Does anyone know how to get circular start gates to work correctly in
WP 9?

I cannot get the arm start/auto start process to work with circular
gates and when I start manually the speed on task is never correct
(starts very high).

Evan,

You mean it is suppose to auto start ;-)? *I have never been able to
get it to work and have nearly given up on Jerry fixing the speed
bug. *You get the same problem on leg speed, but it will at least auto
advance. * I don't think he has a height built into the gate
parameters either so you can't start out of the top either.

I have sent several requests for updates but he seems to be focused on
FLARM and not on making the program work for racing.

The speed issue appears to be that WinPilot is using the distance from
the center of the Start to where you are rather than the 5 mile radius
you started at.

Unfortunately Richard is racing this week to try and prod this, so by
the time I get to Parowan I will still be manually starting and
ignoring my speed for the first 20 miles.

That's the way I see it, also. The hell of it is, it's pretty close
to being a good program. The autostart works fine for fai style
sectors and the auto advance works well for ATs/MATs. It could use
some work in the way it handles MATs and AATs.
