Sharing your flights with the rest of the world

[yyz]

Greetings fellow flyers of "The Triangle",

The organizers of OLC (http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/segelflugszene/index.html) (Online Soaring Contest) (translated (http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.onlinecontest.org%2Folc-2.0%2Fsegelflugszene%2Findex.html)) have begun accepting flight logs for RC sailplanes. The "contest" allows you to post as many flights as you want with your best six flights being used to calculate your year-end score. The scores are then compared with others around the world to determine a "winner".

I quoted "contest" and "winner" to emphasize that there is nothing inherently competitive about any of it. You post your flights, view others' flights and make of it what you will. It's a great learning tool as the site provides some pretty interesting analysis of the flights including visual height histograms.

Anyway, I've attached a Google translated (German to English) version of the introductory page (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Frc.onlinecontest.org%2Folc-2.0%2Frc%2Fcms.html%3Furl%3DOLCRCOverview%26c%3DUS ) from the site as well as a human translated version of the rules for the competition.



Hope you enjoy,

Mike

there you can test some new features ..
> in GPS_Graph as freeware with import most GSP Hardware without certifikation an nice tools for flight calculation.
> http://rc-volkslogger.userboard.org/index.php (german forum for devlopement and test and first results)

its a different way between OLC and Skynavigator or rc-volkslogger...

>> OL
.. nice plattform but very short calculation only over the fastets round (only with certified logger)

>> Skynavigator
.. very good system for experts to fly triangle (only left turn) 30 min time ore 1 round speed (only with skynavigator Hard and Software)

>> rc-volkslogger with GPS_Graph
.. pc plattform as freeware to import data and calculate the flight also with optional actions.
.. save flight and telemetrie and infos in one file
.. XC with second import of way(by foot or car)
.. direkt simulation teh flight or detail selction in G..E.. and IGC Flyer
.. free fight where you want and calulation over time and course with best climb
.. action as fastest cours or best climb (and other actions in work)
.. usable with each logger Hardware
.. import gpx..nmea..IGC..SM-NMEA..SM-Telemetrie..Wea CSV/GPX and Telemtrie..JETI nmea
.. Eagle TRee GPS and Telemetrie.. and open for all

its a new system and we work hard for translation and server plattform ..... (http://rc-volkslogger.com)
