Hello!
CGR to the winners! Wasn't easy!
results on cc: https://www.condor-club.eu/ftrrank/0/?f ... e7d9f6cc2e

Some stats from Practice Day.

As usually: FTRs > CoFliCo > IGCs > SCI 2.62a click to enlarge

MCC_PD.jpg

mCR: mean climb rate of the whole flight | mGN: mean gliding number (gliding number without influence of wind)
mIAS: mean indicated airspeed (the speed you see on your speedometer, the real speed is higher depending on the altitude) | nLift: number of lifts
DeltaGN: additional gliding number (difference between mGN and GN of speed polar) | Vmet*): average of rising and sinking air
AltLift: average climbed in a lift | Detour: Detour in percent, only gliding passages are regarded.

--
*) I removed some columns related to polar due to ballast dump was rather very popular this time, read F9 note about SCI stats after water dump [from similar thread]: [...] many pilots dump water. This changes the speed polar. The calculation of Vmet in SCI based upon the water at the start (pilot enters game). Most will start with full ballast and dump water during flight. That means, Vmet calculated by SCI is not precise in this case. Dumping water increases sink (if speed is greater then speed at best glide number). Therefore the Vmet (by SCI) becomes smaller and maybe negative.
If you know, at what time the pilot has dumped how many water, you can go to 'Flight Datas' (Menu of SCI), select the track (red, blue or green) and click on the 'Water' button. Here you can correct the water, which is on board. Then SCI makes all Vmet and DeltaGN calculation with this value.
Btw you can look for the Vmet/DeltaGN values for every leg and data section. The most precise value you get from the data section calculation. Leg and summery calculations are only averages from the data section calculations.

See ya on next training, next Thu!

If someone would like to have all ftrs to refly with ghosts or igcs for deeper analyse etc. Please drop me a msg. Notice: Above there are no igcs from Iann Benesovsky (BY3) (which was 3rd) [problem with ftr to igc conversion, must be C2 glitch, timeout or so] and nortoise [no ftr].

See you Thursday on 1st Day!

Hello!

Short reminder - today we will start our competition.
GLA!

ATTENTION:
We'll have AATs today - 1 h 45 min (105 min)

If you're new to C2 or Assigned Area Task or just want to recall some AATs principles,
please take a look - some useful information how to fly this kind of task:

CGR to the winners! And finishers - all did it.
BTW: Looks like DG don't need handicap - opposite rather.
With my mCR I need to take few lessons of thermaling and make an inspection of my glider/settings/PC. Smthng is def. wrong here. :]
There will be AAT again in a few weeks - please take a look - little knowledge how to fly this kind of task: https://is.gd/XzvsNj
If someone knows useful materials about AATs in English or different languages (French, Spanish, German) - please paste links here, I'll add them to AAT post. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for such amazing report! A lot of info to learn from there.

Explanation about how to work with AAT tasks in Spanish here: https://youtu.be/zvU_KjsGjLU

Thanks for the competition! I enjoyed yesterday.

[EDB]

mCR: (mean climb rate of the whole flight) doesn't say much if you are waiting under clouds before the start...

Only if it was for the completed task it would mean something...

[Pit_R]

Sorry, my fault - I've checked SCI manual:
mCR: Average climbrate in m/s for the task/leg

ShowCondorIGCManual.zip

So my average mean the same as before...

Dist.: 239,9
mCR: 1,84

To 030KIRN
Dist.: 48,3
mCR: 1,53
AltCircle: 1130
nLift: 4
mAltLift: 282

To 101WALLDORF
Dist.: 84
mCR: 2,18
AltCircle: 1326
nLift: 3
mAltLift: 442

To Marpingen
Dist.: 107,6
mCR: 1,86
AltCircle: 1587
nLift: 3
mAltLift: 529

PS
Updated also description under SCI screenshot.

[Fabry]

Thank you for setting this up Pit_R despite my poor performance I really enjoyed this, I wish that Condor had native support for AAT scoring so these could be more common.
