I have noticed this year that my Oudie will upload the task to my Portable PowerFLARM but it will not update the pilot name, glider type, contest I'd Etc. The dialog box on the Oudie during task upload indicates it is sending the glider info but the flarm config file does not get rewritten and the igc file reflects whatever the flarm config file.

Thankfully the Sporting Code is not quite as Nazi-ish about this as they were a few years ago and my OO can certify the glider I was flying on the flight.

Anyone have any idea why this is or if there is anything I can do to get it working correctly again?

do you have a USB stick plugged in? If so, and it has a config file on it, it will re-install the old config file every time you power up.

And uploading the task from Oudie to PowerFLARM triggers a power cycle...so the answer is to not fly with the SD Card Installed...
