Volkslogger issue
I purchased a used Volkslogger and it works fine, but the I can't seem
to get rid of the previous owner's Home Waypoint. I have downloaded the waypoints from the logger and uploaded mine, but the Home Waypoint stays. When I upload the flight, the departure point is the home waypoint even though I have not entered it. Any Volkslogger experts have an idea? LL |

Volkslogger issue
If I remember correctly, the Home point is in the Flight Info section
FAIEDITINFOHOM You should then be able to either edit the HOM point coordinates or select from a list of waypoints in the device. You could also change this info on your PC (it will be in the same area as the Pilot Name, Glider type, Class etc) and upload the flight info to the Volkslogger. This link will get you the manual: http://www.uppsalafk.com/segel/dokum...ger_vl174e.pdf Page 17 talks about the home point as part of INFO. By the way the VL is great as a back-up logger. I have extracted a successful trace even with the glider battery volts below 7V and everything else shut-down due to lack of volts. Just remember to clear the memory frequently as once it is full, the VL will stop recording. Good luck, Regards, Roy At 00:41 25 May 2012, Bernie wrote: I purchased a used Volkslogger and it works fine, but the I can't seem to get rid of the previous owner's Home Waypoint.

Any Volkslogger experts have an idea? LL Thanks for the reply Roy. I have always declared flights, uploaded waypoints and and downloaded flights via Winpilot and SeeYou, so am not very skilled at using the VL internal software. I did edit the "new" loggers FAI data but didn't go far enoug to see the Home Airport part. I changed that and all is well. Thanks Much, Bernie LL |
