Default Flarmnet problems on Flarmview

I noticed in Flarmview-1 manual it is as you stated but in the Flarmview-2 manual it just says -

 Please visit http://www.flarmnet.org
 Download file for LXNAV (LX8000, LX8080, LX9000) or click on following link: http://www.flarmnet.org/files/lxfile.php
 FLN type file will be downloaded.
 Copy flarm.fln file to SD card of FlarmView2.

It does not mention the conversion program or renaming ???

Just installed a Flarm Core with a Flarmview2 display. Installed the Flarmnet file after running it thru the converter required by LXNav and not getting IDs. My partner also installed the same file on his Flarmview1 with the same result. Is anyone else having this same problem?


What did you name the converted file? IIRC it must be flarm.flx. The converter will happily allow you to give the file other names, which won't work.
