Nope, I didn't miss your meaning. *It was never exactly easy for me
all season long, either. *Sometimes it would successfully upload on

the exact same file using the exact same approach. *Have no idea why,
it just was that way. *I have seen the threads, and been involved in

after enough tries of uploading the same file, they would get the
green V.

As stated previously, I am going to see if the "support" that goes
away on January 1 is just a wrong file name from the file conversion
program.

Don't forget that they have a special process that deals with these
"hybrid" cai/igc files in a different way. They had to write special
code to validate them. These files are different from the "standard"
igc format. If they disable that special process, all bets are off.
Changing file names won't help in any way.

It sounds to me like they are going to retire that special validation
process for cai/igc hybrid files.
