Hi,

I haven't been following every post in this thread so I may be off base, but
if you want to download IGC approved flight logs from a Volkslogger, why not
use the StrePla software that came with the Volkslogger. SeeYou should be
able to download valid flight logs also. There is no need for a DOS
program.

Hi Paul,

The issue was one of validating a file previously downloaded.

While Strepla may be able to do this, it's not much help to a third
party (such as competition organisers etc.) if they have to go and buy a
copy. Asking the pilot to supply a copy would involve copyright theft,
so is not an answer.

The IGC Flight Recorder specification requires manufacturers to supply
specific freeware. In this instance, a DLL which can be used with the
shell program available free from the IGC website, and in the future
with any third party software.

All manufacturers were required to supply this by 1st July 2004 and yet
here we are in December and the only manufacturer that has complied gave
up manufacturing Flight Recorders some time ago.
