<div class=MsoNormal>There is a new version of the PACSS scoring software out on the web at <A href="http://pacss.sgmservice.com/" target=_blank>http://pacss.sgmservice.com/</A>. There are some pretty significant changes in this version so please spend some time using the system before you use it at a contest. I would appreciate any feedback, it is difficult to thoroughly test a system when one person designs, codes and tests. </div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>Here’s some of the changes:</div>
<UL type=disc>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13.5pt; COLOR: black; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Added the Maneuver and Schedule data to support the 2011-2012 AMA patterns. If you are upgrading, these will have been added the first time you run PACSS after the upgrade. </SPAN></LI>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13.5pt; COLOR: black; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">New look and feel including a functional Toolbar on all screens in addition to the menu bar. All functions now require an explicit "Save" </SPAN></LI>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13.5pt; COLOR: black; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Definition of the "Class Name" has been moved from the System Configuration to the Schedule data record. The Class Name for the Contest is initially populated from the Schedule but can be overridden in the Contest. </SPAN></LI>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13.5pt; COLOR: black; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Added a "Schedule Type" to the schedule data. This allows the definition of schedules other than AMA. Previously I have had to maintain separate versions of the system for SPA, MAAC etc. Now a Schedule type can be defined when adding a new schedule and can be selected at the contest level. In Contest Set-up this can be overridden. </SPAN></LI>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13.5pt; COLOR: black; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">A new function has been added to the Contest Set-Up menu bar, "FAI-Finals". This function will let you automate the process of running a contest with both FAI Prelims and Finals NOTE: This function is not yet completed, expected release date is 4-1-11 </SPAN></LI>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13.5pt; COLOR: black; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Included the "AMA Radio Control Aerobatics Competition Regulation" with the 2011-2012 version. The Class schedules Aresti diagrams, and maneuver descriptions have been merged into the AMA document. </SPAN></LI>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13.5pt; COLOR: black; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Added the last two version of the "FAI Sporting code, Section 4" to the Rulebook function </SPAN></LI>
<LI style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13.5pt; COLOR: black; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Miscellaneous Bug-Fixes</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt">. </SPAN></LI></UL>
