[Aus-soaring] Darling Downs Weather for the weekend of 28 - 29 January 2012

[Robert Hart]

  
  
Hi Folks

The weekend forecast is available at
http://the-white-knight-speaks.blogspot.com and I'm afraid it is
rather pessimistic at this stage. The monsoon trough is forecast to
venture a long way south into the continent and with it will come
quite a bit of rain.

I will update tomorrow as usual.

Re: [Aus-soaring] 50th Multi Class Nationals at Narromine

[Tim Shirley]

Hi Mike,

Your generic points about file editing are perfectly correct, and 
there's certainly nothing wrong with a general discussion about how to 
make an airspace file or files that everyone can live with.  I make 
similar files quite regularly and I am in agreement that the smaller the 
file, the better.


However, the existing files are fixed in the rules for Narromine.  Since 
the scorer can only use the files specified in the rules, the danger for 
anyone using a different and unofficial file in their PDA will be the 
possibility of getting penalties due to something important accidentally 
disappearing in the editing.


The problem with this forum is that while many of the Narromine entrants 
and organisers will be reading this, there will also be many who are 
not, and no one knows which ones.  So it is not quite correct to say 
that "everyone" knows about this concern now.  This is why I suggest 
going direct to the organisers.  Anyone can edit the files, but only the 
the organisers can change them on an official basis and make sure every 
entrant (and the scorer) gets an identical copy.  That remains my 
recommendation.


Cheers


 /Tim/

Why? This could arise at any contest and now everyone is aware of it. 
We could have one person edit the databases for the contest or every 
single pilot gets to do it.
Try to think before hitting send. I know it hurts but try to make the 
effort.

Ross,

WinPilot on older iPaqs has serious issues with large databases of 
any kind. It seems to be constantly checking final glide to any 
marks landable point in either the TP file or the Airfield file 
(which contains every official airfield in asia and australia) - it 
can't do this in the refresh time, so crashes WinPilot - deleting 
the Airfield file helps.


I suspect that it is also constantly checking the distance to any 
airspace boundary, but the calculation used is unable to ignore 
unrealistic points in the file. This means a huge file causes the 
same problems as above.


In real terms (as you ask), WinPilot crashes if I try to use the 
airspace file on either of the iPaqs I have owned.


Newer iPaqs with much faster processors, and processors better 
designed for calculations will work, but may be close to the limit !


I have previously taken this huge airspace file and spent several 
hours deleting any airspace that I wasn't likely to encounter from 
it, but this file is out of date (even if I can find it again).


Matt


There are several issues here. There are basically 3 ways you can set 
up a moving map:

Track up
Desired Track up
North up

Gliders change track all the time. Each time you do if you have the 
first selection the whole moving map gets redrawn. This is 
computationally intensive as the WHOLE map gets redrawn not just the 
bit you see on screen. Checking airfields and airspace boundaries 
isn' t so bad.


Use Desired track up or North up to reduce the computation load.

You should take the huge airspace file and edit it to several files 
relevant to the particular sites. Delete any detail that isn't 
relevant like the inner Brisbane airspace boundaries and you should 
also personally check any critical boundaries against the latest 
version of the Designated Airspace Handbook. Avoid those embarrassing 
points penalties due "airspace violation". For airspace relevant to 
gliding the airspace database can be quite small at most sites.
OpenAir is a simple airspace description language easily human 
readable on any text editor like Notepad.
Likewise any airfield or turnpoint databases should be edited down to 
only those in the contest task area.


It is bad that the program crashes instead of gracefully degrading.

If you do what I say above you shouldn't crash any kind of PDA/PNA

Re: [Aus-soaring] 50th Multi Class Nationals at Narromine

[gstevo10]

Tom,
What point are you trying to make re start points?
My understanding is that the local rules say indeed, that a selection from (not 
all), the old start points as listed in the nominated database will be the ones 
used for this contest.Do you have a problem with that?
Cheers,
Gary

Ross,

WinPilot on older iPaqs has serious issues with large databases of any kind. It 
seems to be constantly checking final glide to any marks landable point in 
either the TP file or the Airfield file (which contains every official airfield 
in asia and australia) - it can't do this in the refresh time, so crashes 
WinPilot - deleting the Airfield file helps.

I suspect that it is also constantly checking the distance to any airspace

the file. This means a huge file causes the same problems as above.

In real terms (as you ask), WinPilot crashes if I try to use the airspace file

Hi Chris

The airspace file was provided to the organizers by a highly experienced

Gore-Brown previously gave the task setters a whole lot of flexibility to

issues tasking out  of Narromine so it wasn't felt necessary to assign a

found no problem with it at all.

forecasting well ahead of time.

If you want to follow the progress of the pilots during the task each day
you will be able to track them with the SPOT device directly from the
website.

 

If you haven't registered for the competition yet there are still a few
places available and you will be very welcome to join the fun. You can
download the entry form from the website and email it back to the comp
organizers.

 

It promises to be a great Comp! We hope you enjoy it and have fun.

Nice pics Matthew, obviously a big day but you seem to have squeezed
everything out of it judging from your last pic.
Great flight well done, congratulations.

Hello All,

Just wondering what is the youngest age of an AUS pilot to complete a

1000km in AUS? Whether that be a FAI or OLC 1000km?

Keen to know, Matthew Scutter managed the feat out of Gawler very

recently, at age 19 (I think)!

Well done Matthew, looks like I've got some catching up to do over the

coming 25yrs...
