1 Introduction

1.1

What is SeeYou

SeeYou is flight analysis and planning software.

It combines powerful features with intuitive interface. Comprehensive statistics, free vector maps, direct communication with flight recorders and numerous other functions which make SeeYou an essential tool for glider pilots and competition organizers.

1.2

System requirements

Basic requirements are simple:

. 486 computer @ 66Mhz

. Windows 95/98/Me, NT 4, 2000 or XP

. 8MB RAM

. 10MB free disk space

If you are going to run 3D, these are our recommendations:

. Pentium MMX @ 400MHz

. Windows 95/98/Me, NT 4, 2000 or XP

. 64MB RAM (128 for Win 2000 and XP)

. 3-D Hardware Accelerator with full OpenGL support and at least 8MB RAM

. 200 MB for vector maps

It will only take 5MB of Your disk space, if you are going to run vector maps from CD-ROM, or if You choose not to use vector maps at all. Using vector and raster maps will increase the need for your disk space. Vector maps for Europe require 120MB of disk space.

Performance of the 3D view largely depends on your graphic card performance, its drivers and processor capacity. You will need a Video Card that supports OpenGL functions. SeeYou has been tested on many, but not all of the major cards on the market today. Any feedback is appreciated.

1.3

Installing and uninstalling

After downloading from http://www.naviter.com/

2.1

Setting up the Maps

Setting up the Maps is one of the key things you need to do before you can start using SeeYou effectively. By Maps we mean both Vector and Raster maps.

Vector maps

Vector maps are free with SeeYou and they cover the whole globe. There is no need to download them.

They will stream to you as you browse the globe.

The advantage of the Vector maps is that they are clear at any Zoom level. Only the required level of detail will be displayed. They also carry altitude information for AGL computation and the

3D landscape

25 rendering.

Raster maps

They provide special detail, not covered in Vector maps. You may calibrate any picutre or scanned image as long as it is in Geographic projection. SeeYou features a proprietary CMR format which enables you to share your maps easily with others.

A selection of Satellite images and Topographic maps are available from our website: http://www.naviter.com

Use Satellite images for stunning 3D view while Topo maps will be a great help in planning flights in remote and unknown areas.

Selecting layers

You won't always want to have both Vector and Raster maps displayed. A shortcut was placed in the bottom left corner of the SeeYou window to let you switch between the correct layers quickly.

W turns Waypoints on and off.

A turns Airspace on and off.

V turns Vector maps on and off.

R turns Raster maps on and off.

Note that layers selection is separate in 3D and 2D view because you will normally want to use Satellite images in 3D view while you will want to plan flights without them.

Managing waypoints

Waypoints are probably as essential as Maps in SeeYou.

You will tipically want to use the same Waypoints in SeeYou and in the cockpit. This will help you get fammiliar with the waypoints you are using and will give you an overview of what you will see in cockpit.

This is even more true when using SeeYou Mobile in the cockpit.

© 1995 - 2012 ... Naviter d.o.o.

Getting started 7

To Open Waypoints

46 all you need to do is File > Open and browse to find the waypoints you are used to using. They may be in virtually any format known to soaring. You may also

Import Waypoints

64 from a database provided by Michael Lorenz Meier. It contains most if not all of the Airfields near you.

Once you have the Waypoints loaded you will of course want to change

62

, add

63 and

delete

63 them.

You can do that in either Map or list view of the Waypoint window.

Managing multiple Waypoint databases

You may want to have a separate waypoint database for your home airfileld and places you will go soaring.

One thing you should know is that the waypoints that are opened by SeeYou when it starts are stored in the Points.CUP file located in the same folder where SeeYou is installed. Changes you make to the waypoints while running SeeYou are stored back to Points.CUP when you exit SeeYou.

The best way to manage multiple Waypoint databases is to store each one in a separate CUP (SeeYou

Waypoint format) file.

1. After you have designed a database for a particular site (e.g. Lesce-Bled),

save

48 it under LesceBled.

cup

2. Create a new database for Gariep Dam for example.

Save

48 these points under GariepDam.cup

When you want to manage the Waypoint from Lesce-Bled again, simply

File->Open

46 the LesceBled.cup

file and do not append waypoints to the database. This way, your old waypoints are deleted, only new ones remain in the software.

