Interruption in Flight Log

The log on my flight yesterday 05/20/16) is broken into two files as posted on OLC- can anyone help me stitch them together? Validation issue as well on one which may be due to this.

Thanks!

You can do this yourself. Use a simple text editor such as NOTEPAD and open the second file. Find the beginning of the B records, copy all of them. Open up the first file and paste the B records after the last B records in the first file. Save under another file name. Security will be no god but ...

I will be willing to assist but will take a day or so as I finish up other stuff

Stitching them together is not difficult, but you are not going to recover
the security if it is an approved recorder.

What model of recorder was it?

Primary recorder was a Nano which failed when it came loose from mounting.

Backup, which generated the logs posted is a Dell Streak running Tom Hat.

Thanks,

Yeah... no way to get a secure log out of that. You can stitch them together as suggested above, but OLC will not score this as a valid flight. If Ron's too busy you can send them to me and I'll do it. You'll be able to analyze the flight (for example in SeeYou), but it won't pass muster for OLC, records, etc.

Gary, if you are comfortable with DOS commands, you can use the DOS
Copy command running under a Command window (use "cmd" in most
versions of Windows).

Just as an example for 2 files;
File 1: 64NG8IP1.IGC
File 2: 64NG8IP2.IGC

The following command will concatente the two files into a 3rd file
with full security. The 3rd file will be 64NG8IP3.IGC

copy 64NG8IP1.IGC+64NG8IP2.IGC 64NG8IP3.IGC

Note the final numeral must be incremented for the concatenated
version.

If this proves unsuccesful or too difficult, just email me the files.

I read it that both loggers had incomplete files. You can't mix files from two different manufacturers.

I believe OLC provides a form for this (and other claim issues)

Scroll to the bottom and choose option 2.5
From my experience you will normally get scored as well.

My favorite part of Option 2.5 is the note that gets posted immediately below the "request help" box.

"Please ask somebody else with more experience (a competitor with smiley may be able to help you)"

I wonder if they reply to the smiley face people...
