VCC :: Venlo Condor Competition :: Std Class

Hello!
All are welcome to join VCC! :)
We start Jan 29th with one and only official training task.
Unofficial trainings will be tomorrow and next Tuesday (22.01).
First racing day: Feb 5th (Five Tuesdays till March 5th).

Time: Tuesdays
Server A and B: 20.00 CET [19.00 UTC]
Server C will start at 20.30 CET [19.30 UTC]

30 min jointime, 1 min race in

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

Tasks are inspired by the 'Nationale Junioren Wedstrijd'
https://www.soaringspot.com/en_gb/natio ... 18/results
which took place between August 4th and August 11th in 2018 in Venlo.
Of course, in this region the weather is not so bombastic as in Australia. ;) So you can expect cloud bases between 1200 and 1700 m, average climb rates between 1 - 2+ m/s and an average speed about 90 to 125 km/h. Please adjust your tactic to this conditions.

There will be two AATS during competition, here are few articles worth to read before flight:
viewtopic.php?f=30&t=18310#p158770

Thanks to Erik / http://virtualsoaring.eu / we can now use TS.
If someone wants to use voice chat during race - please visit: http://virtualsoaring.eu/teamspeak for details.

Scenery we will fly:
Netherlands 1.1

"This scenery is named "Netherlands" because the main bulk of the area is Holland. However my original aim with this scenery was to recreate the Dutch/Germany border area where I had flown quite a bit in real life. It therefore does not include all of the Netherlands and some key gliding sites in Holland will not be included.
There are some airfield details included but only a basic thermal map which means thermals can be anywhere.
By Andy 1248"

Edit: updated version 1.1 have water animations + thermal map

Scenery download: https://www.condor-club.eu/viewsceneries/0/?id=298
(BTW: Please do not mistake it with another NL scenery - Netherlands HD 2.02 by Lennartvm!)

Hi PIT, Andy made an update for this scenery (see Landscape Topics, Netherland2) with some improvements, especially a corrected thermal map. Will we use this updated version?

C-C results: https://www.condor-club.eu/comp/besttimes/0/?id=12068
Wonder why are different, maybe are calculated by c-c from its converted* igcs, not original ftrs.

BTW: Above SCI results are ftrs (downloaded from c-c) converted by me to igcs (in C).

* C-c info: "Warning about IGC files: These files are generated from FTR by Condor Club - not by Condor itself - and won't be recognized as valid by CondorFileValidator.exe tool (very small difference in float values due to rounding and CRC is not calculated)."
