  • CUP File Format

    From Dan Marotta@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 6 17:37:52 2022
    Recently I have been unable to upload a CUP file to Skysight so I no
    longer see my turnpoints. Matthew has been working with me but it
    appears that the problem is on my end.

    I tried downloading a new turnpoint file from the Turnpoint Exchange and
    it comes with a HND suffix which does not work for Skysight. It doesn't
    work for ClearNav, either.

    I used to be able to download CUP and STX files directly from the
    Turnpoint Exchange. What haplpened?

    Visit for example: https://soaringweb.org/TP/Moriarty_contest/files.html
    And choose any of the "SeeYou" files, which is the byname for the CUP file format. I confirmed that this CUP file does appear to be valid. Email me via the usual if you have any problems.

    Thanks Matthew! But...

    The plot thickens. Skysight is still not working as it was a few days
    ago. So I did a bit of troubleshooting and substitution and here's what
    I found: On my primary setup, a laptop running Ubuntu Linux and Brave
    browser, it stopped working a few days ago. It works just fine on a
    Windows 10 laptop running Brave. And, on my Linux laptop, it works just
    fine with a Chrome browser so I guess an update to Brave must be the
    culprit.

    The HND suffix is the "Dick-Johnson Special" for HaND entry of data into whatever device you want by hand; I doubt that it would work for importing directly into most devices. If you are still having problems PM me @ john.leibacher.wstx@gmail.com
