Hi Curt, thank you very much for this great event. Unfortunately my hardware forced me to be a spectator (due to thermal problems my notebook throttles down after some minutes of flightgear; I need to clean the cooling system again. And I am thinking about buying a new computer).
What could help us with such competitions would be an client, which assists in the time-recording. Like a state machine, which responds on chat-messages and has a state for every mp-aircraft. With a chat message like "competition" the state of a mp-player changes to a new state, which checks for "groundspeed < 1 kts". The next state could be "groundspeed > 10 kts" (with time stamp). The next state could be "groundspeed < 1 kts", with reporting of the difference to the last time stamp. This can be enhanced witch checks for positions, additional messages, checks for aircraft-type, checks for plausibility of speed and acceleration, checks for orientation, additional scoring (penalties), included web-server with "best of day, best of week, best of ever" grouped by aircraft. All this for several competitions, activated by different chat-messages of the competitor. With such a system the todays events could be rated very easy. And events like the red bull racing or reno air racing could be possible. Anyone interested in coding such a client? And I like Hans idea of Fly Ins (with basic ATC?) (and with sight seeing tours...)
