Hello Skizzo

Looks like nice formula for short summer event. :)
I really like same airfield for whole contest (and start/finish at same place).
I'd like to join but plane icons range: generally up to 10 km is imho way too far.
Optimal would be 1 km (of course in RL you can't spot CN from 1000 m, but finally it is game).
Unfortunately 10 km icons spoils all the fun (it is almost same as flying with thermal helpers ON - all is marked, there is lack of independence in flying => gaggle flying, feeling of crowd on monitor etc etc).

Yes 10 Km is quite a lot.. but 1 km is also to little, when i fly RL i see gliders also at 3/4 KM distance.. so I will Lower to 5 km like all other competitions
the Today task still 10 km, but the other three will have 5 km..
thanks for the suggestion..

BTW i took of the club the last day and replaced it with two seater,

Hello!
Thank you for answer Skizzo.
I don't wanna force my vision - it was just general MHO. :)

when i fly RL i see gliders also at 3/4 KM distance

Exactly the same is possible in Condor with 1 km icon. You can see them coz you're not disturbed by (very contrast) icons. So you just can start to see distant gliders. You can spot them from 3-4 km but you don't know who is who. That's also the point. :) Some markers are more valuable than others. ;)

I hope me and F9 will back September with our weekly (Thursdays) short formula events (same airfield, one class, 5-6 tasks - one not scored, realistic weather, 1 km icons etc). I hope you'll join. :) There was already: TCC Taupo - 18 metre Class, VCC - Venlo - Std Class, LKCC - Lake Keepit 20 m Multi Seat and few others. You can find all them at C-C archive: https://www.condor-club.eu/comp/competi ... ?arch=true

No problem at all..
This is why i set the visibility at 5 KM like all the other tasks i flew :D
5 is a good compromise, not to much, not to little.. this is why all major tasksetters use 5 km
I these tasks thermals are often wide and strong and easyly idetifided with nice high clouds and very good vario values, and there is also a reason for this..
Tasks have to be fun and fast, and not to struggle finding a +0.5 thermal, mean the thing already starts late in the evening (20:13 italian time ) , and if the also to long and slow people get to tired...
PE The training task of yesterday evening was long 215 km, and the best player ended it in one hour, all my tasks are under 300 km , more around 250 km.. so in one hour and a half it should be al finished.. that's also beacuse the comp is made during workdays, and somone must get up early in the morning :wink:
Hope to se you in game, yep i will show up in TCC
Ciao.
