Check things

Attack angles

Under the Course layout menu, the last option is to Check attack angles >120 degrees. This automatically dims the map and shows in red all the controls that require attention. Highlight each one in turn, right click and select Control circle then click the button for Show attack angles. The red segments show attack angles, the blue show departure angles.

Tip #5

Avoid having 2 courses attacking a control from near-opposite directions – it gives random advantage!

Course lengths

Condes calculates the course from the length of the line joining the controls. If you’ve defined your compulsory routes etc., this should be right. However, you can override it. Right click in the course layout editor (with Edit courses selected on the toolbar), then select Edit course. Remove the tick in the box for automatic calculation of length, and type in the box. It will accept anything you put in that box.
