Hi all
I have written a task converter for Condor flight plans which creates
XCSoar .tsk files:
https://condorutill.pagesperso-orange.fr/index.html#CoTaCo
As many Condor task-setters appreciate to set altitude limits on start-,
finish- and turn-points, the converter adds these altitude limits at the
end of the turn-point name: e.g. Megeve[0-25] (maximum start and minimum
finish altitudes are always written to the .tsk file header)
This works most of the time, however I have noticed that, especially for
the start line, these are not always taken into account (I am aware that
by default XCSoar truncates the name to 5 characters and I have made it
display the whole TP name)
Apparently, this happens when the start point coincides with a
turn-point or airfield that is already known by XCSoar, i.e. referenced
in either the .xcm or .cup file, in which case the "database" name is
used and not the one in the .tsk file
I have tried different workarounds (setting explicit ID #, etc), but to
no avail.
Is there a way to force XCSoar to keep the TP name that has been read in
the .tsk file ?
If not, that feature would be greatly appreciated in future releases
Best regards
Marc Till (aka Bre901)
