Tuno,
I was just looking at a flight one of your ASA buddies (YB - yellow belly?) made on Saturday. Noticed it was truncated on the OLC display while they were still several thousand feet in the air. Downloaded the *.igc file, and the rest of the flight was there in the B records, all the way to landing. SeeYou could show the whole flight and came up with a much longer distance. I don't have a way to check the appended *.cai file, but it could be truncated on the server. I have had an incomplete upload of a file in the past, without any understandable error message, or obvious way to recover. That would explain the security failure reported. Could also be because the B records in the igc file were edited. Don't know what the OLC server does when it finds B records that don't match whats in the appended *.CAI file. It could stop processing the log right there. Tweaking the B records in the file is a no-no and will cause a security failure with these secure log files. Either might explain your error messages. You could try re-uploading as mentioned earlier in this thread with a modified file name. -Dave Leonard ZL Bob S wrote: wrote: 2NO wrote: I get: "Valid waypoints reached in the present flight trace (IGC-file) are printed in green.

Bob,
That was one of the first things I tried, but got the same results. Still stuck, and have just a few hours left ... ted/2NO |

There's a nice how-to .pdf document on the 1-26 Association web site he
http://www.126association.org/docs/OLC.pdf Has lots of good tips for a trouble-free upload. Credits to Tom Pressley and B. Resor and others. Jim "Roy Clark, B6" wrote in message oups.com... I am a firm supporter of the OLC; L wrote an article for my club newsletter and gave a presentation at our monthly meeting using a modification of Reiner's 2005 SSA OLC one. However, I'm having a dickens of a time uploading my flight traces to the OLC. Use a Cambridge GPS Model 20 and L-NAV. Extract *.cai file from GPS. Use the protocol suggested by OLC to convert and tag the traces. Can't get *.igc file accepted by OLC using either SeeYou or OLC Flight Claim methods. The OLC helper has been able to get my traces on OLC. But, he and I would rather spend the time doing more fun things! And, I'm not alone out here in Ephrata. I watch my soaring buddies with Cam 20 GPS go through the same frustration. None of us are computer geeks, but we are far from newbies (my first home "PC" was a Timex 1000). My buddies are engineers with lots of computer "hands on" experience. Anyone having better success and would share their step by step method? Could send to me by e-mail unless others are having the same problem. |

Thanks Dave. Where did you find YB's flight to download?! And which one
did you find? I've uploaded four versions and can't find them anywhere (have never got to the page with the "Claim Flight" button). Hack hack hack -ted/2NO |

I just tried again with a log file from YB's SN10, but I now get this
error message: "The flight can not be scored, because it is outside the claim time window. The flight is in the BHC claim window. It may be possible to claim it there." I thought we had until midnight local time Tuesday for uploads? *Sigh* time for a beer. -eltedro/2NO |

I have wondered about this "midnight local time" rule. How does a
server in Germany know our local time in the USA, where we have multiple time zones? Is the deadline really midnight on the East Coast? Midnight in Germany? Midnight in Greenwich? Just another OLC issue that is not clear from their website. 2NO wrote: I just tried again with a log file from YB's SN10, but I now get this error message: "The flight can not be scored, because it is outside the claim time window.

It was right there on the May 7 Daily score page. 557c2242.igc Its gone now.
Deadline must be midnight EST for the whole US? Kind of annoying. 2NO wrote: Thanks Dave. Where did you find YB's flight to download?! And which one did you find?

I tried submitting My YB flight vis See You 3.1 and it worked the first time. The CAI Model 20 is going in for service. Hope we don't all have to go thru this again. It was a fun flight, but submitting it took more tiome than the 333 miles! |

Wonderful to hear, Paul!
