistic wave behaviour will be fixed.

To the LLC folks: next time, i suggest you set the wind to 0. So no waves can form.....

Happy landings

Fun race..
But i also did not counted on wave.
And TK...glad to be of help!

The FG i flew together with SKA and KL. Here we come in screaming over the trees still some 5 km's from the finish.

I had a very nice flight again, like the last race. Not as good as the previous one, but also very good.

Waiting for the results....

dont hold your breath/sleep. I scored the results that where in (JH and Fredo2), but bjorn has suffered a harddisk crash, and I'm off to bed in 10 minutes, so the other results won't be online until sometime tomorrow

edit: MK and fredo1 also came in and are scored.. the rest is for later

My first LLC race; had a great time.

Went quite a while without finding any lift, then hit some strong sink just on the wrong side of a ridge and ended up trying to outland in one of the small clearings about 15-20km short of the TP, in the narrow valley to the left of track.

Got my attitude confused without a horizon, and ended up spinning in from about 50m AGL as I turned final to avoid some trees.

I'll hopefully do a little better next time!

Well, when is the perfect time for a harddrive crash? Yes, just before an LLC race...

Still running on an emergency install, thats why i am not able to score. Hopefully, this will not kill your day.

Wish you a good race on sunday and hopefully see you all next thursday again.

server of MH missing??

thermal · Post by **thermal** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 8:40 am

For some reason I still cannot make the mental switch from RL weather to "Condor weather".
With only 9 km/h wind and the ridges hardly working, it never struck my mind that there could be wave anywhere.

Hmmm... well, at least there were some thermals and I made it home.
After start, it took an awfull long time to find one and I saw a lot of pilots take a second start.
After that it was a matter of staying high and use the occasional lift that emerged from the ridges.

Tough at times, but still a nice task.
Thanks again, LLC team.

JJJ, yes MH server is still not up.

To others - there was a lot of places that you could try and see if the wave works. Its just a matter of finding the best "energetic route"

Stupid Question: How can an avg. Speed of 55.4 Km/h beat 100.1 km/h ?
There is of course a penalty of 3 (Cloud flying before start

), but it doesn't seem right.

hello it havez to be correct the last the speeds are close and 55km/h is bad but the sdame if 80 if its so low and CB did get 3penaltys so it have to be correct

asw20 - I think that uder certain speed (I think it is 2/3 of winner speed) You do not gain any points for speed, only for distance, so everyone who finishes with speed slower than 2/3 of winner will have exactly same points (for same kms) and speed does not matter anymore, so any penalty will drop you down under ...
You see thatt ... pilots marked 61-65 should be in fact marked all with position 61 as they have same points.

As swt explained (and explained in detail in our rules page.. same as RL scoring). That said, someone flying for 3h30 (+ jointime and warmup, which means > 4 hours total), I think deserves some points