Viewing a flight

Viewing flights is one of the main reasons you will want to use SeeYou in the first place.

What you need is IGC flight files stored somewhere on the disk. Once you know where they are, you may go to

File > Open

46 , use the standard Windows graphics interface to select a flight file you would like to open.

Once the Flight file is read, it is automatically opened in 2D view. By using the View menu or icons in the toolbar, you may change the view to either

Route

24

, 3D

25

,

Graph

26

or Statistics

28

. To enhance the experience, you may turn on

Flight parameters

72

and the Legend

73

. They will tell you more about the flight through a simple set of numbers and bars.

To move the glider along the track use the

Arrow keys

116

and

Animation buttons

112

. They will allow you to position the glider symbol anywhere on the flight to examin flight parameters at any given time of the flight. To further enhance the viewing experience, use the

Desktops

.

Picture above shows an example of a flight window with multiple flights over vector maps, with flight parameters and legend, undocked Animation toolbar and mouse-right click menu.

Viewing multiple flights

Viewing flights is by no means limited to viewing a single flight. Simultaneously you may load as many flights as you wish and then compare the routes different pilots took on a given day. More and more competition organizers are publishing tracks on their websites. There is no better way to learn than to compare your flights to the flights of the other competitors.

Once you have the flights you need, you may use one of the methods to open them simultaneously.

. Drag and drop several flight files from Windows Explorer to the SeeYou window

. Use the

File > Open

46 dialog, select several flight files and click open

. Add flights to existing flights in a Flight window through Edit > Add Flight

Once you have them open you may assign the same task to everyone through

Edit > Assign Task

60 dialog. You will need to have created a

Task

15 everyone was flying beforehand. The one thing you will want to do with the open flights is to animate the flight tracks. By simply pressing the Play button you will get a real-time replay of what was going on in the air. There is however more to the story. You may also create a maggot race where everyone starts at the same time and do some other interesting comparisons this way. Please read more about

Animating flights

Animating flights

Animating multiple flights must be one of the most entertaining things you will be doing with SeeYou.

By default the Play button will start to animate flights in real time. That is, positions of the gliders will be the same as they were in real flights. You can see who was following whom and where the other competitors were when you had that stonking lift.

That is however not the only way to look at a day of flying. You may wish to organize a Maggot race where everyone starts at the same time. In an animation like that you can clearly see who was in the front at each moment of the race. Some preparation is neccessary:

1. You need to

Create the task

15 everyone was flying

2. You need to select

Animate > Synchronization > Start time

82 . The list below the selection box should give you the start times of everyone you are animating.

3. Press the Play button and everyone will leave the start line at the same time.

Using the 3D view

Viewing flights in 3D view is one of the most spectacular features in SeeYou. Make sure you have the

Terrain and Satellite imagery

6 loaded for your area before you can understand why this is one of

SeeYou's most spectacular features.

All you need to do is

Open a flight

46 and change the view to 3D through Edit > 3D view or by pressing the icon. Allow some time for the 3D view to build up.

Once you have the window that resembles the image above, you may use the mouse or keyboard to change the perspective. With these mouse gestures you may be the ultimate cameramen for you and your friends:

. Press the left mouse button and move the mouse - this will change perspective

. Press the right mouse button and move the mouse up or down - this will zoom the viewing point in and out

. Press both mouse buttons simultaneously and move the mouse left or right to change the animation speed

. Ctrl + F7 will put you in and out of a view mode relative to the glider

If you prefer to use the keyboard over the mouse:

. Up and Down arrows will Zoom the viewpoint in and out

. Press Shift together with Left or Right arrow to rotate the view horizontally

. Press Shift together with Up or Down arrows to rotate the view vertically

Picture Gallery in SeeYou

In version 4.2 a very nice feature was added in SeeYou - the ability to link photographs to your flight and create a stunning slideshow.

Adding pictures is a lot of fun even if you are not planning to show them to friends. Do you have lots of pictures from your flights and you have lots of IGC files? Try dropping the pictures on your flight opened in SeeYou. If the camera time and UTC offset in SeeYou are in sync your pictures will automatically be located where you took them (if they are not you can easily offset the pictures so that they will fit the flight).

