Oudie won’t download flight

You know freakin Navitar was very casual about the idea that I could click version 7.47 to download and end up with 8.01!!!...he stared “its not officially released yet but is well tested�...well if its NOT officially released then why did I have access to it? When he said well tested does that include erasing pilot information?

The reason I am reposting this is apparently I am not the only guy that got the unofficial release and perhaps others have issues. If not i can only hope that this is the fix. Navitar was not helpful.

As I posted previously I upgraded my Oudie 2 via the PC updater utility and got 8.01.004 after your experience.

The contents of your IGC file I posted came from downloading from OLC, so it should reflect what is your Cambridge logger not your Oudie. THerefore how can an IGC file without pilot info etc, what you are calling a SIGNATURE, be verified?

DO not wait till your next flight, drive around with the Oudie and check it out.

I have worked with Naviter on numerous accounts and found them to be responsive and very helpful. THeir products are great and when they break their software it is fixed quickly. Our market is so small I am grateful for the products we have

The security record(s) should be the last record(s) in the file, although
some software (such as SeeYou) can add extra records after the security
record(s).

Security record(s) all start with the letter G. If there are no records in
the file starting with the letter G, there are no security records.

However, as the second character of the first Record in the file is 'X', we
know that this is NOT any kind of IGC Approved recorder.

Use that page with caution.

1. It bears the date 1994!
2. The definition of the A-record is wrong and there have been lots of
other updates since 1994.

Thanks Tim good catch, latest document from FAI site https://www.fai.org/sites/default/fi..._2016-4-10.pdf starting on page 18

My Oudie 2 hangs up after flying a task and landing. It started doing this after I interfaced it with my Portable Flarm. It works well during the flight otherwise. I too have to do a "reset" to get it working again.

I tried setting the Oudie 2 not to allow the flight to be downloaded from the Flarm, but that didn't help either. It hangs up at the end of the flight regardless of the setting ... and I have a Micro SD card.

Even with the "stuck" Oudie at the end of the flight, it still contains a valid .igc file and I've used the file successfully for regional races.
