For your race time to show up on the leaderboard in RACES, you have to connect your VelociDrone account to your team. There are two options for doing this, depending on how you are using VelociDrone licensing.
OPTION 1
Each pilot on your team has their own VelociDrone license and they are the only one using that license.
Each pilot will connect their VelociDrone account to their RACES profile. When they post times, they will count for the team where that pilot is listed as a member/player.
To connect a VelociDrone account you'll need the account Player Name and User ID (UID)
Watch the video below to learn how your students can connect their VelociDrone account in RACES.
OPTION 2
You have a VelociDrone license that is assigned to the team, and multiple pilots from the team all use that same license.
The advisor will need to create a detached member in RACES. The advisor will connect the VelociDrone account to that detached member's profile in RACES and add the member to the appropriate team.