How to attach photos from your flight to your IGC files

First the prerequisites for the automatics to work well:

1. Make sure that in SeeYou > Tools > Options > UTC offset matches the UTC offset of your flight

2. Hopefully your camera date and time and/or time zone was set correctly when you took the pictures

(make sure this is true for all your future pictures)

If these conditions are met then you can add photos by

1. Opening your IGC file in SeeYou

2. Drag & Drop the pictures from Windows Explorer to the SeeYou flight window or

2. Right click on the flight then Photos > Attach from File or Attach from Folder

© 1995 - 2012 ... Naviter d.o.o.

14 SeeYou Help or

2. Edit > Flight properties > Photos > to add files or to add a all pictures from a folder

That's all really if the UTC offset and camera time were correct.

Manipulating the Photo panel

By clicking on a picture in the photo panel that picture becomes the active one and the glider position moves to the position where the picture has been taken.

Double clicking on the picture will open it in your default picture viewer in full size.

Rolling the mouse scroll wheel when hovered over the Photo panel will change the active photo (and consecutively will move the glider position).

During the animation of a flight (Animate > Play) only the location of the active picture is presented with a photo icon on the map. As animation passes the next photo the Photo panel moves and active photo icon changes.

You may

resize and dock the Photo panel

35 just as any other panel. You may even move it to your second monitor if you wish.

Advanced options

As it happens the camera time or UTC offset in SeeYou will often be out of sync. This is not a problem but you do have to tell SeeYou when exactly the photos were taken in order for them to be displayed at the correct location. Go to Edit > Flight Properties > Photos > tick "Advanced settings". You can now set camera time offset in seconds (an hour has 3600 seconds, two hours 7200 etc). Caption below the offset time edit box will help you determine exactly how many hours minutes and seconds you have setup. You can even correct for days if the date on your camera was incorrect.

Please note: pictures taken before the takeoff will be attached to the first few fixes in the file. Pictures taken after landing will be attached to the last fixes of the IGC file. It makes a great impression to have a picture of the glider, airport or the people who have helped you get started as the first picture in your

IGC file.

Conveniently share with friends or on your blog in IGCX format

Once you have added all the pictures that you wanted to attach to the IGC file you may save the IGC file with File > Save. Links to full resolution pictures on your hard drive will be added to the IGC file without loosing the IGC file integrity. This is great for viewing the files on your one and only computer.

But if you want to send your flight with pictures to a friend or even only open it on your other computer you whold have to send the pictures and preserve folder structure. Since that would be a pain and mostly

© 1995 - 2012 ... Naviter d.o.o.

Getting started 15 wouldn't work you can now save your flight in a proprietary IGCX format. You can save a file in IGCX format by going to File > Save As > Save as type > IGCX Format File. After you choose the location and file name you get to choose the size of the pictures. The size you choose depends on how you are going to share the IGCX file. If you are going to email it try to keep the complete file size less than 5 MB.

Have fun adding pictures to your old flights!

Planning a badge and record flight

Planning flights is important for everyone who is trying to maximize the weather conditions. SeeYou offers you a graphical tool to setup tasks.

Task with preset waypoints

1. To start planning flights, open the Tasks window

2. Select View > Map from the main menu or click on the icon to change view

3. To create a new task choose

Edit > Add Task

65 or the icon

4. Click on the Start point, 1st Point, 2nd Point of your task in correct sequence.

5. Finish adding waypoints by pressing ESC button once.

That's all. You have created a new task.

Task without preset Waypoints

To create a task where its waypoints are not in the Waypoints database, press and hold the Shift key.

Each click will create a new waypoint. New waypoints will have a name such as _Point_123. You can change the name and other properties of this point by clicking the mouse right button over it and

Planning FAI Triangles

FAI Triangles are considered Formula 1 in Cross Country soaring for many. You may be triangle specialist or novice. You will always need help with defining FAI triangle waypoints.

© 1995 - 2012 ... Naviter d.o.o.

16 SeeYou Help

There is no easy way to plan an FAI Triangle. It takes time and preparation. Mountain ranges will have to be crossed and airspace avoided. Lots of terrain will be covered with many different types of weather.

Thorough local and weather knowledge is required to plan for the largest of triangles. SeeYou tries to make flight planning as easy as possible.

First you need to create a task that roughly resembles what you are going to fly. Define your waypoints by clicking on them in Map view or entering them manually in List view (see

Planning a badge and record flight

15 for more on this subject). Then switch to View > Map mode.

