Hi
After almost 2 weeks of extensive work by our development team (especially Aleksey) we have V3.03 ready for download. All the reported problems were corrected. Note that we had to touch and change some core programming which could (remotely) affect the performance of the application.
Download V3.03 from:
http://www.airnavsystems.com/download/anrb/beta/anrb.exe
To keep the testing work organized please send us your feedback before this Wednesday as we would like to release this Beta to the public this Thursday night.

Don't know if this is a bug, or user/config error, but I got the following alert shortly after I started the new version for the first time.

Interestingly in the Alert panel the "flight id" tick box is checked, but there are no flight numbers in there. fwiw I haven't received these "blank" alerts before.

Something seems to have changed with the port 30003 data output, although I haven't quite worked out what it is yet.
JSTARS seems to be getting multiple hits on the same aircraft over and over again - not a RadarBox problem in itself, but an indication that something has changed.
Edit: Might have been a 'glitch' as it seems to have settled down now. Just about to go out, so I'll look at this further this evening.
-
I'm also see a flood of ID messages feeding into MilModeSLogger. See all the duplicates in this example for UAL929.

Hi
I have been running v3.03 for about 1.30 hrs and finding it very unstable compared to v3.02.
When I first started it up I left it for a while and the screensaver kicked in, when I tried to go back to normal, the RB screen was just blank and nothing showing.
As time went on, Things just did not seem right - when using the menu's they were getting slower and clicking between tabs (my flights, network, smartview, alerts) everything was hanging, to the point were in the end RB just came to a halt with the Not responding text.
Don't now what the 2/3 things you found to change - but for me v3.02 was far more stable and worked better than this one.
-
I installed v3.03 last night. This morning I'm still getting the missing route data problem. G-LGNA this morning was transmitting FlightID LOG49GA. There's an entry in the route table for LOG49GA, but still that route data didn't appear in MyLog.
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3877615462_cc353890c2_o.jpg)
Same goes for at least two other Loganair flights this morning, both aircraft transmitting a FlightID that is in the routes table, but no route displayed.
- LOG36KP
- LOG09BT
Only appears to affect non-ADS/B aircraft.
-
Menus are okay for me and no lock-ups.
Comes out the screensaver okay but crashes after sleep.
I notice the myflights list is nice and stable if I select an aircraft it stays selected when the list updates this was not always the case before.

After my earlier problems, I have been running the RB for about 2hrs and it seems to behaving itself now, came out of the screensaver ok and not hanging between Tabs.
Will test some more tomorrow morning when I am home again.

I've run the v3.03 beta now for approx. 14 hours without any lockups, etc. Into both standby and hibernate without any problems. Seems reliable enough, just the problems with port 30003 and the missing routes data.
-
Running the Beta V3.03 on the laptop now and everything seems to be OK although I still have my doubts about the port 30003 output, particularly after tarbat's observations. JSTARS is definitely not as happy, giving me multiple alerts for single aircraft and occasionally locking up.
Also, it takes a little while for RB to return from full-screen mode, initially only showing the RB main window frame without the map or lists, but this might just be a laptop graphics issue - it does come back but it takes about 5 seconds to build the screen and list.
-
Just now I caught a new aircraft, an A318 LAN Ecuador that was not in my MyLogs and it was not included. Appeared in the area of MyFlights, but was not registered in my MyLogs and not in my Reporter. I'm with the Auto-Populate cleared. Has anyone noticed this problem?
-
The problem of Network Aircraft jumping around on the grid seems to be solved. Great!
Just the disappearing of the lightining (white circle around tracked aircraft etc) keeps bothering me a bit , but this jumping around was the main issue I guess.
Frank
-
Agreed, Frank - it was a real problem for me, but now the grid is rock solid. As with you, the "focus" on the selected aircraft on the map does disappear.It would be nice if that could be fixed, but I can live with it.
But having routes in the routes table, with recent dates, but not showing up on the grid or map, is very frustrating. My feeling is that the situation is better than it was before (more routes are showing), but it certainly could be better.
I think the ball's in Andre's court on that one.

Fixed problem with multi-stop routes that did not appear in previous versions.
Here's an example of the flight GOL7650 SBCF-SBGR-SBFL-SBPA-SAEZ
-
There is definately something seriously wrong with the way routes are being save to MyLog.
The attached CSV file is my log of flights from today, just listing those that have a FlightID.
The columns in this list are:
MyLog.Flights.Registration
MyLog.Flights.Callsign
MyLog.Flights.Route
NavData.Routes.FN
NavData.Routes.NO
NavData.Routes.ND
NavData.Routes.NV
NavData.Routes.CH
There is widespread discrepancy between the route saved in Mylog vs. the route in the routes table. Sometimes completely the wrong route is being saved, and other times no route is being saved.
EDIT: Can anyone else spot the pattern to these errors?

