What's wrong with the OLC?
At least we can compare world wide.
It is accepted world wide.
They have been working for years on a system and improved it every year.
Of course it is easy to comment and think there are better systems, but
why don't we try to convince the OLC people
to take our/your improvements into consideration?
At least we keep a world wide online comp alive.
Isn't that what we want or?

I'm following the OLC / Skylines discussion on segelflug.de. Max K., the main
force behind the Skyline development is of the opinion that the OLC
organisation is to dictatorial and possesive when it comes to the use of data
they collect, i.e. IGC files. On top of that there are a few rules in the OLC
scoring which don't meet the approval of all, e.g. motorgliders get no penalty
applied eventhough they have a perceived advantage. The developers are also
unhappy that the german decentralised comp is derived from the OLC, similar to
ours and the DAeC pays for that admin too. The whole thing is motivated by a
mix of personality, the genuine drive to do better and some local (german)
issues.
I'm with Pam and Stuart.

I'm with Pam; WHY?????
The wonderful thing about the OLC is that it brings most of us together -
this is why we find it so interesting?
I'm not saying that the guys and gals developing the new site do not have
some innovative ideas - I hope they do
but by diluting the numbers participating erodes what we love about the OLC
- is that what we really want - I doubt it.
Can we see some collaboration?

Why would we need an alternative? I think there is great strength and
interest having worldwide flights in one place.
If you would like to see an alternative system, check out the BGA Ladder in
the UK: http://www.bgaladder.co.uk and click on 'daily scores' for example.
Yesterday, 39 flights in the UK were posted to this site, and only 5 of
those were posted to OLC.
People are regularly doing 750's and the rare 1000, which are incredible
flights given the size of the island, the airspace, and the weather, yet we
see few flights on the OLC so gliding in the UK goes largely unnoticed by
the worldwide gliding community.

Hi;
There is an alternative to the OLC at:
http://skylines.xcsoar.org/
IGC files may be uploaded and scored here. In addition it is planned to
implement a realtime tracking feature in conjunction with XCSoar (v6.4).
Cheers
