PowerFLARM Files not valid with OLC

[Tim Taylor]

I have had two flights in a row come back with Purple Validation rather than green. So far no explanation from the OLC guys why this is happening.

Very odd thing is that OLC is changing my file names each time they are uploaded.

Tonight I uploaded 36GG8E1.igc and the OLC site renames the file to 36GD8E1.igc, it has done the same thing on my last few PowerFLARM files.

I have run the files through the FAI validation webpages and the files are fine.

Anyone else having similar problem or an explanation?

The OLC not only changes the name but also the contents. When you download your own files you won't get back what you've previously uploaded, but instead you get back an invalid file...

OLC acknowledged they have a bug in FLARM OLC validation on

This is nice. I have asked for help on line. No help so far. This really takes away from having a good league contest when valid files are not counted.

same here. I had several flights in Ephrata with green/green, then the last few flights had green/blue. still OLC valid but not IGC valid, no biggy for me but was curious why this happened.

Still blue on Friday. Another great weekend for gold league.
