Is any one else using this device for flight recording
and posting of the flight on OLC?
My flights seem not to be authenticated.

3.1 Documentation
Flights are documented exclusively with GPS flight recorders. There are two validation levels:
i) With IGC-approved flight recorders (green V icon in the info window).
The flight data (files) must have been created by an IGC-approved flight recorder.
ii) With position recorders approved only for the OLC (blue V icon in the info window). These are all other GPS position recorders which can be read by OLC-approved software.

IGC-approved flight recorders are required for the documentation of flights for league and speed scorings. In the case of flights with motor gliders, the flight data must include a record of the engine running time (ENL).
An up-to-date list of the units which may be used for the OLC can be found on the OLC web site(http://static.onlinecontest.org/file...-recorder.pdf).

When you open it, FlywithCE XFW gives blue V icon... so it should work for basic OLC. You might not get a valid flight for a motorglider (I assume DG400?)... or for league and speed OLCs.

I'd e-mail Tony F at cdnolc (at) rogers (dot) com and check with him since he's the man for us up here.

Cheers,
Dan
