Re: [SBC2013] SkyBattle CUP 2013 - First details
Great to hear that! I would like to join but as LK8000 developer every time I fly Condor I test LK8000. Could you please confirm that you will allow external PDAs (via NMEA stream) on your servers? Disabling it would take away a lot of fun from glider pilots that want to learn their navigation software during Winter season.
Re: [SBC2013] SkyBattle CUP 2013 - First details
RaierOne, Philippe, will we allow external PDA ?
Re: [SBC2013] SkyBattle CUP 2013 - First details
Sure you will do, if don't wanna have only non-PDA tasksSimicro wrote:RaierOne, Philippe, will we allow external PDA ?
Re: [SBC2013] SkyBattle CUP 2013 - First details
In the team, I'm the communication guy, my mates RaiderOne and Philippe are the tech and soaring guys So I prefer to let them confirm

Yes for sure, external PDA are allowed as Condor propose it and because, as it is said in the first communication of the SBC2013 Rules, we will only fly "with-PDA" tasks.RaiderOne wrote:...

...
We are working on a sort of "specification notebook" related to the type of tasks (sceneries, average duration, average level of difficulty, realism parameters, etc ...) we will fly during this competition and The tasksetter's small Team will use it for their task production throughout the Competition !
And for the moment, we are still on that option to leave aside the "No-PDA" Tasks.
From my point of view, "No-PDA" Tasks are an interesting style of race (I like them too) but it has to be done on specificly detailled sceneries (obviously) and with gliders not too fast, and it is not really compatible with the spirit of the [SBC2013] Competition.
It probably needs its own competition ... and one more thing : apparently the Condor Pilots interested in that type of race are generally not the same ones !?
Re: [SBC2013] SkyBattle Cup 2013 - First details
I would like to propose if it is possible from the organizing team to announce which sceneries will be used so people can download them in advance.
Re: [SBC2013] SkyBattle Cup 2013 - First details
Yes, a list will be published in due time.
There is also a tip to know which sceneries will be used in the next 3 races http://forum.condorsoaring.com/viewtopi ... 26&t=14691

Hi,
I've got a small question about this scenery.
I've flew in this scenery for four times right now and four times in a row I do get a blue screen.
Will this one be used for the SBC?
Best regards,
JJJ

Hi Jeroen,
I reduced visible distance from very high to high, this solved the problem for me.

Where can I find the DDS Reducer?
Re: Provence-Oisans2 - V2.0
Hi JJJ, Welcome in our Condor community

About blue screen and this scenery, my bet is we should reduce the level of details of all the objects.

Re: Provence-Oisans2 - V2.0
Hello guys,
Because of these blue screen problems, Provence-Oisans2 will not be used right now in the SBC2013.
So, the training day will take place on SloveniaHD.
