Default SeeYou ConnectMe question

If I install ConnectMe on my PDA to communication with my Cambridge
Model 20 Flight Recorder, will I get an IGC format file complete with
G-Record acceptable to the OLC for scoring (or with .CAI file appended
to the end of the record)?

I'm really getting sick of having to create multiple instances of
flight records just to fiddle around with DOS in order to be able to
submit to the OLC...

Erik,

I get a valid IGC file downloading from my Colibri, the Cambridge
GPS-NAV is supported. I don't know about the Model 20.

Anyway, ConnectMe is free. Download it and try.

Sounds like the real problem is that 20th century Cambridge doorstop
you are trying to use!

Just kidding - it is getting to be a bit of a nightmare to make
everything work together...I've been using a DOS emulator on my PDA to
download .igc files from my SN10 (good enough for a blue smiley on
OLC).

Good luck, hope to see your flights on OLC soon.

Actually, I've been practicing the tried and true method of dealing
with these sorts of issues - avoidance :-) I have a Garmin GPSMAP76
that I use as a backup to my primary system. It works just fine if
you use either SeeYou or G7ToWin to download. Doesn't get me points
on the worldwide OLC, but all we in Aero Club Albatross really care
about is kicking some butt against those jokers in Arizona Soaring
Association (know anyone who fits that description). Have posted some
good flights already this year.

Yeah, I know some of those guys ;-)

Been there, done that, still got the ASA t-shirts!

Now I'm TDY to flyover country trying to kickstart some slacker
gliderpilots in the St Louis area to start logging OLC points.

Uphill struggle so far, but the potential is there (posted some OLC
flights this weekend).

Odd for a desert rat to look out and see wet fields, snow in the
ditches, and hit 10 knots at cloudbase!

Hey I resemble that remark! We flew under overcast skies (reminded me of my
old east coast MASA flying Erik!) yesterday for a measily 227 kms....even
Kirk flew farther in the stinking midwest for God's sake! Anyway once the
ridge days quit for you guys, the 10 kt Arizona thermals begin and when we
go to Ely in mass in July look out!!! ASA RULES! What we both need to
worry about are those hosers in Moriarty that don't have real jobs and fly
all week long!
