Default OLC, ENL, Start of soaring flight

I'd like to hear from people who submit logs to OLC using a recorder
that has no ENL (Engine Noise Level) capability and produces a log
with no ENL data.

Does OLC automatically determine the start of soaring flight, or do
you always have to set it manually? If OLC does it automatically, how
often does it get tow release point correct (close enough that you
don't have to revise the time to get credit for full flight distance)?

Reason for the question is that I fly a pure glider and quite often my
tow release is many miles in error as my ENL is high due to open nose
vent. (CAI 302, ASW28)

thanks
