OLC Gen 2 Question

Thanks Paul!

I had previously managed to navigate to the page you
describe here, but didn't know about the button to
take me back to the OLC 2006 flights. Since I was
in the new webpage and had the October calendar selected,
I was expecting it to allow me to go back to Monday,
9 OCT 06, even though that was in OLC 2006. I wanted
to see what a flight would look like on the new page.

Hurry up and wait!

Thanks,
Ray

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'.

There is a login window now. Is it required by OLC
to create yet another login name and password? What's
the purpose for this?

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.
