LXNAV S100 calibration and firmware question

Ron. Thanks for the suggestion. At the top of Craggy’s LXNAV page is the warning not to download LXNAV files with an Apple product. That solves the firmware problem.

Glad that worked for you. I've downloaded LXNAV files to my Apple MacBookPro many times and they always worked for me. Anyway, whatever works for you is what is important.

Almost every time some one calls about a firmware problem with LXNAV & PowerFlarm it is because they tried to download with an Apple Computer or and Apple computer with a Windows emulator.

And the new PowerFLARM 6.60 firmware fixes that mac compatibility issue, but the irony is folks are having trouble upgrading to that using a Mac :-)

For now with a Mac you can manually remove the unneeded hidden files that the Mac is putting on the USB stick, they are throwbacks to old Mac compatibility resource fork crap. Deleting the hidden files affects nothing, just makes the FLARM update work. Easiest way is to use the Terminal.app on the Mac to find and remove any ._filename.ext hidden files (e.g. ls ._* to see them). If needed find a kid who knows UNIX/linux to help you, take then for a glider ride in return.

I am not as versed in electrons as most engineers on this site, so what I am saying is more visceral. I have been a Mac user since 1984, with just a few brief virus, trojan, and ransom filled forays into the PC world. When I got back into gliding after a 15 year hiatus, the instruments and software had developed to the Piont I now needed to access the data. Thought about using the Mac, but then for with little research I purchased a Levono 900 used for $400. Macs are expensive and I didn't want to expose it to the desires and diseases of the other side of the tracks

Is there an Apple/Mac simulator that runs on a PC?

Put a Linux like Ubuntu on your PC. Fast, stable, secure, and free.