Turn the FAI Triangle Assistant on by selecting View > Show FAI Area (Ctrl + E). Press Ctrl+R (View >

Rotate FAI Area) to Rotate the Area over Task legs. Press Ctrl+R several times to see what it is doing.

Once you have it located over the turnpoint you are trying to optimize, stop pressing Ctrl+R. Click on the

Waypoint and drag it into place. When it is inside the FAI Area, the Task has a shape of an FAI Triangle.

As noted above - there is no quick way to create an optimum FAI Triangle. You have the tools, now you need to use your imagination and experience to minimize the difficulty of rounding the Turnpoints.

Planning Assigned Area tasks

Assigned Area tasks are growing increasingly popular with Competition organizers. They test imagination and forecasting ability of the competing pilots. They also offer safety in terms of being able to avoid a difficult to predict bad weather areas.

In Assigned Area tasks, pilots must pass pre-declared areas in a given order. The fixes that produce longest distance (one from each area) become actual waypoints used for distance and speed computations.

Downloading flights

SeeYou can communicate with an increasing number of flight recorders. The Connection Wizard dialog allows you to connect to several types of loggers through a uniform user interface. For the getting started tutorial it would probably be best if we tell you how to do it on a specific device.

Example of communication with a Colibri

Colibri is a famous FAI approved logger from LX Navigation. It is well known in gliding as well as paragliding and hanggliding. It will therefore feature as an example of how communication goes with

SeeYou.

Working with SeeYou Mobile

Mobile Wizard connects SeeYou with SeeYou mobile to send files to the Pocket PC. Mobile wizard never expires. That means you don't have to have a registered version of SeeYou to transfer all of the required data to the Pocket PC.

1. Connect your Pocket PC to PC through Active Sync

2. Run SeeYou

3. Go to File > Mobile Wizard

First page allows you to select the Items you wish to transfer to the device. You can choose from

. Terrain (isolines)

© 1995 - 2012 ... Naviter d.o.o.

Getting started 19

. Terrain elevations (for AGL reading)

. Roads, Railroads, Rivers, Lakes and Towns

. Waypoints and tasks

. Airspace

. Settings (Vector map color scheme, units, triangle properties, default observation zones)

Second page gives you the possibility to select basename and destination for the data you have selected to upload on the first page.

. Files that are created on the Pocket PC (or disk) will have the same name as Basename and respective extensions CUB for airspace, CIT for vector maps and CUP for waypoints and tasks.

. Destination can be either Oudie, a folder in "My Computer" or a device connected through Active Sync.

Choose what you need with the radio buttons.

Third page asks you to draw a rectangle for the area you want to transfer to the Pocket PC.

Use Ctrl+Up, Ctrl+Down to zoom out and zoom in. Click on the the borders of the map to move horizontally and vertically. This is the same procedure as in the othe r Map views in SeeYou.

Note that if the maps for this area have not been downloaded yet you will be prompted to download the maps before proceeding.

Fourth page shows progress in transferring or saving files.

Once the transfer has completed successfully, you may close Mobile wizard with the Finish button.

If you get a connection error, first check whether or not SeeYou Mobile was closed on the Pocket PC. It is important to understand the difference between the "X" button in Pocket PC and "X" button in desktop

Windows. The "X" on Pocket PC works more like "minimize" in Windows. To really quit SeeYou Mobile you need to go to Menu > Next > "Exit".

You know SeeYou Mobile is not running when it is not listed under Start > Settings > System > Memory

> Running programs. If it's there, stop it.

Then you will be able to communicate with SeeYou Mobile through Mobile Wizard.

Task and Selection pages.

The data is structured into the

General section

Circling table

Straight flight table

Bar graphs and Histograms

General section for the specified section (this is the only section not included in Flight statistics of the

Flight page) contains information about: flown distance on the task or leg, start and finish time of the section, duration achieved speed for this section.

XC speed is the speed that would have been achieved if the pilot had climbed back to the start altitude

© 1995 - 2012 ... Naviter d.o.o.

Main SeeYou Windows 31 with the average lift. If the finish altitude is lower than the start altitude, then XC speed is lower than plain speed because time to climb back to the start altitude needs to be added to the time spent on task.

