Looks like new interesting project for storing IGC flights. I think prehistoric OLC needs some fresh blood competition. WiFi download of flights straight from LX computers again this summer?

The presentation is very good, and I prefer it to the OLC presentation, but I think a bigger
issue is we have too many places to send IGC files. I wish the sites would coordinate, so a
flight posted on one would automatically post on the others, at the selection of the pilot.
Perhaps, this could accomplished with a web site that accepts a flight log, then automatically
uploads it to other sites that pilot has selected. That way, a pilot could make a single
posting the goes to, say, four flight display sites. This might also fix the LXNav posting
issue to OLC.

I am trying out WeGlide this season. Had my first flight yesterday. Posted my flight log to WeGlide last night. About 18 hours later I got an email from OLC Result Notifier about the same flight. How did that happen? I didn't post my flight to OLC, only to WeGlide. Are OLC copying flights from WeGlide to keep themselves looking relevant? Or are WeGlide uploading to OLC too?


Funny. Now (an hour after I posted the above here) my flight has vanished from OLC. No I don't think I was hallucinating :-)
