Live Tasks
Anybody can use LeonardoLive to setup Live Tasks. A LiveTask does not need to be a task inside a Competition event, it can be used by a group of pilots to setup a friendly fly-in with a competitive touch thrown in for fun.
What is a LiveTask
Is a good way to display simultaneously a big number of LiveTracks, either as list or in Graphic mode in Google Maps and Google Earth.
However it goes far beyond this and offers RealTime auto-scoring. The pilot can submit his LiveTrack and the server scores it right away and refreshes a temporary result list
Features of LiveTask
- As in usual LiveTracking, the viewer can enjoy really frequent updates of even down to 10 secs.
- The turnpoints of the Task with their radius are displayed in the Graphical views of Google Earth and Google Maps, making it easy for viewers to follow the task.
- Automatic upload of tracks to the server and auto-scoring. This means temporary live results are available as soon as pilots land and submit their track or end of flight signal
- The autoscoring can be done based on Task definition from an FSDB file OR by using an auto-optimization method of best 3 turnpoints. This means that unofficial LiveTasks among friends can be setup in no time.
- Ability for the system to send an SMS to the retrieve officer when a pilot lands. Although this person can track all pilots from a PC , i have noticed in our last comp, that the retrieve officer was used to the old methods of a map / radio and SMS messages from the pilots
So now you will be wondering: How to Setup a Competition Task
