Ladies and Gentlemen:
I've had a recurring technical issue with my FlyWithCE flight recorder purchased a couple of weeks ago, and wanted to see if others had had the same experience and could offer a possible cause or solution. Last Saturday and this Saturday, I flew flights of just under 500KM and just under 600KM, respectively. The latter was good enough for diamond goal and return and distance, but of course the EW died on the way out there also. Both were out of Jean, NV (GMT+7). Upon downloading the flights, I was surprised to find that both flights were cleanly split into two separate logs each, at exactly Zulu changeover (1700 local). It gets more interesting... all data post- Zulu changeover seems to have been stamped with the date previous to the one I flew! Here are the examples. The first flight was taken on 20 June. http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0...htId=109146687 And here's the second section of that flight, incorrectly stamped 19 June: http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0...htId=109355395 Here is the first section of my 27 June flight: http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0...htId=627288331 And the second section, incorrectly dated 26 June: http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0...htId=627122754 Both flights, I had a fresh set of batteries, and the logger was kept cool, shaded by the Kestrel's turtle deck. It received and excellent signal all day, and the actual position of the aircraft doesn't seem to have been corrupted at all. Has anyone else had these issues? Is there any way of telling if it's a hardware (logger) or software (downloading software) issue? I've corresponded with Uros at FlyWithCE, and he's working towards a solution but hasn't found the particular reason for this yet. The logger is an excellent idea, and could really get large groups of normal pilots (me) out there flying distance. I also understand that, as a new product, there are bound to be bugs. I just wish the bugs allowed the distance to be counted as LONGER than actual! I guess it's also possible that Uros has created a time machine. If so, maybe it will take me back to the 1980s. http://www.hulu.com/watch/8729/napol...e-time-machine Mark OZ |
