Default WinPilot and OLC

Does anyone know if the 2006 OLC (US, if that matters) will accept igc
files produced by WinPilot?

In reading the OLC site the answer seems to be no. I didn't find
anywhere on the OLC site to submit a question so I thought I'd try RAS.
WinPilots says they meet the "technical requirements". They also
provide validation software (valiwp.exe). I did not get a direct answer
as to whether or not the files would be accepted.

Has anyone submitted a WinPilot igc file for 2006 and was it accepted ?

Thanks,
Doug

(I swear there's a conspiracy in soaring to sell secure data loggers.
First badges and now the OLC too! I guess I'll just have to bite the
bullet.)

Yes, I submitted a GPS_LOG iqc file yesterday and it was accepted. A field
labeled "Flight State" says "Logger is not IGC-approved!" but the flight is
shown in the daily score.

Greetings, Erik.

I found the help web address and got a quick and curteous response.

"I am sorry but Winpilot manufacturers are not willing to deal with
OLC, so Win Pilot files are not valid for OLC "
