Thank you for the information.

Dan

Thank you FLARM for your response. We look forward to v3.0 and hope you will commit to show more respect to your customers through better communication.

Documentation, webpage and communication updates are in process too, but firmware has top priority, for now.



The version which was tested by IGC/GFAC for the approval did fulfill their requirements, but did not contain some of the collision avoidance and other features which will be in v3.0.

Our release testing has become much lengthier and elaborate over the years; 'I think it works' is not sufficient...



Sorry for not monitoring R.A.S frequently, for completeness here our previous post:

Will version 3.0 offer any improvement in PCAS performance? As you say "I think it works" is not sufficient.

v3.0 will include PCAS improvements.
Unfortunately PCAS is not an exact science, so don't expect miracles (yet)...

As long as it works at least as good as a Zaon it will be sufficient.

Are you saying ZAON is a miracle?

Hi, any update on this?

2 of us flew with the 2.6 firmware yesterday, My understanding was that the 2.6 logger was supposed to work ok with OLC, but OLC is showing both flights as invalid.
Is there a trick to making it work on OLC?

Brian

One week ago I updated my core to 2.60 with a USB drive connected to the remote USB socket. At the end of the day I downloaded the flight using the same USB stick and the menu option on the 57mm butterfly display and uploaded it to the OLC on someone else's PC. Easiest upload to the OLC I have ever done.

We're seeing the same thing at TSA, one of our members who has been
submitting v2.60 PowerFlarm logs to OLC since November 2012, and
getting 'blue" OK ( position recorder) flags, got a "red" fail on
today's log submitted to OLC.

Just a guess on my part, but since v2.7 has now received IGC approval
for secure logging, I'm guessing the OLC is flagging PowerFlarm logs
not submitted with this latest release as invalid.
