I'm using Firefox when I see 2 or 3 flights on the page. I tried with IE and can see 5 flights, but still no where near what was visible in the 2..0 layout.

Still don't like it - not one bit.

Dan,
To revert back to the future (newer version) replace the "3" in the URL to "3". Worked for me. Cut and paste:

....ahem, I meant replace the "2" in the URL address with "3"

Thanks.Â* So 3.0 in the URL gets you version 2.0.Â* Clever Germans...

If we can get the owners of Glideport.aero to publish points for each flight I think that OLC will become obsolete.
The graphics and utility of Glideport is sooo much better than OLC.

I find the Glideport display rather hard to figure out, and slow on non-fast connections (at least until one takes out the 3D window), but it does have some nice features. OLC-type score calculation seems to be implemented within other software, such as Tophat/XCsoar, thus it could also be embedded within Glideport.

There is growing functional overlap between at least these three services: OLC, glideport.aero, and glidernet.org. I suspect that (1) not all of them will survive more than a few more years, and (2) there will be some wailing and gnashing of teeth in the process. It is also quite possible that the world will go one way, and a certain large country that considers itself exceptional will go another way.

Talking about Glideport and some alternative data communication methods, is it legal in the USA to have a cellphone talk to the cell towers from a flying aircraft?

It's been pointed out to me that there is also crosscountry.aero - so make that four overlapping services at the least.

I’ve been using crosscountry.aero in addition to OLC for years. It’s main advantage is a comprehensive electronic log book which does not exist anywhere else as far as I know. I highly recommend it.

Well, then, take a look at skylines.aero, too.Â* I use it for keeping up
my logs since I have the opportunity to choose the units used. It
appears to use the OLC rules but in a much friendlier package.