If finish altitude is higher than the start altitude, then the time spent to climb above the start altitude is subtracted, thus XC speed is higher than speed. Start and finish are always referred to the start and finish of the portion of the flight to which the statistics you are looking at at the moment is referring to.

Maximum altitude gained

This row lists the altitude gained according to FAI badge and world record rules. Details on low and high point are listed as well.

Example for altitude gain line:

Circling table

The data is divided into rows for o

Total circling o Circling to the left o Circling to the right o Tries(<'min time' is entered in the Options dialog)

The columns represent o Time spent in the specified form of circling (percents in the brackets) o Average vertical speed achieved o Altitude gained o

Altitude lost - this is all the meters lost while circling

Note that average Vario is calculated as (Altitude gained + altitude lost)/(Time spent)

Example for circling statistics:

Straight table with the values for o Time spent flying straight o

Distance done is the distance covered including all turns and deviations (sum of the distances between fixes) o

Altitude gained while flying straight o Altitude lost while flying straight o Average GroundSpeed (Distance done divided by the time spent) o Average indicated airspeed (IAS) to see how fast the pilot was pushing the glider o Mean L/D is the average rate of descent or gained if negative (Distance done divided by the sum of altitude gained and lost)

Flight Phase statistics

On this page you can explore flight parameter values for each flight phase by ordering them on any column.

Sorting flight phases

By clicking on header of any column the data is sorted on this column. If values in the primary sorting colum are repeated, then previous selection is used to determine how data is sorted within the repeated value.

Example 1:

1.

Sort phases on 'Begin' column

2.

Sort phases on 'Phase' column

Circling and Straight phases are separated. Phases within Circling and Straight are sorted on ascending time. This means that in AVario column you have a chronological list of thermals used.

Example 2:

1.

Sort phases on 'End Alt.' column

2.

Sort phases on 'Phase' column

Circling and Straight phases are again separated. Phases within Circling and Straight are sorted on descending End Alt value.

Right click on the column section allows you to select:

. ascending sort order

. desending sort order

. which colums are visible

Using Flight phases in desktop

A great way to analyze your flight is to open a desktop with Flight phase statistics and (at least) a route window.

Double click or 'Enter' on a specific flight phase will move the glider symbol to the middle of that phase.

Copying phase statistics for further evaluation

You may select any number of lines from phase statistics and copy them by Ctrl+C to clipboard. You may paste them to Excel for example by Ctrl+V and do any further analisys you can think of there.

Saving pictures

By selecting BMP or JPG File type you can save a custom size and quality screen shot of the flight.

This is paricularly useful for web representation (small pictures) and high quality printouts (large pictures)

1. Open a flight

2. Make changes to the flight

3. Select File > Save from main menu or click the icon or Click Ctrl+S

4. Select new filename

5. Select the type

6. Click Save button

Note that saving a flight does not affect the security signature of the flight. It remains OK even if a flight was saved through SeeYou. This is true if you are using SeeYou 2.8 or later. It is not true for earlier versions.

Saving flight with pictures in IGCX format

Once you have added pictures to the IGC file you may save the IGC file with File > Save. Links to full resolution pictures on your hard drive will be added to the IGC file without loosing the IGC file integrity.

This is great for viewing the files on your one and only computer.

But if you want to send your flight with pictures to a friend or even only open it on your other computer you whold have to send the pictures and preserve folder structure. Since that would be a pain and mostly wouldn't work you can now save your flight in a proprietary IGCX format. You can save a file in IGCX format by going to File > Save As > Save as type > IGCX Format File. After you choose the location and file name you get to choose the size of the pictures. The size you choose depends on how you are going to share the IGCX file. If you are going to email it try to keep the complete file size less than 5 MB.

4.2.3.8.1 Observation Zones

Use this dialog when planning Assigned Area tasks. It enables you to create a custom observation zone for each waypoint. An observation zone can be determined by setting parameters of two arbitrary arcs.

You can access this dialog by choosing Edit->Task Properties->Observation Zones tab or by using mouse right-click over an observation zone in map view. The picture will let you see what you are doing.

To change an observation zone do the following:

1.

Select a waypoint you wish to edit

2.

Choose the Direction from which angles are calculated. You can choose from:

Fixed value

Symmetrical

To Next Point

To Previous Point

To Start Point

3.