I was wrong, the problems were back this morning firstly the screen saver problem - Restarted RB. I have now had it on all morning and the menu's are slow and tabs are hanging - at the moment smartview is only showing half of it, with alerts on the btm half.
See Screenshot below
This problem was not there in v3.02, there has been something changed within this version to have caused this problem.

I'm getting some odd matches between Mode-s codes and Flight ID's - much like John Racars on the main forum -here are two examples pasted together to save space.
Rod

I found a problem with the Reporter of flights. What has happened is that the flights raised after the 00:00 UTC are not being registered in the Reporter. For example, after the 00:00 UTC if I select the "Today's entries" did not yield any flight, even if they spent several minutes or even hours the next day. To regenerate the Reporter, I have to turn off the RadarBox and reconnect.
Someone is trying this problem with version 3.03?
-
Can anyone else confirm that NEW routes ADDED to the routes table with this version have a COMMA added on the end?

Can anyone else confirm if they're seeing route data missing in MyLog. Here's an example from a few minutes ago.

I obviously don't delve as deeply as some of you guys here with regard to logs etc. as my priority is just to get a clean, stable program but I have just had my first hung app for a long time.
Totally unscientific I know but I noticed the msgs/sec had 'frozen' and so I tried to access the menu but it did not work.
Looked at TaskManager and ANRB was reported as 'Not responding' so had to end the program.
I rebooted @ 17:30 and will keep my eye on it as it could be just an isolated incident.

Tarbat - I can confirm the comma - it's been there since a version that I got from Aleksey on 30th August.
Well spotted - I hadn't noticed it and I've been looking at the table regularly!
Rod
-
Rod, I only noticed it while trying to diagnose the other routes problem - been running a debug version for Aleksey.
-
Yes, I'm getting them too, but I'm running a 'special' version of Beta 3.03 too to resolve the port 30003 multiple ID issues
-
I have been testing a version of 3.03 beta from Aleksey [4th Sept] to test resume from sleep it appears that if I remove the password setting from the power options in Vista the sleep issue goes away. Are we all using the same patched versions?
-
I suspect that most of us are running very similar versions - if we've been reporting bugs, which I guess most of us have :-{
Have you noticed that no network flights are getting routes updates? All the examples here show only flights that we are picking up locally.
Rod
-
This ahs now been corrected.
-
Thanks, I wouldn't have noticed it if tarbat hadn't pointed it out :-)
-
Despite a few hitches it is a very stable version on my systems.
-
Yep, same here :-)
-
Interestingly I woke this morning to find the "radar screen" was frozen. This has happened before but I put it down to just a "once off". Seems to happen after a couple of days of continuous running. The rest of Radarbox is running and updating fine, just the animated screen freezes.
-
After running V3.03 for a few days I have just had the not responding in the window header and everything froze then went white(vista thing). This is the second time it has happened.
Not happened at all on previous beta's, prehaps something has crept back in ?

Sometimes an aircraft on the grid gets no new entry in the Mylog database. See attachments. The aircraft (d-abdn) was visible on the Myflights Grid, but no new entry was made in the mylog dbase. I have noticed that this was not the only aircraft that behaved like that. Pressing the Refreshbutton did not helped.
When I returned to beta 3.02 (second exe) this problem did not occur...
Frank
-
Frank, does a new entry eventually appear in MyLog? I think you might have to wait until the aircraft timeout expires before it appears in MyLog. I might be wrong though.
I'll lookout for this happening this afternoon on my setup.

I think you are right there. I have noticed that the new entry has been made afterwards. I did not know that. But what puzzles me is that sometimes the new entry is there straight away, and sometimes the new entry does not appear at all, just afterwards when the aircraft has timed out.
-
Yes, it's a mystery to me as well. As long as the entry appears, I'm happy!!
-
So, how are we doing on v3.03 beta? Many bugs left to fix? Just curious really.
-
Last I know is that I reported a couple of bugs to Alekesy about a week ago. they were both crashes: one when selecting flights in the Mumbai area - a floating point error in longitude, and the other with clicking flights in MyLog.
Unfortunately Steve, "BOM1", our Mumbai correspondent, is away this week, so we can't test the first crash - second one seems to be sorted now.
Rod
-
Just got home from work to find ANRB has crashed, what is going on with this version?
Screenshot attached.

Your screen shot is too small to read, so can't comment on the error messages.
V3.03 has been rock steady on both my PC's.
And remember, this is Beta software, so AirNav might need a bit more information to trap this error.
-
Locking this as V3.04 is being released on this board.
