Hi John,
Thanks for posting the link. I was wondering where a good copy could be found. Maybe if Sparky sees this, he can update the file on his site as well. I tested it and it is the good version with the clover in it. This sure brings back some memories of how long it took me to do this. I had to learn to use the old version of Blender 3-D and their game engine because I'm no computer programmer. It took around 6 months to get all the maneuvers animated.....frame by frame! There are over 8000 frames. I was trying to teach new judges (and some of the old ones!) the perspective of spherical shapes and discovered that there were some basic errors in the stunt pattern rules form the FAI and AMA rule books. The clover could not be flown to the rule definition and that is why I did not include it in the first version. This version sneaked out on Igor Burger's website because he felt that many should see it. This was in 2004 after the Muncie world champs. Eventually after working with many great stunt people like Igor and Keith Trostle plus many others, and with lots of help from Peter Germann, we succeeded in fixing the errors in 2010.
The rule descriptions are now at least technically correct, but unfortunately my old CL Sim still shows squares with tops flown parallel to the ground or the level flight horizontal line. The sim needs an update and the latest software is phenomenal. Unfortunately the learning curve is also phenomenal so I have not yet had time to start it all over again. As they say......life got in the way!
