Default Help with OLC USA.

I made another attempt to load my flight by using SeeYou.
I optimized my flight and hit the 'Submit' button.
I completed the form and was able to enter my takeoff
location as Minden, NV by hand (no drop down menu).


It should automatically find your takeoff location. It is possible that
OLC is rejecting your claim because you are not using the OLC code for
Minden.



(?why does OLC entry form only allow drop down menu
choices and SeeYou form allows hand entry?)


Because you aren't supposed to enter the location in SeeYou -- the
software finds it automatically. What version of SeeYou are you using?

The *.igc file is downloaded to OLC and I get the following
error message, 'Flight could not be scored. Please
review flight claim, which will open in your browser
for details.'


My memory is vague, but doesn't this automatically popup on the screen?
By hitting the "Show Error" button you may be shortcircuiting the
process. The OLC server can be slow, so why not try again and not hit
the "Show Error" button, and see what shows up on your screen.


I hit the 'Show Error' button and am directed to the
OLC-NEWS page, in german. Not flight claim is displayed.

Damn.
