This is all for US contest rules in 2006...

For start cylinder, check "move origin", and uncheck "reduce leg
distance" in Task Properties - Observation Zone Tab. Set Radius 1 to
correct value for task and Angle1 to 180 degrees. Put in max altitude if
applicable, but SeeYou will not check the 2 minute below the start
height rule.

Same OZ setup for a finish cylinder.

In Task Properties - Options set the task type to Assigned Areas task,
even for an assigned speed task. Under task distance calculation pick
use flight fixes.

Under Tools-Options-General under distance calculation, you need to
select "using FAI spheroid (CIVL)".

Works for all the Turf 06 tasks I looked at in SeeYou within a couple
hundredths of a mile.

Dave,

I put all those settings in exactly as you described but I still get
different answers:

Official contest result, day 1: 219.88 miles, 81.59 mph. (No
penalties)
SeeYou result: 222.4 miles, 82.53 mph.

The IGC file is 65tC40R1.igc, it can be downloaded at the SSA contest
results page.

My SeeYou version is 3.61 ...
