The Live Tracking software works really well, with pictures of the
pilots and course / speed information

Really nice job

Dang - it is working too well! I won't get any work done this morning!

Its got some problems with tagging gliders on the map. At one point I
could see four widely separated Standard Class gliders all with an FL
tag.

One was AA (Kevin Kaer Andersen) while he was flying back home. This was
an obvious mistake because hovering the mouse over one of the FL icons on
the map lit up his AA entry on the pilots list. Since landing, his map
icon has changed to AA.

So, will be a very nice tracking system once testing is finished and the
bugs squashed.
