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. </p><p class="yiv1967440842MsoNormal"> </p><p class="yiv1967440842MsoNormal">Here’s some of the changes:</p><ul type="disc"><li class="yiv1967440842MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "sans-serif";">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 class="yiv1967440842MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "sans-serif";">New look and feel including a functional Toolbar on all screens in addition to the menu bar.

The Class Name for the Contest is initially populated from the Schedule but can be overridden in the Contest. </span></li><li class="yiv1967440842MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "sans-serif";">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 class="yiv1967440842MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "sans-serif";">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 class="yiv1967440842MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "sans-serif";">Included the "AMA Radio Control Aerobatics Competition Regulation" with the 2011-2012 version.
