Submitting flights to the OLC
Hi,
using the OLC with the old Cambridge logger is cumbersome, especially if you need the flights to be IGC validated. Even worse the Cambridge supplied windows software to create IGC files is not IGC approved and hereby not usable. We, the StrePla team, were confronted with that problem some time ago and implemted the '7steps' OLC solution in StrePla. - download the CAI file - convert the CAI file with the DOS software to the IGC file - append the CAI file at the end of the IGC file (for validating purpose) This works for all Cambridge model 10, 20 or 25 (the older once) without any special knowlege. Just download the flight from your logger using your PC or PDA and submit it to the OLC. Test it! The download is free. The demo program runs 30 days without any restrictions. http://www.strepla.de/StrePla4/english Happy flights! Klaus Langelüddeke |

Submitting flights to the OLC
Hi Klaus,
I didn't want to get into this thread, but now I must. You know just as well as I do that it's not about being able to tackle this one technically. Anyone interested in proving that I'm not just boasting should download this file: http://www.naviter.si/dload/seeyou-cai-dos.zip 1. Extract both files from the ZIP to your SeeYou folder 2. Overwrite your existing SeeYou.exe Such flights will be scored as valid and this is what is below referred to as "implementing the seven step solution". It is really a no-step solution in SeeYou: 1. Open CAI file in SeeYou 2. Submit it to OLC the same way you are used to doing this with any other file. However (isn't there always a however). Today is year 2006. Let's go away from DOS. Please. I sincerely hope that this is just a very temporary solution. It's ok for us (we hardly even care), but it's not ok for all of us in the long term. Cheers, Andrej Kolar P.S. Oh - and by the way. If you have not yet upgraded to SeeYou 3.x you will have to do that now to use this fix. OLC wants you to. We proposed several ways around it to no avail. Not that we don't want you to upgrade, but we wanted you to upgrade for the right reasons. Anyway. Happy soaring. Keep posting flights to the OLC. I love analyzing great flights no matter where they are from. -- glider pilots use http://www.SeeYou.si/ lalue wrote: Hi, using the OLC with the old Cambridge logger is cumbersome, especially if you need the flights to be IGC validated.

Submitting flights to the OLC
Right on Andrej!
Most of us are too busy to mess with DOS and just want applications that will do what we want with the minimum of fuss. No doubt someone will complain about a commercial solution like the one implemented in SeeYou 3, but I am glad we have some programmers like you who can improve our soaring experience with neat software. For me, the first thing I do after flying is to download my flight into SeeYou to view and analyze what I did right and wrong. When I started soaring over 30 years ago I couldn't have imagined the impact of GPS logging and analysis software. DOS - ha! Mike |
