Yesterday I had a very challanging flight.
The thermal settings were 'weak' but the first thermal we (NX, 71, and MH) hit was 4.3m/s
But that could be becausethe thermal strength variation was set to 'high'
Because the avarge climb a had was 1.5m/s
the area around turnpoint 2 is quite high, but luckily the cloudbase rised with the terrain.
Then on the last leg I could only manage 1.2m/s avarage climb while the first two lags gave me 1.7m/s avarage.
This was the whole idea of the task, because If I started 30minutes later I might have landed out.
The reason for this was that the date was set to October in order to get more aspects of RL gliding in less time. So the MC settings were going down a bit on the last leg.
If you long for Challanging Reality Tasks, you should try this one.
