Default powerflarm display track file download

I used to be able to download track files from my powerflarm rectangular butterfly display by inserting a usb, pressing the button and then pressing again on the "flarm" status and again on "log download" without turning the unit off. It no longer does this now I have to power off the unit insert a usb and power back on and wait. Its not a lot longer but it was convenient to do it while still up and running. Any one else noticed this?

When was the last time you reinstalled the Butterfly firmware? 1's and 0's can go astray... Also, that could be a sign of a corrupt USB stick; check for damage using Windows disk check utility and repair damage (if found). If I suspect a USB stick, I generally format it (but move important things to backup first).

My Butterfly display still downloads IGC files as before. I have had to change USB sticks to make this happen.
