Mike,
What version of SeeYou did you use?

I use version 3.4 but I haven't tried uploading to OLC with it this
year. I don't think it will work with the new version of OLC. I
haven't felt the need to upgrade from 3.4, uploading directly to OLC
seems to work great.

You should always use the latest version of your software. As problems
are discovered, the vendors make updates, and there is no sense having
problems that are already solved. SeeYou is also testing a beta
version to deal with a strange data transmission issue with the new
OLC interface where "+" signs get corrupted in transmission, causing
validation to fail. This affects C302+ users, but could also randomly
affect anyone if there is a "+" sign in the digital signature.

If your software fails to work, please try direct claim as an
alternate. As noted above in this thread, it is very easy now in OLC
2.0.

You should get an email receipt for your claim with your score when
the server finishes procesing your claim. To receive this email, make
sure your email address is correct in your OLC registration, and
"white list" onlinecontest.org if you are using a spam blocker. The
email will have a link to your claim record--be sure to send this when
you request support since it lets us find your claim immediately. You
can reply to the email, or forward it to your national OLC
administrator for help. The national admin also gets a copy of
notification emails for claims that do not score to alert them to any
problems.

Finally, for those of us in the western hemishpere, we have to be a
little patient. The developers are in Europe, and are usually sleeping
when we are claiming. So if the OLC server has a problem during the
night, we usually have to wait until morning for them to fix it. The
OLC is an all volunteer orginization, and it is not possible to pay
"night operators" to stand by for problems. So if your claim does not
go through right away, go to bed, and check your email in the
morning.

Does that work for CAI files? If so, what is the procedure to be used
when posting such a file? Save as IGC file in SeeYou, then direct post
that? Or just direct post the CAI file? Or something else?

try this link-http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/segelflugszene/

click on gliding
click and pull down worldwide
click on North America
click on date and pull down the correct date

yup, it's a pain but it seems to work


Not a pain, really easy and it worked fine for me. Thanks for the
tips. Far better user interface than when I last posted to OLC early
2006.

I tried to make my first OLC claim on Sunday and Monday for my 3/17/07
flight and I must say it's been a hassle. My claim was declared
"validation not successful". I used a GPS-NAV 20. On Sunday, I
converted the .cai file to .igc using AeroExplorer. I then prepared
the claim in SeeYou. I went to the OLC site and tried to upload by
"Prepared Claim". File was not uploaded. I then tried to upload the
claim through SeeYou. No upload. On Monday, I tried the OLC site
"Direct Claim" method and the .igc file uploaded ok but it was
invalid. I then converted the .cai file to .igc using the Cambridge
DOS program. Deleted the previously uploaded file and uploaded the
new .igc file again using "Direct Claim". Still invalid. The .cai file
passed vali-cam.exe with no problem. I emailed support by replying to
the email I received from the OLC Result Notifier but have not yet
heard anything.

I was uploading files for several people this weekend. The igc files were
from a Volkslogger. I was unsuccessful in submitting the claim directly
thru SeeYou v3.7. I was successful in having SeeYou prepare the claim file
and then uploading it. The first time I tried a couple of them, I got some
long error list screen. I waited a short while and was able to upload
exactly the same file successfully.

The OLC requires some special handling for logs from legacy Cambridge
flight recorders (Model 10, 20, and 25). SeeYou (v3.6 or higher) does
that quite easily if you open the *.cai file directly. It will generate
the *.igc file with the *.cai file encoded and appended onto the end.
The prepared claim should definitely work, not sure if the bugs are out
of the direct claim from SeeYou method yet. But you must open the *.cai
file with SeeYou, not an *.igc file generated by AeroExplorer or the
Cambridge DOS program. The details for doing this manually without
SeeYou are found in item 10 on the Help page (Help button is at bottom
right of OLC page).

This is the same process for OLC 2.0 as last year.
