I fly with the sample rate on my VL set to give me about 9+
hours of data recording. That's sufficient for two normal
flights, and I usually dump it after every flight. However,
the thing begins complaining about low memory when it has 8
hours left, and it keeps complaining every few minutes. It
beeps and puts a message on that interrupts the display I
want to see. A few weeks ago it beeped about memory just as
I hit a turn, and I missed the turn beeps. I've tried
turning off warnings, but I can't seem to get this annoyance
fixed. Can anyone point me in the right direction?


Set the sample rate to one very 10 to 12 seconds or so. Even 20 isn't
unreasonable and this problem goes away. The sample rate automatically
increases in the OZ anyway. There is no really good reason to sample
more than 5 or 6 times a minute except in the OZ. Reduces download
time and file size too.

If this feature was permanently disabled people would complain about
running out of memory without warning and it has to be set for 8 hours
or so to capture 99% of flights which might be done with the warning
up.
