LCONRandomizeWeatherOnEachFlight in IGC file

Post by 6266 » Sun Jan 15, 2023 12:13 pm

In the Vintage Series you have to upload your IGC file after your flight. If in the file LCONFPLRandomizeWeatherOnEachFlight is set to 0, the import isn't possible. I do that one year, and all others flying there too.

Today I loaded the fpl file before the flight, a flight plan I used the whole December and January. In the flight plan the option is set

RandomizeWeatherOnEachFlight=1

Because of a problem during cloud flying I escaped from that flight and started again, only changed in the settings of the flight the water ballast for the LS3.

After the flight I saved the IGC file and tried to import it, but it was denied. In the IGC file I find this settings

LCONFPLRandomizeWeatherOnEachFlight=0

I started Condor again without changing anything and looked at the weather settings: Randomize weather on each flight is set

Strange, I have never had that issue before

I think the seed is only refreshes when restarting Condor, loading a FPL or creating a new task. If you stay in Condor and click on freeflight again it uses the previously used FPL and doesn't refresh the weather seed (same as clicking refly).

Thanks for your answer. I tried to reproduce it, but I always got the "1" in the igc file. Maybe an accident. I will in future stop and restart Condor

It happened again.

Started a flight with an old often used flight plan, in the flight plan randomized weather is set to 1

Landed and exported the igc file, randomized weather is set to 0

Restarted Condor, opened the weather settings, randomized weather is set to 1


I have done that often, never it happend. The only difference in my procedure was (same last time and now), that I saved a replay BEFORE I exported the igc file.

Finally I found a solution and the evidence for the bug:

After the flight I did this

Saved the replay
Saved the fpr
Saved the igc

I now startet Condor and Flight analysis

Loaded the saved fpr
Saved a new igc

-> LCONRandomizeWeatherOnEachFlight = 0

Then

Loaded the LastTrack.fpr
Saved a new igc

-> LCONRandomizeWeatherOnEachFlight = 1

Saving the replay destroys this setting.


If someone of the devs wants to have the files, I have them all and can share them.
