Create a route from your Evo V2

⚠️ Important note: Adding and editing a route can also be done directly via the Syride "Link" software or the Syride app (Android and Apple) with a more suitable interface and the ability to upload various files (such as XCTask). It is also possible to scan a QR Code via the app to send a route to your Evo V2. To create a route from the instrument, swipe up on a flight screen to display the menus, then tap the “Navigation” icon, then the menu icon "Add/edit/delete routes" and then "Create route": ⚠️ Important note: Creating a route from the instrument is only possible if you have turnpoints stored in your instrument. Here are the steps to create a route from the instrument: Types of navigation routes:

• Standard route : point-to-point navigation, in the defined order. Ideal for following a free course or a triangle.

• Race to goal : used in competition, it is a timed race with a mass start; the timer starts at the scheduled time. The goal is to reach the finish as quickly as possible.

• Race to goal with multiple start : same principle as a Race to goal, but with multiple possible start slots. The pilot chooses their slot by crossing the start line.

• Elapsed time : used in competition, each pilot starts their own timer by crossing the start line whenever they wish. Ideal for "time trial" flights.

The route addition interface is done by adding turnpoints on the right side using the "+" button. Depending on the chosen route type, specific turnpoints will appear. Types of start turnpoints you can choose in competition:

• Take Off Optional turnpoint. It can only be placed as the first turnpoint of the route. It is not used for navigation but allows calculating the total length of the task.

• Start Speed Section (SSS) Turnpoint available for a Race to Goal or an Elapsed Time. It is mandatory when creating the route. It can be validated as a enter (enter) or as an exit (exit). A start time must be associated with it.

  • In Race to Goal :

    • Start Exit : if the pilot is already inside the turnpoint at the moment of the start, it is validated and you move to the next one.

    • Start Enter : if the pilot is in the turnpoint at the moment of the start, they must exit it and then cross it in entry after the start time to validate it. In both cases, the race time begins at the start time (whether the turnpoint is validated or not).

  • In Elapsed Time (minimum time): Unlike a Race to Goal, here the race time only starts upon the actual crossing of the turnpoint (entry or exit) after the start time. The pilot can cross the turnpoint multiple times: the time will reset to zero at each passage. Once the next turnpoint is validated, it will no longer be possible to cross the start.

  Multiple Start Speed Section (Multiple SSS) Turnpoint available only in Race to Goal with multiple start (multiple start). It is mandatory. You must define the direction, the time of the first start, the interval between starts, and the number of gates (gates).

  Example: with 5 starts at 13:00 / 13:20 / 13:40 / 14:00 / 14:20:

  • If I cross the SSS turnpoint in entry at 13:25, my start will be taken as the 13:20 start, and my race time will be 5 minutes.

  • If I cross the turnpoint again at 13:41, the start taken will be the 13:40 one, and my new race time will be 1 minute.

Types of finish turnpoints you can choose in competition:

• End Speed Section (ESS) Available as soon as an SSS is present in the route. The ESS marks the end of the competition time. Note: for the task to be valid, the goal must be crossed after the ESS.

• Conical End Speed Section (Conical ESS) Same principle as the ESS, but the turnpoint is defined as a cone (rather than a cylinder). You must indicate the cone's inclination angle (default value: 0.4°, according to PWC rules).

• Goal cylinder Last turnpoint to cross after the ESS. It is optional. It is a standard cylinder.

• Goal line Alternative to the goal cylinder: finish line represented by a semicircle. The default length is 200 m (i.e., a 100 m line on each side of the finish point), according to PWC rules. The minimum allowed length is 50 m.
