Trying out the winterchallenge but can't make it work. Seems that after given a command it only works for one timestep...
Difficult to race under these conditions ??

Seen this in the log, don't think it's related but looks bad

This type of behavior may occur if you collide with land. Zoom in quite a lot to make sure that you do not hit land. Let us know how things turn out.