If you have chosen Fixed value you can enter the desired main direction in Angle12 field. This value represents the bearing of the bisector of the observation zone.

4.

Set Radius1, Angle1, Radius2, Angle2 to set the two arbitrary arcs. Look at changes in the picture for what's hapenning.

4.2.3.8.2 Options

Use this dialog to determine how results and statistics is calculated.

Select Edit->Task Properties from the main menu to open this dialog.

Description:

This will replace the automatically assigned description for the Task in the Tasks window.

Type:

You can choose from three predefined Task Types:

. Assigned Speed Task (AST) is a classical Task with waypoints that need to be flown in designated order.

. Distance Task with Assigned Areas (TDT/AA and DST/AA) is a task where competitors have to enter each Assigned Area in predefined order. One fix in each observation zone is used for calculating maximum flown distance.

. Distance Task with Turn Points (TDT/TP and DST/TP) is a so called Cat's Craddle task, where pilot chooses which point he is going to turn next in the air.

No start before:

This is the opening time of the start gate in competition.

Task time:

Format of this field is HH:MM:SS (hours:minutes:seconds). If this value is not set to zero , then the calculation assumes that a minimum task time has been set for this task. If task time is shorter than this minimum task time then the speed is calculated by dividing task distance with task time rather than time actually spent on task.

Task distance calculation

. use waypoints: if this option is checked, then distance between reached waypoints will be used to determine the length of the task flown.

. use flight fixes: if this option is checked, then one fix in each observation zone will be used to calculate distance flown so, that the result will be maximum distance flown.

Random order of waypoints

This option is used for Cat's Craddle tasks (TDT/TP, DST/TP). This option can only be used with "use waypoints" type of distance calculation.

. Maximum number of waypoints that pilot can use. This value includes start and finish waypoints.

. Fixed number of waypoints at beginning 1 - start only, 2 - first waypoint after start is mandatory.

. Fixed number of waypoints at end 1 - finish only, 2 - last waypoint is mandatory before finishing.

Note: If mandatory waypoints can be used in flight as well, they have to be declared twice.

. Bonus for finish value is self explanatory

Uncompleted leg

With this option you can choose how distance from last waypoint is calculated for outlanded pilots.

. calculate minimum distance to next observation zone from point of landing or virtual outlanding

(used for TDT/AA and DST/AA tasks)

. calculate maximum distance from last observation zone (used for TDT/TP and DST/TP tasks)

Allow missed zones

SeeYou has a "missed zone buffer" horizontally and vertically. If the flight passes misses an area for less than the values entered in these boxes, a warning is issued. If both values are 0, missed zones are not allowed.

CMR maps are the easiest way to use and share raster maps. CMR format stores calibration information, so all you need to do is

File > Open

46 the CMR raster map and the process is finished. The same goes for sharing them. Send a CMR map (or a CD with CMR maps) to a friend. All he has to do is File > Open them with SeeYou. Satellite images for many parts of the World in CMR format can be downloaded from our web pages.

Raster maps come in many shapes and scales. In order to get the best out of viewing them, you may select groups for loaded maps. Select several maps from the Raster Maps dialog, then change the Map

group value for all of them. If you want to quickly turn one group on or off, simply right click the "R" button in the lower left corner of the SeeYou window and select/deselect the ones that apply.

CMR SeeYou Raster Maps

CMR maps are the easiest way to use and share raster maps. CMR format stores calibration information, so all you need to do is

File > Open

46 the CMR raster map and the process is finished. The same goes for sharing them. Send a CMR map (or a CD with CMR maps) to a friend. All he has to do is File > Open them with SeeYou.

Calibrating JPG and BMP raster maps

As a prerequisite you must have a picture of a map in a bmp or jpg format. The map on the picture must have North facing up. It is our reccomendation to cut it into tiles of maximally 1x1 degree latitude and longitude.

Colors

It is possible to store color schemes you created in a color scheme for later use. Some color schemes are preselected:

. Mountain landscape

. Low land landscape

. Optimized for PDA

By selecting a height layer from the Legend and clicking on the Shift up button you can move the color scheme up. If you wish to do more advanced changes, see the "Creating your own height color scheme" lower in this chapter.

Options

There are four different possibilities for presenting the Vector maps:

1.

None - do not show Vector Maps at all

2.

