I think the problem that Bre901 could be referring to is that we found that if the Start Point and the first (or possibly subsequent) turn points had exactly the same names, then the start point seemed to be ignored by LK8000 and it was transferred to the next turn point.
Bre901 has got around this for Condor 2 tasks by auto-renaming the turn points should they be identical. I guess it is unlikely to happen in "real life"......

Bug found : In a recent race, I have been unable to input AAT time using version 3.3
It is fixed now, version 3.3.1 is available on the webpage : http://condorutill.fr/index.php |

Thanks for the information.
For the time being, I don't think there is anything similar in Condor coming soon (still waiting for AAT native support in Condor), maybe in a future release ... |

Version 3.4 is now available on the webpage : https://www.condorutill.fr/
New functionalities :
- task related warnings (min/max altitudes, cloud penalties, regatta start)
- LK8000 : .lkt file is now encoded in UTF-8 (TP names with accents used to make the .lkt file unreadable - without an error message, though)
- LK8000 : start & finish heights now defined as AMSL (non-standard "ASL" in the .lkt file)
- XCSoar : max start height = 0 if none
Thanks again to all the beta-testers !

There is a (minor) bug that happens only when Task warnings=0 and produces garbled printouts in the command window (more rarely a crash that prevents the final message from being displayed) but the conversion and transfer are OK.
The bug is fixed, the new executable (V3.4.0.2) is available on the webpage
If you have installed V34 and always use task warnings, re-installing is not indispensable |

CoTaCo now has a GUI, no more text file editing to change the setup !
V4 is available on the webpage : https://condorutill.fr/
Don't even think of asking for help about the GUI if you haven't taken a look a the corresponding section of the manual
Many many thanks to the (way too few) beta-testers

Version 4.1 is available on the webpage
CoTaCo now uses either old or new (default) SeeYou formats for the converted .cup file (option only available in the .ini file).
Not very useful for most people here, I guess
plus a bug fix : CoTaCo might crash if there are many altitude limits (including window-type turnpoints) in the Condor task (don't you love those arcade tasks ...) |

Minor update (especially for VR users using the "wait" mode)
- "Suppress end message" option blocks both task rules and summary messages
- Task rules are written to file if filename is not blank, whatever the "Task Rules warnings" option
- "TP not found" message only displayed in "Verbose" mode
Version 4.1.1 is available from the webpage: https://condorutill.fr/
If you are happy with version 4.1 and are not interested by these features, no need to update.
Many thanks to the beta-tester ! |

Another minor update which might be interesting for SGP competitors
XCSoar & LK8000: the start maximum speed is written in the .tsk file, resp. .lkt
The data is accessible only in the CoTaCo.ini file ("Start max speed")
It will be in the GUI in a later version.
Version 4.1.2 is available from the webpage: https://condorutill.fr/
If you are happy with version 4.1 and are not interested by this feature, no need to update.
Many thanks to the beta-tester who suggested that ! |

An update with some miscellaneous improvements:
- new command line sub-option: -aat:TIME
- choice of manual or automatic start arm, separate options for RT and AAT tasks (XCSoar & LK8000)
- support Finish Min Altitude for competitions with arrival penalties
- Finish Min Altitude and Start Max Speed accessible in the dialog box
- altitude and speed displayed in the dialog box according to unit selection
- Wait mode (Autoload=2 or -wait on the command line) now only deals with the default Condor flight plan file
- optionally create JSON files to be used on cunimb.net (from .fpl or .cup files)
- optionally convert 500m/360° sectors to FAI sectors (when writing .json & .cup files)
- optionally disable max altitudes in .cup files
Possible (but very rare) Condor blue screen workaround:
- Wait mode : an extra 4s delay added after detecting the file update, before reading it
Version 4.2.1 is available from the webpage: https://condorutill.fr/
Many thanks to the beta-tester for testing and suggestions ! |
