Thanks, Paul.

I'll try your suggestions and give you a call if I'm still unsuccessful.

Hi Dan,
The error message below means that you haven’t installed the database
that is tied to LXe. The latest one is from 2009 – unfortunately.
You run the install program from the link below after installing LXe.
http://static1.squarespace.com/stati...77/usa_L09.exe

Once you get LXe running it is possible to use their LXAsBrowser to
create new airspace files. It is not easy, but I have created many of
them for customers. You use LXe to transfer the airspace file to the
LX7000.
Unfortunately, .cub file created for and with SeeYou can’t be used in
the LX7000. Only LXAsBrowser can create the files. It is available he

Give me a call sometime and we can setup a support session. I can
help you get it working.

Hello All,

I have been unable to load my LX7000 pro IGC which came in my new
glider. I have a serial cable and a Windows Vista computer and have
been able to establish contact between the two, but I have not been
able to upload airspace or turnpoint files to the computer. I have
sent the following to LX Navigation as I've read here that they are
very responsive, but this group is also responsive so I'm asking for
help.

To LX Navigation

I just bought a glider with an LX7000 pro IGC system and I received no
software or instructions with the instrument. I have downloaded LXe
and LXas Browser and the USA Airspace and Turnpoints from your
website. So far, I have been unable to load any data into the 7000
using the DIN serial cable and a Windows Vista computer.

When I try to run LXE I get the following:

Warning!

LXE... can't be run while database is not installed!
Install Airspace & Airports database!
the latest DB on HTTP://www.lxnavigation.si/database.htm

I have downloaded USA.af and USA-C15.CUB and I have these databases in
the same folder as LXE. Do I need other programs which are not
downloaded from your website? The LXE manual refers to a CDROM. Can
that be downloaded? Until I get these programs all to work together
and load data into my flight computer, it is of no use for soaring
other than the variometer, which works very nicely!

So, can anyone on RAS enlighten me as to what I'm missing?
