OLC comment, MOP logging deactivated

If you're implying LX gets some kind of special treatment for their sponsorship, that seems unsupported by the recent events with their devices being blocked from uploading traces?

LX is the only company who has devices for putting flights into OLC if you have a FES system. The others don't have. My logger does have an engine detection system, which perfectly detects my FES, but it is not accepted by OLC since this year. This is a bit suspicious in my opinion.

Good day all, before the season start I downloaded the Flarm verion 6.83 and it installed ok.
We just started flying and my declaration is in light grey as the OLC system decla Autocomment: Used Aircraft is FES glider, but MOP logging deactivated.
I looked in my flarm info and the licences present in my flarm include " ENL ".

Any bodie know what this OLC comment refer to

Many Thanks in advance and fly safely

I updated firmware on S10 and MOP2, and FES flight logs now accepted by OLC..

However, I agree with Luka, a current sensor is not needed for a ENL FR and the FES. My flight logs from my ClearNav Vario FR definitely detect operation of the FES, even at low power readings.

Yet you look at the Jeffrey Banks file from May 29, he tested at low
power and nothing registered on the ENL. A system needs to work all the
time, not some of the time.

This is the OLC, not the world championships. There's no official observer of the pilot or even the type of aircraft. If I set my glider type to a T21 and fly an EB29 I can also cheat.

Why is this standard not applied to jets - often not detected even at full power, or even petrol engines? You can wrap a Nano in some foam and put it in a box and I bet it won't detect a rotary engine.

Perhaps Jeffrey has a suboptimal install, and he should fix that.

Perhaps the problem the OLC is trying to solve is installations that appear to
show full power properly, but can not detect low power operation, as appears to be
case in Jeff's Silent.

Why do we care what OLC says, anyway?Â* Why so many rules, when there's
nothing to be gained other than frustration when one's flight is
rejected.Â* I have yet to see any trophies, cash or the ubiquitous hot
chicks flowing from any flight.Â* As stated above, this is not world
competition, only the place where, it seems, most glider pilots post
their flights.Â* I keep posting on OLC only out of habit in case any of
my friends are interested.

I recall back in the 90s when we had a map posted on the club house wall
and we would use stick pins and string to show our flights if we felt we
had made a good one.
