Someone recently emailed me a StrePla flight trace that I'd like to look
at. Much to my surprise, it appears not to be an IGC file. Anyone know of a way to convert it without installing StrePla? I *can* do that, but it kind of seems like overkill for something I'll only need once every 2-3 years. Jeremy |

Hi,
I don't believe StrePla uses any different flight log file types. Most fight logs I view in StrePla are IGC files or the older Cambridge .CAI files. What is the file extension of the file you received? Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com "Jeremy Zawodny" wrote in message ...

What is the file extension of the file you received? Paul, It's a .FL2 file. Popping it open in an editor, I see that it's definitely a binary format of some sort. The first ~80 bytes of the file say things like "StrePla2 Flighttrack file" and other recognizable strings (the pilot's name, aircraft tail #, etc). Unfortunately, it's not one of the dozens of formats that SeeYou groks. Jeremy |

Hi,
StrePla imports waypoint files into a database and saves the database containing multiple waypoint files into the .FL2 file. StrePla can "Export" a file from the database as an IGC file. You may want to ask the source of the file to do that for you. Or send the .FL2 file to me and I'll export an IGC file for you.

You could also look at it using the Volkslogger Manager for Windows
(free download: http://www.volkslogger.de/de/VL-Manager.exe ), it is a simplified StrePla. You can import flight data files with the fl2 extension. You can then use it to convert the track file to IGC format (right click on the track information in the track window, then "save igc data on disk"). |

Hi,
Or you could download and install the demo of StrePla. It can probably do it as well. However, it is a moot point now. He sent me the .fl2 file and I opened it in StrePla, exported an IGC file and e-mailed it to him.
