Alerts with ARNB 2009

[tarbat]

Might be interesting to see if you still get missing alerts with network flights turned off.  We already know there's a problem with routes when aircraft transition from network to hardware local, and maybe there's a similar problem with alerts.  For example, if you've got network alerts turned off, and the aircraft first appears as a network flight and then transitions to hardware local, maybe it doesn't alert.

I'll check further.  Once again, thankyou for your time.

I must say that I use the Alerts system extensively, particularly to follow military flights.  As I tend to be sitting in front of the screen most of the time too, I've never seen the Alerts to fail.  The way I use alerts is with plenty of wildcard entries, I don't tend to use the "range from overhead function, but I do use all the others - SSR, Mode S, Registration, Flight ID.

I have the Network traffic turned on most of the time, but not always - and this makes no difference to the alerts.

I'm not sure that I understand what the problem is here, but it's almost certain to be something simple.

Are you hitting the return key after the last entry?  I don't do this, I just come out of the entry box after putting in the details.

The only issue I have with alerts is doubles but I would prefer that to missing something.

9M-ISJ.  To help diagnose the problem maybe you can post what RB has put in the registry for your alerts.  They're stored in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Airnav Systems\ANRB\1\General\memoxtext

Will do in a moment.... on another box right now.

Really would like to get this working

[Allocator]

Well, I didn't know that!

Just a few alert entries at the moment.

Not sure how to cut and paste the whole file....  but the above is lifted from memo3

[tarbat]

Nothing obviously strange with that list, other than it is very long.  Maybe RB has a problem with so many registrations.  Were these all typed in manually, or did you paste them into Radarbox?

Anyway, to eliminate other causes, any chance of answering previous questions about other problems you've had - they may be connected to the alerts problem:
1. Is the problem on your Vista or Mac system?
2. Are you still using AVG, and if so, have you set-up exceptions for RB in both the Program Files and the Virtual Store?
3. Are you still having problems with the File menu not appearing?
4. Is RB still shutting itself down totally after 3 or 4 days?

[9M-ISJ]

Hi,

The list was typed in manually.

The machine running RB is a dedicated XP machine - it is used for nothing else.

I do have AVG on it, not sure what you mean by setting exceptions? (I have done so with the firewall)

Yes I am still seeing the file menu not working after about 6 hours of working.

Yes RB does still shut down after a few days (or last night after about 12 hours - first time its done that)

[tarbat]

There's a chance that all these problems are caused by not having AVG exceptions setup.  For details on how to set this up, see the FAQ at http://www.airnavsystems.com/forum/index.php?topic=1764

[9M-ISJ]

OK, I have done that... lets see how things go for a while and I will shout back.

Thanks!!

[Blackthorn]

I still get the menu lockups and have uninstalled AVG so I don't believe they are related issues.

[9M-ISJ]

Menu lock up I can live with, by the time it shows up I have things set how I want them, and all other things I want to do (reorder aircraft list, switch back and forth from local to network ect can be done without it)

Fingers crossed it sorts the Alerts though
