NEW: STOL Drag!!
Now featuring a timer for STOL Drag. This will only give you your time, but if there is enough demand, I will work on live race. You can run side by side in this version by selecting lane 1 or 2, but the timer will start only when you start moving, not based off a synchronized starter.
STOL Drag is a side by side race where the participants must start from a dead stop, take off, land past the far line, come to a complete stop, then turn around, land past the start line, then come to a complete stop.
Can you get the shortest takeoff and landing?? This application and in-game panel will track your take offs and landings at the STOL strip at KXCH, CYSE, or BL01. It will teleport you to the line, then measure your takeoff, then measure your landing. There is a leaderboard that will track the best shortest STOLs, your personal best, and the best for your current aircraft.

Troubleshooting:
When I open the panel, I just get a blank panel
Make sure the server is running, and that you don't have any other programs using port 4000
After I press start, MSFS does not take any of my inputs
Make sure the mouse is not in the panel after you press star
My aircraft is not lining up properly on the line
Make sure you are using a supported aircraft
Any other aircraft will still be measured and logged, but they will line up the CG to the line, instead of the main gear

Would it be possible to create a version where you can add your own server with a private list of participants (players Group)?

Tried it a few moments ago.
Cannot get the widget to recognice that my throttle is idle and my brakes are pressed.
Might be because I use Spad.next to controll nearly all of my inputs.
Could you please have a look?

Had so much fun flying with flox_trot today, but on one of my bests it bugged and saved 0/0/0 instead of my actual distance. See screenshot in your hangar channel on flox_trot's discord. I would appreciate it if you could delete that entry, so I don't look like a cheater, and hopefully identify and fix that issue. Thank you for a super fun addon.

I removed that for you. But could you describe what all you did that may have caused it to zero out?

Please let me know what you are using to trigger the measurements etc? I'm the author of the GotGravel academy and it will be updated after SU8 and I don't want to change something that would affect this mod without talking with you first
2 years ago
I am just using coordinates. So I would not expect SU8 updates to cause any issue, unless you are moving the STOL field. But even then, it is easy for me to update on my end.
Here is what I have.
startMiddleLat = 49.78464454212637;
startMiddleLon = -123.1650572;
startRightLat = 49.78462361684268;
startRightLon = -123.1651779;
startLeftLat = 49.784667541670906;
startLeftLon = -123.1649227;
initialHeading = 165.0;
altitude = 174.3;
