First and second generation Flytec varios with integrated GPS (Series 5000 and 6000, Bräuniger IQ Competino / IQ Compeo as well as IQ Basic GPS / IQ Competino+ / IQ Compeo+) use a so-called USB-to-serial interface for their communication with a computer. This requires the installation of a driver on the computer, which is available from the website of Prolific, the developer of USB-to-serial chips:

For Microsoft Windows: Prolific PL2303 Windows Driver Download

I am using the PL2303MacOSXv1.6.020151022.pkg version of the Prolific driver, which I got off the prolific.com.tw website. The Console app is useful for seeing the logs, and filtering for the string “2303”, to see if this is failing or not when I plugged in the device. Open source drivers are included in Linux kernels 2.6.11 and later. These have support for the Prolific 2303 chipset, and recognize the plug and play IDs of the Plugable adapter. Other Platforms: The adapter uses the standard USB Prolific VID and PID of 0×2303, which is recognized by all of Prolific’s standard drivers.

The download contains instructions. If there are issues with the driver installation, we recommend to follow the steps at the end of the instructions and to uninstall the driver, restart the computer and re-install the driver.

Third generation varios (Flytec Element, Flytec Connect 1, etc.) work without such a driver. These devices register on the computer as a mass storage device, allowing file-based data exchange.

Flytec varios and Windows 8 or Windows 10

With Microsoft’s release of Windows 8 and later 8.1, access to flight data or configuration of older Flytec devices through a USB cable is no longer working. The manufacturer of the USB/Serial converter chip took the opportunity with Windows 8 to enforce a generation change of his products. But in the meantime we can offer a solution:

Flytec 5020 / 5030 / 6010 Series 1 (Bräuniger IQ Competino / IQ Compeo / IQ One+ Series 1)

Those devices communicate with a PC through an external USB/Serial converter. The newest generation of these converters, which are available from us now, is also compatible with Windows 8.x and later

Flytec 6010 Series 2 / 6015 / 6020 / 6030 (Bräuniger IQ One+ Series 2 / IQ Basic GPS / IQ Competino+ / IQ Compeo+)

Here, the USB/Serial converter is built-in as a chip. New devices, which are ordered from us as of today, are already equipped with the newest version of this chip, and therefore compatible with Windows 8.x and later. All existing devices can be upgraded. Within the warranty period, it is for free. For older devices, the upgrade costs CHF/EUR/USD 45, and includes a complete cleaning and a firmware update.

Updates for 6010 / 6015 (IQ One+ / IQ Basic GPS) can be performed by any of our Naviter Repair Centres.

The update for 6020 / 6030 / 6040 (IQ Competino+ / IQ Compeo+) is offered by:
