"My support for OLC has ended because your support of my logger has
ended. *My support of you will resume when your support of me
resumes."

Yes, I know. *We have all been through the discussions about files,
standard formats, acceptable means of blah blah blah. *Money talks.
If OLC looses too much support (and I know they are losing some), but
has it dangled back in front of them, maybe there would be motivation
for what on the surface appears to be a relatively easy thing to check
for and accept. *I know they have very sharp people working for them.
I can't imagine it would take them too long to figure out how to
accept and validate a standard .cai file for their scoring purposes.

Your random thoughts?

I'm with you guys 100%. It's absolutely ridiculous, and a testament
to soaring existing as a "1%" sport, that my $100 android phone with
free software can submit an acceptable file, yet my model 20 isn't
approved (though it was a few months ago, whats up with that?) and to
get an acceptable gps logger, I have to pay a minimum of $500.
Believe it or not, some of us are on a budget. I'll sooner draw lines
on a map to show my route than drop even more money just so I can post
my flight on OLC. I wonder how many guys out there use Cambridge
stuff? It was a staple in soaring avionics for so long, it's got to
be a decent percentage.
