I lurk on RAS ocasionally and I have read posts from others about
problems posting flights on OLC. I have never bothered to post on OLC
till this morning (For a flight I made yesterday the 14th), and now I
have my own problems to relate. I am using a Camebridge model 20
vesion 6.0 and Aero Explorer 1.1 software (This has always been
sufficient for the badge lady ) . When I enter my flight info and
click the upload button, I get a "cannot display webpage" message. I
have tried this 3 times with the same results. There is no contact
info for OLC on the SSA page, so I emailed the OLC people in Germany
(I presume) to ask about this problem. Has anyone else had this issue?
Did I miss out by not posting my flight on the day it took place ? Is
the OLC currently down, and if so, what happens to the flights that
are not posted in time. Is there any contact people in the US ?
The flight in question was only 200 miles, and given the type of
sailplane I have and the strong desert conditions this is not a big
deal. This was the first time in my career that I made an FAI
declaration in the hopes of a badge, and I wanted to post this flight
to inspire some of my buddies to take up XC. Somebody please tell me
that it is not always this difficult. Am I expected to sink 150 bucks
in the latest soaring software to be able to participate?
Sorry, just venting now, thanks in advance for any insight,
K
