Hi Greg,


Are you certain that works?


Yep, I upload all flights for a friend who has an old CAI logger. *Works
perfectly.

I wouldn't think it would. I thought the

.igc file was only attached when SeeYou was used to upload to the OLC.


It is my understanding that the best solution is to open the .cai file
in either SeeYou or StrePla and then use them to upload directly to the
OLC from within SeeYou or StrePla. They automatically create and attach
a (non-secure) .igc file to the secure .cai file before uploading to the
OLC.


I tried that a few years ago. *I may be misremembering, but I thought it
didn't work.

I am having a problem using the OLC convertor program that is

Any suggestions?

Open the CAI file in SeeYou, then save it as an IGC file. Then use OLC
Direct Claim to upload the saved IGC file.- Hide quoted text -

For me StrePla does not open.CAI files (Flight Tracks / Import) and
cai2igc4olc doesn't convert .CAI files in Windows 7. I've tried both
in the Compatability Mode using Windows XP (Sp2). Am I out of luck or
is there a better idea out there somwhere.
