Thanks to search engines, it was a July 2017 posting I was remembering:


Yeah, I know I should "buy a new logger". But, I fly old sailplanes.
:-) Anyone had success uploading a file from a Model 20 and getting a
valid score? I am 0 for 3. The first two, I wrote off to too few
satellites a couple of times during the flight. Didn't have that issue
today, but still a big red V.

I am using the same conversion program I used last year, and it says it
is making a valid file. It worked fine last year, but doesn't now.
Maybe they would like me better if I gave them money? And, please, no
"Use Skylines" comments.

Suggestions welcome.

Also came across the 2012 thread where OLC stopped accepting GPS-NAV
files for a while (not sure how long that lasted), and the 2014
discussion when the date problems started showing up. Since you can
record OLC-acceptable files now with a $10 app, it seems to me to be a
bit of false economy to stick with the old stuff. To each his own.

Knew you could do it. :-)

As for "false economy", the phone I have won't run the $10 App, so I would need a different phone. It will also have a more expensive monthly phone plan, too. Keep working on the "false economy" argument if you like... Also, the phone won't interface with my L-Nav, so I still need to keep my "old junk" working to get what I really want, which is integrated variometer and glide computer in the cockpit. OLC is neat and great fun. Especially when something like this happens.

There are plenty of cool things to see in the sky. We all need to get out and see more of them.
