Hi all, and happy new year, I arrive a little "after the battle", so I couldn't participate to this event, but anyway I really wish to see more and more events using mp. Each month a part of the the French community takes place to fly with each other around remodelled terrains and sceneries sitting in France. The first sunday of each month (next one the 6th of january), indeed. For sure this time and place is almost only French speaking as some of us have troubles with Sheakespeare's native language :D but surely it has absolutely no "restrictions" and everyone is welcome.
Moreover I wanted to talk about an special event type : rallyes. Indeed, the rules are quite simple: you have to follow a route, as best as you can, not only the fastest as possible, but in an certain amount of time (depending of aircraft you use). I wrote a little script in perl intented to be the contest director, and to count bonus and malus (given in seconds). Creating a route, and the rules (scale, check points, duration, etc.) is rather simple and made by a conf file. I have some routes (created by Pierre Geoffroy), but haven't taken the time to create the rallye, btw if someone is interested in managing such an event, here is the script: http://seb.marque.free.fr/fichiers/flightgear/check_logs (perl) and here a conf example: http://seb.marque.free.fr/fichiers/flightgear/waypoints it is feeded by the fgms log files. hope someone will find this interesting enough to continue what I haven't succeeded in, by a lack of time (most common excuse I know ;)). best regards seb ps: I have to modify a little bit the script in order to allow entering the beginning and ending date of the event in the conf file. If you've got questions about the script I'll be very pleased to answer as quick as I can. Stuart Buchanan a écrit : > --- Hans Fugal wrote: >> Sounds like fun was had by all.
