Default OLC Gen 2 Question

Hi,

I think it is OK, but it will taking some getting used to. You can't see
dates before October 11th because that is the 1st day of the contest.

To get to the USA results:
- go to www.onlinecontest.org
- to view the web site in English - select the British flag (near the top
left of the screen)
- Click the "Gliding" tab
- Under the gliding tab is a row of menus. The left menu is has a drop
down arrow and is probably defaulted to "Worldwide". Open the list by
clicking on the down arrow and select "United States of America" from the
bottom of the menu - as long as it is not off the bottom of your screen...

Note: Everyone must re-register for 2007. To do that:
- If it is not already selected, select the "Gliding" tab.
- Click on "Anmeldung" (they need to update that to an English word) and a
menu will appear.
- Click on "Contest Registration"

To go back and view flights and results from 2006
- If it is not already selected, select the "Gliding" tab.
- Click on "Scoring" to open the scoring menu and select "OLC-2006".

I can't find any flights in the US. I tried, using
the drop down calendar, to go back to yesterday and
other days prior to today, but can't get anywhere.

Not only was I just navigating around in the new OLC,
I wanted to see if any flights had been posted from
the Region 4 North race.

It's frustrating that there is no information of the
race on the SSA webpage and it's frustrating that I
can't find any flight log on OLC. None in the US.

Am I just lost in the new Gen 2? If so, send a map!

Ray,

I'm lost with you, and I speak passable German! The new UI is
completely and utterly non-intuitive; I have no clue how to find the
US results. I'm sure it's something that will work itself out over
time, but right now it seems like we've confused flashier graphics with
usability. If anyone can find a quick way to get to the day's flights
for the US, please let me know.
