Changes:
1) Updated aircraft table;
Again thanks for the hard work of the database updaters team.

A big thank you from me for all the hard work that the updaters team put into this.
It is so important that the work continues so that the Radarbox can be enjoyed.
-
I have to say that I have been more than impressed with the new upgrades to the database. I like other had been updating my own until recently but just did not have the time to keep on top of the constant changes. Since converting I have had very few that have not populated and most of them have been delivery aircraft.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
-
I also have stopped maintaining my own database (from GAS) in favour of using these updates. Many thanks to the database update team, they're doing a great job.
-
Yep, credit where it is due........ well done guys....... ;-)

Hi Guys
I would also like to add my thanks to the updaters for all their hard work.
In the past I have had significant trouble in getting the updates into the correct folder, an issue for the major update to the software we are promised, so can you advise me of the number of aircraft I should expect to see in the database.
Again Many thanks
Jim

Around 128,703 Jim

Still having trouble, as my windows xp database only has 126600. Have not tried the laptop with windows 7!
Will continue to try and resolcve it
Jim

Thats about right with the last update Jim.
Alan

Thanks for the update all.

Dumb question here, but where do you go to check how many aircraft are in the database?
regards,
-
Go to File...Database Explorer. Choose the Aircraft table from the list box at the top, and then look in the bottom left-corner of the dialogue box.

I`ve got 128701, so there. ;-)

Ok, I have only 120,630 ..now what am I doing wrong? I extract the file to the c:\airnav radarbox\data folder, it overwrites the existing one etc...
-
Fixed it by manually copying the database over...!
regards
-
Only take it as far as c:\airnavradarbox, dont go as far as data

128k aircraft records is a mammoth effort chaps!!
Can't believe how far this has come on in the time since the team was created.
It seems the "idea" is to release a new file on what appears to be a monthly basis?? Seems a good way forward to me.
Hopefully you guys will get some well deserved support once that other software is released?
Well done chaps!
Regards

As a matter of interest, do you updaters get any benefit at all from AirNav, such as free real-time network or similar. If not, may I suggest AN consider putting this into place.
But, in any case many thanks for all your efforts, we users appreciate it, but rarely say so!
-
Good thinking CCJ. They certainly deserve more than a pat on the back.

I've hit 128707, excellent the updates are superb and many thanks indeed for all involved.
Always thought that the ANRB was the one to choose :)
-

Well, if we stop to think about it they're saving AN a huge amount of money and resources, and adding a lot of value to AN's product, for which they should receive some benefit, possibly proportional to the amount of work and effort put in................................How's about it AN?
-
I agree, without their input this would be a hard task to match. Well done guys :)

Another yes vote

And yet Another yes vote from me

All
100% agree with last posts, great work has been done and huge improvement on Airnav db supplied on CD.
Question is are they still shipping with old disc with 80,000 a/c, lot of mistakes and with huge blanks....it was so out of date!

Hi Guys.
just checked my db and it only shows 118202 acft. Hv tried updating as per instructions abv and still get the same number. Do I remove previous updates before downloading the new one?

I'd also like to add my thanks to Alan and the team for the work they are doing.
There were over 2100 new aircraft added in the 34 days between the last two .db3 updates, - over 60 a day!
A remarkable achievement.
Alan, just as a matter of interest, how many hours per day/week do you personally spend on this task?
Syd

I spend what time I can or what the wife will allow, I think she is just glad of the peace and quiet!!! I am lucky in that I am retired and doing this fills a large hole in my life now that I am not working and with the Scottish weather, what else is there to do!!
We as a team are grateful of the assistance given by you the forum members for sending us your unknowns and alerting us to our mistakes, its a team effort. Its a bit like painting the Forth Road Bridge in that you put an aircraft in the d/b and next thing it is sold and changed ID completely, never ending. Its not just new aircraft its all the everday changes which come about from aircraft being sold on or going on lease.
There must be a lot more unknowns noted out there and the more that are forwarded to us the better it will be for us all. Dont put up with blank space, let us know of them and if possible we will fill in the blanks. There are around 10-15 or so usual contrubutors to the update thread and I personnaly thank them for taking the time to post. Think of how we could get on if the other users contributed the unique unknowns from their area, so come on dont be shy post away.
Alan
-
Adding to that, the updates thread is not only for additions. If you know of any aircraft, especially General Aviation, that are in the DB that are laid up engineless or have been sold, let us know. In this way we can keep the information fresh.
-
Alan
I like the reference to the Forth Bridge!
Not sure our overseas buddies will know exactly what that means...I do...I'm frae Auld Reekie, ye ken!
Slanje va...hope your wife appreciates the peace and quiet.

Who'd want to follow that poofters' pantomime - although I'll give respect to that one who's nose got broke over the weekend, he must have missed hi vocation as an oval ball player!

My Man U supporting friends have been very quiet of late.
Where I live it is all about the oval ball (or a small round red or white ball)
