No, Dave is getting frustrated, and I agree with him! If you upgrade the display software and look at the stupid thing - IT HAS AN IGC FILE DOWNLOAD FEATURE! So stick in the free USB extender, route it so you can reach it without taking your glider apart, then after your incredible flight, WITHOUT CYCLING THE PFB POWER, stick in your fancy thumb drive with the pretty lights, go to the igc file download menu, and get your stinking file so you can rush to post it on OLC to the amazement of the unwashed masses and adoration of the breathless groupies...

I would say RTFM, but of course the M isn't quite up to date yet...

Sheesh, don't you guys know any 14 year olds?

AFAIK, I have updated to the latest of both display and core fw. There is a menu item for "IGC Download" - On and Off. I have it on. My understanding is not that this forces a download, rather, that it has the core send the file to the USB stick or not. The new manual (3.0 US) says

To read out the flights to the USB stick:
 Switch CORE OFF after flight (allow at least 2 minutes after landing to avoid losing data).
 Connect USB stick to CORE.
 Switch CORE ON.
 Observe Status LED (flashing RED/GREEN) or progress indication on display to verify flights are being copied.
 Wait until system has started up normally after copying flights.
 Disconnect USB stick.

Some displays or flight computers allow reading out flights without switching the CORE OFF after the flight. Please refer to your system’s documentation for details.

I did RTFM. If it's accurate, you're wrong; I have tried what you suggest and it does not work - the IGC files do not appear on my stick unless I cycle the power.

Thank you for your wise words; they really helped.
