Last month I updated my Flarm firmware but forgot to update flarmnet.

I use a ClearNav and so I downloaded data.fln but it's been a while
since I updated the ClearNav and they don't seem to have the forum on
their new website.

So, could someone tell me; do I simply place data.fln on a USB stick
with the proper executable for updates instaled and load it into the
ClearNav or is there more to it?

What about my PowerFarm portable? I didn't see anything on the Flarm
website.

Wonder why he continually refers to the ".FLN" file as the .FNL" file?

Dyslexics untie!

Thanks to all who responded.

I had already updated my PF portable and watching the video reminded me
of how to update my ClearNav. I also found the ".bfn" file for my
FlarmView. Now I might be able to see my friends call signs rather than
their ICAO codes.

Well, it wasn't a .bfn file for the Flarmview, it was just a different
..fln file. And, after loading it on the SD card in the Flarmview, I had
to navigate through a series of menus to find "Convert fln to flx". I
think that should work, but I'll have to wait until the next soaring day.

That should work. You might verify the file name is "flarm.flx". Of
course there's firmware you might want to update:
