Default Mangling of U.S. Contest Flight Logs?

If you want a change made document it and submit it to the rules committee prior to October of each year.

The WIINSCORE Users Manual for 2011 can be found here http://www.gfbyars.com/winscore/Winscore%20User's%20Guide.pdf

Go to page 40 for the guidelines in the manual for uploading IGC files. Here is a paragraph from that section

Minimum time between fixes - Typically, flight data recorders save a fix at 4
second intervals. However, if the .zip file contained every fix that each pilot
made for the entire day, the .zip would be too large to send efficiently.
Therefore, the scorer can set a new time interval that is used to create the .zip. If the time interval entered here is larger than what the pilot used during his flight, then some of his fixes will be ignored when his flight is put into the .zip. Using a short interval will give more detail to the Internet viewer, but will increase the .zip size and using a longer interval will give less detail to the internet viewer, but will decrease the .zip size. Testing has show that a 15 second interval to be a good tradeoff between resolution and file size.

Whining on RAS does not necessarily get things changed, in my experience.

I don't think that language requires the scorer to use a longer time
interval. The language is "the scorer can set a new time interval". So
I don't see why you would go to the rules committee.

Default Mangling of U.S. Contest Flight Logs?

I just installed the 2012 version of WINSCORE.

The defaults I found for Flight Log Transfer a

Condense IGC files - OFF

If I activated 'Condense IGC Files' then the default value for minimum time between fixes is 4 and the 'Include only the top contestants' value was 15

FWIW
