Can't upload task - FPL manually edited error

Post by Paul_UK » Wed Feb 15, 2023 9:27 am

Hi Bod

To let you know if I set cloud base to the minimum allowed via the Condor GUI (3281 feet) CC will not allow me to upload the task. It states parameters are outside of Condor's range, which they are not. I plan to host my task tomorrow but if this issue cannot be solved by then I will just set cloud base a bit higher.

Cheers

Cloudbase is calculated from dew point and temperature. Could you please post here the [Weather] part of your FPL?

Will do when home. I expect a rounding issue possibly as I use imperial not metric.

Yup, rounding error, ThermalsTemp-ThermalsDew must be >= 8, float calculation gives 7.999999999999998, truncated to 7.

Thanks Bod. I will carry out a small manual edit of the numbers so that the value is >=8

Is there a reason to be so restrictive? Let people fly with lower cloud base if they like to do it

I've fixed the calculation on CC, it should now be accepted.

I follow Condor restriction. Strange results can happen if you use out of allowed range values.
