SeeYou Tour

Task Planning
Free flights without pre-declared tasks are not going to make flight planning a thing of the past. Even yo-yos need careful preparation, let alone small or huge FAI triangles.

Planning Triangles with FAI Triangle Assistant is pure fun.

You may be triangle specialist or novice. You will always need help with defining FAI triangle waypoints.

Let SeeYou make it simple for you. You define the triangle first. Make sure the FAI Area is displayed by pressing the button in toolbar (or using Ctrl+F). See how much margin you still have. Press Ctrl+R or the icon in toolbar to move the area around the triangle.
Use your imagination.

Planning a competition flight is very special too. Use SeeYou to create custom sectors - big and small - and create random selected tasks with a couple of mouse clicks.

Assigned Speed Task (AST)
Assigned Area Task (TDT/AA and DST/AA)
Random Order Task (TDT/TP and DST/TP)
Custom tasks

Assigned Speed Task (AST)
This is a normal task with start, finish and waypoints. Like all pre-declared cross-country flights. It's easy:

Use list and/or map view to create a task from start to finish.

Use keyboard to enter waypoint names in list view or
Use your mouse to see what you are planning on the map.

Assigned Area Task (TDT/AA and DST/AA)

It is a task where pilots must pass pre-declared areas in a given order. The fixes that produce longest distance (one from each area) become actual waypoints.

1. Design a normal task,
2. Choose Edit->Task Properties,
4. Change Type to "Distance task with Assigned Areas",
2. Choose Observation Zones tab,
3. Design each observation zone separately,
5. Drag and drop this task on an existing flight
6. Enjoy full Statistics for the flown task.

Random order Task (TDT/TP and DST/TP)
In this type of task the organizer will pre-declare a number of waypoints (15,30,100,...) which pilots can choose from in the air. There may be pre-declared start and finish sequences as well as limited number of waypoints that are allowed to be used.

1. Design a task with all pre-declared waypoints,
2. Choose Edit->Task Properties,
3. Change Type to "Distance task with Turn Points",
4. Choose how many waypoints are allowed,
5. Select the number of obligatory start points (1=start only)
6. Select the number of obligatory finish points (1=finish only)
7. Select how many bonus points are awarded for finishing.
8. Drag and drop this task on an existing flight
9. Enjoy full Statistics for the flown task.








Note that if an obligatory waypoint can be used as random waypoint as well it needs to be declared twice. Once in the start or finish sequence and again as a random waypoint.

Custom Task types
What's described above are template tasks that IGC will use at competitions. There are however many other possibilities for these new tasks.
Here is a list of what parameters in Task Properties->Options are for:

Type: Built-in tasks that correspond to IGC rules for championships
No start before: Opening of start gate
Task time: Optimization ends when Time = Actual Start Time + Task Time

Use waypoints: Task distance is sum of distances between reached Waypoints
Use flight fixes: Task distance is sum of distances btw. actual fixes that give longest task

Random order of waypoints (cannot be used with "Use flight fixes"). If checked:
Maximum nr. of waypoints that are allowed in task including start and finish points
Fixed nr. of waypoints at start: obligatory points. They are grayed in list view
Fixed nr. of waypoints at end: obligatory points. They are grayed in list view
Bonus for finish: percents awarded for finishing the task

In case of an outlanding you can calculate:
minimum distance to next observation zone or
maximum distance from last observation zone

You may Allow missed zones (missed ones are listed in Statistics)
and set the Near distance for how close to the zone is close enough.

Let the flight set turnpoints and not vice-versa!
