Hi Andy,




I don't think your statement below is correct. I think ConnectMe supports


flight log downloads from PowerFLARM, but the PowerFLARM doesn't support it


yet.




Best Regards,

Glad somebody's working on it!



A.

I'm flying with PowerFlarm connected through a V7 to an Avier (Vertica V2). I have the small rectangular Butterfly and a USB extension cable to the panel. With the latest firmware for the Butterfly and PowerFlarm, IGC downloads are extraordinarily easy.

Yesterday after landing while still in the cockpit I plugged the USB stick into the slot on the panel & used the Butterfly display menu to select download IGC. It showed me a progress bar and notified me of completion. I pulled the USB stick and powered down the instrumentation. Simple, easy, quick.

Cheers,
Craig
