It is great that tasks setters can now choose which gliders will score and which will not on a task. I fly with a group and we put out communications so that pilots are aware only certain gliders will score. ALL is set as the class type.
When a pilot from outside of our group connects via a server finder they are unaware that there are only certain gliders that score for the task. Is there a way for task setters to let pilots know that, for example, only gliders with a handicap of 98 - 108 will score on said task?
Cheers

Manual...
Task description
Here you can write a description of the task. Especially important if you will be hosting this task online later so other pilots can understand it.
Re: Passing on info to other pilots
Of course, but about the same number of people who don't read the manual won't read the task description either ...

Re: Passing on info to other pilots
Quite aware of the Text info box however it isn't the best place. I say this as it only allows one long continuous line of text. I cannot create a list. I should have mentioned I'm aware of this however I don't think pilots look at this info / scroll along it.
So the info would look like so:
Gliders allowed in task: Libelle, Cirrus, ASW19, LS4A, Discus 2a, Genesis, LS8neo
When looking at the task info in the text window you'd be lucky to see more than a few words. Shame wordwrap or something isn't applied. I tried shift+enter, that doesn't let me move down to a new line. A single continuous line of text is all I can get to work at the moment.
It's fine for the group I fly with, it's all the other pilots happily joining the server to fly it blissfully unaware their scores will not count
