KGC Task Week - Scoring

Scores will be calculated using the BGA Ladder (but not uploaded to the Ladder – if you want to have your flights on the Ladder you will need to do that yourself)

For formulae used see section 12 of: https://bgaladder.co.uk/Rules.asp

· CLUB GLIDERS – Downloading IGC Fles: BEFORE plugging a USB stick into the console of any CLUB glider make sure there is NOT a file called flarmcfg.txt – this WILL mess up the FLARM configuration (obviously does not apply when adding a declaration).

· To facilitate scoring: IGC files should be submitted using: https://trevargee.hopto.org/KGC-TaskWeek. Guidance on how to use this is below.

· If you enter your flight on the BGA Ladder the IGC file MUST still be submitted using the link above – I need to make sure that ALL the flights are scored in the same way

· This should be done by 19:00 on the day – otherwise it will not be included in the scores presented at the next day’s briefing, possibly missing out on a “prize for the day”

NOTE: As long as the “Task Description” gives enough information to determine which task was attempted there is NO NEED to have a declaration in your logger – I will add the declaration before scoring

IMPORTANT

Private owners please check your logger includes the correct information (or, at least, does not have the wrong data) for:

· Glider Type

· Glider ID

· Competition Number

Last year I dealt with a couple of Badge Claims where this was not the case.

NOTE: Do NOT change any of these on the club gliders

Declarations for FLARM (mainly club gliders)

This can be done by:

· Creating a file using: https://flarmcfg.de/flarmcfg

· Copying the file onto a USB stick

· Placing the USB stick into the glider console

· Powering on the FLARM

NOTE: You MUST follow the instructions below – to avoid altering config settings that should be left untouched

Submitting IGC Files

· Open: https://trevargee.hopto.org/KGC-TaskWeek

· Select the file to be uploaded and press “Upload”

· Ensure the following are entered correctly:

o P1 Name: Defaults to whatever is in the IGC file

o P2 Name: If in a 2 seater – defaults to whatever is in the IGC file

o Team Name: If sharing a glider and combining scores

o Task Description Something useful – e.g. “Task A – 22 Aug - 300k” (You can make it longer than the box)

Click “Confirm Details”

· Check the Summary that is presented:

If anything needs changing PLEASE start again (click “UPLOAD ANOTHER FILE”)

YES, I know – the Task Description says “22 Aug”, but the flight was on 31 July

Declarations for FLARM

· Open: https://flarmcfg.de/flarmcfg

· “General” fields:

Fill in:

o Pilot

o Co-Pilot (if a 2 seater)

Do NOT fill in any other fields, in the “General” section for CLUB gliders (you will mess up the FLARM config)

· “Task” Fields:

o Select GBUnitedKingdom Database:

§ Click on right arrow in Databases box

§ Click the X next to DEGermany

§ Pull down the menu and select GBUnitedKingdom

§ Click “Save”

o Enter a useful Task Description

o TAKE OFF: Enter “CLK”

o START: If start is remote then:

§ Click on

§ Enter Start waypoint

o TURNPOINTS:

§ Enter waypoint

§ To add another simply click on +

o LANDING: Enter “CLK”

o FINISH: If finish is remote then:

§ Click on

§ Enter Finish waypoint

o Click on “Create Flarmcfg.txt”:

NOTE: If “File name”, in the dialog that pops up, does not contain flarmcfg.txt (e.g. has flarmcfg (2).txt) then change it to “flarmcfg.txt”
If you don’t you will end up with someone else’s declaration!!!

Example with Start and Finish at the Chalk Pit
