It is partially, but not completely fixed, which is why the beta testers haven't yet signed this one off - but it's nearly there.

I'm getting a problem with the new Beta.
It installs fine, but when I try and open it, it gets to the 'Loading Framework' stage and then comes up with this alert:
'This is a beta version not allowed to run after Nov 30th 2013. Check for non-beta version online. Application will now close'.

My computer date is set to the correct date and I don't see why it every would have not been.
I can reinstall .0047 again and it all runs fine.

Any ideas?
Mike

[tarbat]

Mike, what country are you in?  What date format does your PC use?  I've reported this as a possible urgent problem to the Airnav Dev team.

[mikek]

I'm in New Zealand. I'm not quite sure what you mean by the date format, but I've just arrived at work and won't be able to check for around another 8 or 9 hours when I'm done for the day...

Thanks
Mike

hoped for a solution for the picture download in this release, ... nope, still get these new style pic formats, even for pics that are already in the folder.
oh well, maybe next time

[tarbat]

Can you give an example.  What do you mean by "new style pic formats".  I didn't think the format of pictures had changed.  Remember, if you want to stop pictures being downloaded, mark the aircraft with AUTOUPDATE = N in Navdata aircraft table.

Updated the database after installing 052 and I don't see high CPU usage and delays when browsing through MyLog/Grids.

What exactly does "251 Port 30003 Issue" fixed means?
I've logged the port 30003 for a few minutes and it still output messages every "Screen refresh rate".
Ex.:
MSG,6,0,0,504DE2,0,2013.10.30,20:46:00.532,2013.10.30,20:46:00.532,,33000,,,,,,6117,0,0,0,0
MSG,5,0,0,504DE2,0,2013.10.30,20:46:10.564,2013.10.30,20:46:10.564,,33000,,,,,,,,,,
...
MSG,6,0,0,504DE2,0,2013.10.30,20:46:10.564,2013.10.30,20:46:10.564,,33000,,,,,,,0,0,0,0
MSG,4,0,0,ABDE34,0,2013.10.30,20:46:20.595,2013.10.30,20:46:20.595,,,501.7,119.9,,,0,,,,,
...
MSG,6,0,0,ABDE34,0,2013.10.30,20:46:20.611,2013.10.30,20:46:20.611,,35000,,,,,,3473,0,0,0,0
MSG,4,0,0,ABDE34,0,2013.10.30,20:46:30.642,2013.10.30,20:46:30.642,,,501.7,119.9,,,0,,,,,

For this example I've set "Screen refresh rate" to 10000ms.

"242 Log and alert sending by using own mail account is not.."
Sending log with own mail account works for only one recipient (as in 047).
Using a yahoo account to send log to yahoo groups (registered with the same account) does not work (as in 047).

Sending log using AirNav mail server is still truncated.
Sending log using own mail account is not truncated (as in 047).

something like this

[tarbat]

So, for the ones where you want it to use the old photo, have you marked  the aircraft in Navdata with AUTOUPDATE = N ?  That's the only way ANRB knows not to download the latest photo.

[vonsmalhausen]

getting a new picture is not the end of the world, but if the "new" picture is one of the plane in the old cs of that company, or before a newly applied sticker ; it causes troubles for what i'm using my RB for : go spotting aircraft at airfields !
ok, the examples I used do not show this ( I just painfully had purged my pic folder from all these errors, GermanWings, Hop! and JetAir, just to mention a couple of them ) but it takes not long to get them back

[vonsmalhausen]

do you sincerely mean I have to change EVERY entry in the DB to "N" to get rid of this ??????????????????
do you know how painful it is to change just one entry in that poor of a excuse "database explorer" ??!!!
and I would have to do this for over 100.000 or what is it entry's, ..... really ??????

[vonsmalhausen]

it even gets better ; now i'm not getting any pictures at all
