flywithCE FR 100

Is any one else using this device for flight recording
and posting of the flight on OLC?
My flights seem not to be authenticated.

3.1 Documentation
Flights are documented exclusively with GPS flight recorders. There are two validation levels:
i) With IGC-approved flight recorders (green V icon in the info window).
The flight data (files) must have been created by an IGC-approved flight recorder.
ii) With position recorders approved only for the OLC (blue V icon in the info window). These are all other GPS position recorders which can be read by OLC-approved software.

IGC-approved flight recorders are required for the documentation of flights for league and speed scorings. In the case of flights with motor gliders, the flight data must include a record of the engine running time (ENL).
An up-to-date list of the units which may be used for the OLC can be found on the OLC web site(http://static.onlinecontest.org/file...-recorder.pdf).

When you open it, FlywithCE XFW gives blue V icon... so it should work for basic OLC. You might not get a valid flight for a motorglider (I assume DG400?)... or for league and speed OLCs.

I'd e-mail Tony F at cdnolc (at) rogers (dot) com and check with him since he's the man for us up here.

Cheers,
Dan

Your IGC file from the FR100 look like they are missing G records, I expect he OLC will want that... The one I looked at had no G records. You are probalby downloading them wrong.

Are you using the latest FR100 drivers (version 1.7.0) - it looks from the file like you are using 1.1.0.0?

Finally, on their FAQ, the factory writes:
Flights are not recognized by OLC. What should I do?
"OLC still uses the old validation program, which was prepared for flyWithCE Navigator. Because of that new flights are not recognized. Until they would not integrate the latest version 2.0 (or later) of the validation program you should select option Old IGC signature which you can find in Options dialog on Program tab."

So, check "Old IGC signature" box - see this on page 32 of the current manual if you have not already.

Good luck.
