More on technicality woes


Posted by Pieter


I've posted before about the small margin between hero & zero in this comp. Another small example herewith.


The blue line in the picture shows my track log, suppossedly crossing the end gate landing from left to right on task 5. Thing is, the thin, straight white line with red ends is unfortunately not realy vissible. The two white (L shaped) runway end markers are actualy vissible but they are actualy to be ignored.


If you studied the documentation propperly (all of about 45 394 pages of it) you would have known that the end gate is an immaginary line running North-South, intersecting the middle point of two red markers on the edge of the airfield. Obviously!


So, another of those task that you practised, preppared, flew and score Zero for because you mis the end gate by 20meters. At least it's the kind of mistake that you only make once. From here on it will only get better.
