Default OCT bidpacks/Fastbid

I haven't been able to get fastbid to download the oct bidback. I'm guessing it has something to do with the computer problems the company has been having. Anybody else having problems?

1800 central time? I thought that is when it comes out. If I got my clocks right, that is 50 minutes from now.
Or is that just for the 72 and you fly something else.

They are now on the company website. And I just downloaded via Fastbid! Hmmm, but the file keeps crashing Fastbid! Works in BidX though!

Having the same problem. Tried online update from the menu bar and it downloads update 4.22a, but then doesn't do anything else. I'll email author to see what the problem is...

Good chance FastBid will not work, company is using new software and it maybe an issue for Fastbid, or so I have heard !

Mine seemed to download OK......at first.

The pairing data seems to work fine but the Lines are blank.

Hope Jim B. has a few days off.

The problem (as it was splained to me) was that the company's new Bliss software needs data translated via a different format than the old software.
It is Linix or UNIX based versed windows based.

I am no Geek so that meant nothing to me, except that fastbid ain't working.

BidX seems to work! Different interface than Fastbid, but workable!

New FCIF on display problems with the Oct bidpack. I'm guessing that's the cause of the FastBid problem...

From the latest FCIF:
Bidline display errors
FCIF 07-0499 (General)



NOTE: If you have any questions about a specific trip, please refer to
the trip details in the printed bidpack, the text file at pilot.fedex.com, or VIPS.

Would that be the printed bidpack that one guy is going to print out (on his own home printer) and then make copies for everyone else with?