Lines only - show lines connecting the same altitude only.

3.

Filled Contours - The areas between the lines are filled, lines are not shown

4.

Filled Contours and Grey Lines is a combination of 2. and 3.

You may choose to change the default values also for the Topographical features of the map (like rivers, lakes, towns etc.). Select the desired feature from the Selected Layer drop down list and change the default color, change the visibility slider and width of the feature.

Shade terrain feature puts shades on one side of the slopes and light on the other thus making the 2D view much more plastic.

Shadow direction defines the direction from which the sun is shining on the maps thus creating shadows on the other side of the mountain.

Pilots

Pilot list is useful in many ways like submitting flights to OLC, uploading flight declaration, SeeYou

Competition to loggers etc.

Through Tools->Pilots->Add you can add a pilot to the list manually. You many enter any of the fields:

Given name

Name (family name)

Coutry/Club

Birth date

Glider type

Glider registration

Competition ID

Competition class

Index (handicap) of a glider

Checkbox if a glider has engine or not

Unique identifier of a flight recorder

Pilots are also added automatically after submitting flights to OLC or uploading to flight declaration to loggers.

The essential thing about setting up pilots in competition is linking Pilot's name to IGC flight file. The linking bit is the four letter code following the date letters in the IGC file name.

Standard IGC file name consist of three parts:

. First three letters are the date 27a for 10th of July 2002, 2ab for 11th of October 2002

. Next four are a unique for each data logger, they represent the logger's serial number

. The last one is consecutive number of a flight on the particular date.

The unique code can be anything, it is not limited to 4 letters or anything. Do it differently if your downloading software allows you. SeeYou will look for this string in the filename. If it can find it, that's your flight.

Polars

Choosing the polar is all important for any good indication about how the air was moving around the glider. Netto vario is the value that describes the movement of the air around the glider by adding the sink of the glider at a given airspeed to the current sink rate. If the polar data is wrong, the netto vario will be too.

Select a polar from the list or calculate your own polar by entering three sink rate at three different indicated airspeeds into the form at the right hand side of the dialog.

Terrain quality

This feature controls how much terrain is drawn at once. The higher the terrain quality the better the graphic card must be in order to still give smooth 3D experience. Experiment with this setting to find the limits of your hardware.

Height exaggeration

This value multiplies the flight track and mountains height. Larger value makes them steeper.

Track width

Influences the route width in pixels, meters or feet.

Visible layers

You can setup visible layers independently from the Route view. This makes it possible to use Raster maps (sattelite images for example) in 3D view while you would use Vector maps in overhead view.

Vector maps

The maps will come to you when you need them

Since SeeYou 4 vector maps are downloaded automatically when your computer is connected to the internet. If you would like to download a particular area before you go offline please go to File > Mobile

Wizard > choose vector maps and all its features > select your area (size is limited) > Next > you will be warned that not all data has been downloaded yet. Choose "Yes" - download the data now.

Choosing a color scheme

Selecting a color scheme that works for you mostly depends on what you are trying to analyze. These are the main options:

. Mountain landscape - this is the default SeeYou color scheme

. Open Street Maps - useful for flat areas because it adds more ground features such as woods and fields. Data is unfortunately not available worldwide. Europe and North America are covered much better than the rest of the world. The good news is that the data is public and people at OpenStreetMaps.org

will be delighted if you could participate by adding data about your area.

. Zebra - adds more contrast to the altitude colors. Make sure you use it in combination with HGT maps

. Appalachians - a greenish color scheme which nicely depicts the relief in the Appalachians.

· To next point (turnpoints or start point only)

· To previous point (turnpoints or finish point only)

· To start point (turnpoints only)

4.

Set Radius1, Angle1, Radius2 and Angle2. Play around and see what happens on the picture to become familiar with the changes. Note that Radius1 must be greater than Radius2.

5.

Set Angle12 value, if Fixed value was chosen

4.5.6.14 Proxy

If you are behind a proxy you will need to enter your proxy settings through this dialog in order to be able to download the maps and get airspace and version update notifications.

Most users will not need to enter anything here. As a rule of thumb - if you don't know what to enter in these settings leave them blank.

By choosing Automatically detect Proxy Settings the settings will be copied from Internet Explorer's settings.

By selecting Use Custom proxy settings you will be able to enter all of it manually.
