OLC participation and "red marks"

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.

It should have said 2400z Tuesday, or 0000z Wednesday.

But is that the actual cutoff, or are they giving until midnight USA time?

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

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.

Uh, I'm guessing there are quite a few pilots world-wide who
done read the Albuquerque site, who don't read RAS, and in general
get very frustrated with anything to do with computers. The
problem's not going away anytime soon.

The See-You patch is likely only valid for 3.X versions, something
that's been left off the See-You and OLC sites.
