Hello All,
I have been unable to load my LX7000 pro IGC which came in my new glider. I have a serial cable and a Windows Vista computer and have been able to establish contact between the two, but I have not been able to upload airspace or turnpoint files to the computer. I have sent the following to LX Navigation as I've read here that they are very responsive, but this group is also responsive so I'm asking for help.
To LX Navigation
I just bought a glider with an LX7000 pro IGC system and I received no software or instructions with the instrument. I have downloaded LXe and LXas Browser and the USA Airspace and Turnpoints from your website. So far, I have been unable to load any data into the 7000 using the DIN serial cable and a Windows Vista computer.
When I try to run LXE I get the following:
Warning!
LXE... can't be run while database is not installed!
Install Airspace & Airports database!
the latest DB on HTTP://www.lxnavigation.si/database.htm
I have downloaded USA.af and USA-C15.CUB and I have these databases in the same folder as LXE. Do I need other programs which are not downloaded from your website? The LXE manual refers to a CDROM. Can that be downloaded? Until I get these programs all to work together and load data into my flight computer, it is of no use for soaring other than the variometer, which works very nicely!
So, can anyone on RAS enlighten me as to what I'm missing?

Hi Dan,
The error message below means that you haven’t installed the database that
is tied to LXe. The latest one is from 2009 – unfortunately. You run
the install program from the link below after installing LXe.
Once you get LXe running it is possible to use their LXAsBrowser to create
new airspace files. It is not easy, but I have created many of them for
customers. You use LXe to transfer the airspace file to the LX7000.
Unfortunately, .cub file created for and with SeeYou can’t be used in the
LX7000. Only LXAsBrowser can create the files. It is available
here:
Give me a call sometime and we can setup a support session. I can
help you get it working.
Best Regards,
Paul Remde

Thanks, Paul.
I'll try your suggestions and give you a call if I'm still unsuccessful.
