Is anybody having trouble with invalid igc files in
OLC? I submitted one last week, no problem. This week
though, same process results in an invalid file.

Download the file from the OLC site and check it's validity. If it's
invalid, you may be having the same problem I am.

I've had chronic problems since the 2007 season began. Doug Haluza, OLC,
and SeeYou have now traced it to the IGC file from my Cambridge 302
becoming corrupted by the time it is put on the OLC site and tested.
It's weird: only two characters are changed, you can look at the file
and see the changes, change them back, and the file validates.

It happens to some other 302 owners, not just me. I'm assured they are
working on it. What does appear to work is to do a "direct claim"; at
least, the OLC ends up with an uncorrupted file on their site.
Currently, it appears this direct claim should be the first one, because
previous claims, even though deleted, may cause a new one to be ignored.

By the way, the "direct claim" procedure is far easier than it used to
be, so I don't mind doing it that way until the problem is fixed.
