Hey Mike
I don't have a lot of SeeYou experience and I had a really hard time
creating a task with a waypoint sector like that... Could you guide me
through it so I can check what the problem with SeeYou is in this case?!
Actually I think that SeeYou might be "wrong" in this case... If I have
a sector from 90deg to 120deg, I would expect it to be on the south east
and not on the other side...
To be honest I remember myself flying one or two competitions where
SeeYou was used and I never had any problems with the way these sectors
were given on the task sheet. Have you verified that 5.2.x also has the
same behavior than 6.0?!

Hi Tobias
Attached is a jpeg showing a SeeYou task with the sector at DNG using
the parameters I gave. The horizontal boundary running east - west is
the line with bearing 90 degrees, whereas it would be 270 degrees in
XCS. i.e. if you were on the line the bearing To the turn point would
be 90 degrees but you are 270 degrees FROM the turnpoint.

Hi Mike
We are working on the problem with the second radius...
As for the bearing problem you described, I can't reproduce it. The
bearings of the sectors are usually based on north and turn clockwise.
Not sure what you mean by TO and FROM, because the bearings are not
depending on the direction of the next/prev turnpoint. I've tried it
with your example and it showed exactly the north-west sector...

Hi Rob,
I like the idea of having default types of start points, turn points
and finish points but I think you need to give the user complete
flexibility to set these rather than forcing them to use e.g. "BGA
Fixed Course sector". I like the way SeeYou does it using a Direction
(Fixed value, Symetrical, To Next Point, To Previous Point, To Start
Point), two radii and 2 angles.
I note in V6.0 that when the task type is AAT that an Area Sector
type turn point only has a single radius but here in the UK they are
sometimes set with 2. SeeYou also defines the bearings TO the turn
point, not from it like XCSoar. A task sheet might say something like
"Rmin=3281ft, Rmax=6.0km, Brg1=235°, Brg2=90" which defines a sector
north west of a turn point. (I have no idea why it mixes ft and km
for the units!). If XCSoar used the same convention it would save
having to add/subtract 180 degrees from the numbers on the task sheet.
Great work from all involved in V6.0. Now I just need some hardware I
can see in bright sunlight.

I created an interactive mockup of the task manager for 6.1.
It does three things differently from 6.0:
1) You create a new task by simply adding turnpoints. When you're
done, it tells you what kind of task you've made -- you don't have to
specify anything before building the task.
2) New configuration page (a la version 5.2.4) where you define your
default turnpoint, start, and finish types.
3) New "Nationality" option in the configuration, so the turnpoint
types used by your country are presented first when you edit a
turnpoint (e.g. British Gliding Association "Fixed Sector").
Thoughts?
