I've attached translations of the French pattern sequences for their
lower classes. Translating was fun. Normal French is one thing but I
had no idea about maneuver names. Some were obvious, others not so.<br>
They do start at a higher maneuver level than we do in the entry class.
Advancement is Promotion, A, B, F3a. The only pattern with actual
scored takeoff/landings is the entry class(Promotion). Also,there are
no breaks from the turnaround. The "A" schedule is roughly comparable
to the Advanced pattern and "B" is somewhat easier than Masters since
it is a prep class for F3a.<br>
<br>
In any case, this is the system that is currently generating the number
1 and 2 in the world. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Actually, Gene is correct -- we can maintain our
SPA
schedules in the SPA version of PACSS. I had forgotten, and was
remembering trying to enter SPA maneuvers into the 401-409 categories
of the
original version of AMA-PACSS...<br>

The Schedule Maintenance appears to allow only schedules between 401
and 409.
Doesn't this mean you need to replace the current AMA/FAI schedules in
order to
set up for SPA or a foreign county. Wouldn't you lose your modified
schedules
with a PACSS update?<br>
<br>
I think what Phil is suggesting is an external text file that can be
used to
input the schedules for any contest, foreign or domestic. If you
provide
the layout, there are plenty of folks around the world that would keep
their
version up to date and send you the file for inclusion in updates.<br>

Happy New Year, Gene!!!<br>
<br>
The SPA schedule will remain the same for 2010. We will probably
change
it for 2011-2012. If we do, I'll send the new patterns to you. How
'bout just making an app to let us update the schedules ourselves.
Would
that be too much work for you, or would it reduce your work every
couple of
years?<br>
<br>
We sure do appreciate the work you do on PACSS!!! I believe it is THE
scoring program for SPA, at least here in the Southeast...<br>

All PACSS Users,<br>

I am in the process of making a number modifications to PACSS. One of
the
changes is to make the use of “foreign”, other than AMA / FAI,
schedules easier to use. In order to do this I need to know what are
the
Organizations and associated schedules that are being used today. I
have the
SPA and Canadian schedules from last year but don’t know if they are
changing in 2010 so updated schedules from those two organizations
would be
helpful.<br>
<br>
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated <br>
<br>
