OLC participation and "red marks"

Don't worry, the OLC people have been contacted directly on this issue.

The OLC folks say that StrePla is working properly for OLC claims with
Cambridge 10/25 loggers. I use niether, so I cannot confirm this. Can
folks who use both let us know your experiences?

BTW, they have a 30 day free trial, so you can test it out yourself:

Apparently SeeYou has the same workaround implemented. You need to
download a xip file with the patches and replace the files in your
SeeYou directory:

http://www.naviter.si/dload/seeyou-cai-dos.zip

1. Extract both files from the ZIP to your SeeYou folder
2. Replace your existing SeeYou.exe

You should be able to claim flights normally once the patches are
applied.

Hopefully this will clear up the problems with the Cambridge 10/20/25
loggers and OLC. Please post your experiences with either program and
the older Cambridge loggers.

Well, I don't see any postings from this weekend. Is no news good news?

As info, the SeeYou patch above had problems with long file names (it's
a DOS thing). They have a new patch up on their web site:

I see 63 postings with over 50 points, and 20 of them have the red mark.

If you use this patch, do you still get the OLC message "Sorry,
Validation Service is current not running.
OLC Team is working on that issue," or has SeeYou figured a way around
that message?

QT reported success with the SeeYou patch on Cambridge files from KS,
X, QV and SM on 4/4. All were uploaded and validated without problems.

The only red marks in the SSA-OLC in the last few days are from people
using GPSlog (not sure why that did not work) or test download on the
Volkslogger.

BTW, SeeYou found another issue with long directory names, and have
reposted a patch yesterday April 6 to correct this:

OLC also has more Cambridge info on their Info page:

Doug, do you know the exact time of the Tuesday upload cutoff? Your
presentation says 0000 zulu, but it appears that one usually can upload
after that time. The OLC website is unclear.

There is also a freeware utility for Cambridge GPS-NAV flight claiming
to OLC written by Carl Ekdahl available on the ASC website:

http://www.abqsoaring.org/misc_files/CAI_fix.htm

So now, there should be no more red marks for Cambridge!

If you got a red mark yesterday (or know someone who did) please try
reclaiming the flight with one of these programs.
