I tried it for the first leg and maybe I'm just a horrible pilot but I lost 100-300m in every thermal...I mean it could be that his thermalling technique is much better than mine, but getting an average of 4,7m/s over a complete thermal where I don't even get 4,5 avg for a single circle is a bit strange. Maybe someone else could try it as well, some confirmation would be helpful, it still could be that I'm just a far worse pilot in thermalling.

Michel (CN= DGT) did it, I suppose Tim (NX) did it (I sent him the files),
and I did it twice on the first leg of SBC201-Day11, and I did it aswell on the whole SBC2010-Day11 !
Even with all the chances on our side (I add the PDA, ACE is supposed not to have it on this task, I add the thermal helpers), all the conclusions form everybody are the same :
ACE is impossible to follow in the thermals even if you enter in each thermal 50 meters behind him and on the same line !
After only one circle you are below him ... and hundreds meters below him at the end of almost all the thermals used !
It seems that each thermal he is turning gives him 1 to 1.5 m/s. more than what you get and what is planned in the original flight plan !
His trajectories in the thermals are not perfect at all, so we may suppose that he doesn't get the thermal helper during his OnLine flights, but even when we do not following his plane to be able to concentrate on the best climb possible with all the helps (PDA centering tool & thermal helper), in the same thermal with those bad circles he is doing, each time he is still climbing much faster than us !
So for me and some other pilots (some are very good Condor & Real Pilots) there is no doubt : he is not flying with the same weather as the others on the server !
ACE has found a "cheating system" to fly OnLine tasks with the weather locally modified on his Condor Client and without the server detecting it. The problem for him is that he doesn't know how to pass thru the protections of Condor-Club .ftr files fine analysis !
He is trying to do so by modifying the .ftr files ... but he failed !
ACE is probably using his system at least since the beguinning of the SBC2010 contest ... so all ACE's flights are suspicious !
If some courageous pilots could fly with ACE ghosts on the SBC2010 days before the 11th ... that would be interesting.
But the worst thing he did was to lie to the Organisation Team ... and just for that reason he deserves to be out of the competition !
Asked to explain some weird things in his files, he said "sorry I don't understand the technical stuffs you are telling me" ... and a few days after he said "OK, you are right that was a story from me, I perfectly know what you mean ... but you know ... dadada ..." !
How can we trust a guy with such a behavior and apparently such a controversy Condor past !
