When I set tasks in Condor2, I set up the turnpoint window parameters and those settings
do not work during the flight, with the windows appearing in the wrong altitudes or other anomalies.
I do not fully understand the bug, some turnpoint windows work, and others don't,
also, I have seen the same bug in other people's tasks as well, where the flight planner and map
show the correct info, but in the task, the window is not correct.

Re: Turnpoint Window problems
Never seen it.
FPL files and screenshots please.

Re: Turnpoint Window problems
Yes, we already had this problem when we arrived on a flight to Reumion Island.
The window was set at 200 meters but the frame on the post was at 1200 meters.
The PDA was well set at 200 meters for a correct arrival.
I don't have the fpl anymore!!!!!

Re: Turnpoint Window problems
I also have the problem on many places of the Slovenia Landscape. There seem to be some small regions where low level turnpoint do not work.
In the task "Tiefer ueberflug am Meer" there are the following problems:
- TP 3 is lower than you see. So you have to fly below the window, as shown in the PDA
- TP 4 moves 200 m upwards 2 seconds before you arrive, but you have to fly below the window, as shown in the PDA
In the task "Fliegen am Strand" there are following problems:
- TP 4 jumps higher about 200m a minute before you arrive, but you have to fly low as shown in the PDA, i.e. below the window you see
- TP 6 and 7 move down and TP also rotates 1 minute before you arrive, but you have to fly through the shown position. (Look at the screenshot: TP 7 is perpendicular to the river in the PDA and parallel to the river in the game. Here you have to use the window parallel to the river, while on other situations you have to follow the PDA).
- TP 8 sometimes works and sometimes not, without any correlation to the point you fly through. Sometimes you need 10 trials and still it is not accepted, sometimes it works in the first trial. In multiplayer mode some player might be able to end the task and other not.
The problem is identical for free flights and for all players in multiplayer mode.
Link to the two tasks: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qunt8q27167k ... pedRa?dl=0
I tried to change the altitude and position of the windows and also tried to plan the whole task completely a second time, but those turnpoint still do not work, therefore I suppose that there are some bugs in particular regions of the landscape. Other tasks I prepared have no problem. The problem is not that the turnpoints are partially in the ground since on other positions they work.
It is a very annoying problem since you loose a lot of time testing the task after every change.
By the way it is quite silly that you cannot attach the tasks data in this forum and that a 800 kB screenshot is too large^^.

Re: Turnpoint Window problems
Apparently you did some search on the forum because you found this old thread, but there is a more recent one: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=18690&hilit=window+turnpoint, in which I said one year ago what I am going to repeat here:Vale wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 11:29 pmI also have the problem on many places of the Slovenia Landscape.

The problem is known, it has been identified and reported to the development team.
The display of window type turnpoints after the first one is not correct.
It does not depend on the landscape.
However the tasks are still flyable as it is only a graphical bug. Use screen 3 to navigate to the TP
You can paste the flight plan into a code section: [</>] in the toolbarBy the way it is quite silly that you cannot attach the tasks data in this forum
Why don't you resize that screenshot ? 1024x768 is quite sufficientand that a 800 kB screenshot is too large^^.
I guess you have plenty of bandwidth, but have you thought of users on phones or with a low bandwidth ?

Re: Turnpoint Window problems
I found only this one searching "turnpoint window" - I'll have a look at the other if I learn more there!Apparently you did some search on the forum because you found this old thread, but there is a more recent one: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=18690&hilit=window+turnpoint, in which I said one year ago what I am going to repeat here:
Ok I changed some windows into traditional turnpoints with low altitudeThe problem is known, it has been identified and reported to the development team.
The display of window type turnpoints after the first one is not correct.

This is normally true, but not for the last turning point in the second task I linked. You can fly exactly in the middle and it still sometimes work and sometimes not.However the tasks are still flyable as it is only a graphical bug. Use screen 3 to navigate to the TP
Maybe you could give a hint about how large it should be instead of just "too large".Why don't you resize that screenshot ? 1024x768 is quite sufficient
Thank you for your fast reply and greets from Berlin!!
Re: Turnpoint Window problems
I seem to have a different window bug.
The helpers display the window correctly vs the PDA and flight plan. But it still dose not register.
This is with only one window at the end or the start of the flight. After many attempts it works or will work from the wrong direction and acknowledge it is the wrong direction.
Very frustrating after a long multiplayer flight, or missing the start when others get it.

Re: Turnpoint Window problems
Did the 2.1.2 update fix the problem with the turning point windows? Since the representation of the sectors was improved, maybe also this little bug was fixed.
