AV61, Only go as far as Airnav Systems\AirnNav\Radarbox, leave out the data bit, it will do that itself
Alan

Hi Alan
I will try that this evening and let you know how I get on.
Cheers
Nick

Alan
I have done as you asked but it is still the same

Just to let you know I have tried deleting the navdata.db3 file and redownladed the file and it still comes p with the same number of aircraft as before.
Nick

Al
out of interest I have downloaded it again to a location on my pc and the file is 28249kb which is the same size as the one Ive downloaded to my AIRNAV.
nick
-
Nick,
Did you Run the file or Save it when you downloaded. If you saved it, RUN it
Alan
-
Alan
have tried both have saved it and run it and have just run it
in both cases the number of kb are the same which are the same as the january update

You must have more than one instance of Airnav on your computer. Use windows search and look for Navdata db.3 24/4/2012 and see where they are. Replace the old one in the correct place with the new one in the wrong place. Remember where that correct place is
If you installed from the disc which came with your box and then upgraded to 3.13 or 4.03 you will have at least two instances of Radarbox on your computer and have installed the update to the wrong one.

I am running a 4.3 3d version
Maybe I need to delete all and reload but if I go down this route
how do I keep all my data in mylog as I dont want to lose what I have
currently at work so cant try anything til this afternoon
Nick
-
Hi Nick,
Just save your My log file from the data folder and replace if the existing if you re-install. You shouldnt have to delete but if you do, remember and delete all instances of Radarbox.
Alan
-
Hello Nick
Also you might want to check your virtual store as the correct navdata and mylog will be here since you installed into the default program files location.

hi Alan & Andrew
Many thanks for all your help
I searched for all files Navdata.db3 and it came up with a few
as you said Andrew something about virtual files I found a couple that were showing located
in a virtual file (Idont know why) but I deleted all of those and when I reran the program
I now have 157283 aircraft is this correct only I noticed in one of the comments on here someone mentioned 257283 I am guessing the 2 at the beginning is wrong or I am still missing loads
Any way many thanks to you both for all your assistance
Nick
-
the 2 is false. My brain wasn't 100% "online" at 3AM.
-
Glad we got you there in the end.
Alan

Hi all, thought I'd share my experience with you. Back in March I posted saying I had troubles with installation, and after much debate resigned myself to not being able to update.
I reinstalled ANRB into it's own file, not in Program Files.
Seeing the latest database, I tried installing it in C:\AirNavSystems\Radarbox and left off the Data at the end. It has now, miracle of miracles, updated my database.
For those experiencing problems with updating, try these tips, you never know it might work.
-
Glad you got there in the end Brisbane. Its really hard trying to help from a distance but its good when something eventually clicks.
Alan
-
thanks to all for your hard work!

Alan,
Got one here that I can't Find in the DB, actually there are many, but this one stands out, again with USA flag:
A07070 decodes in two lines as:
N12728 Cessna 206H C206 Weaver Aero Int. Mountridge KS
ZS-SED Cessna 206H C206 (wrong ICA024)
What does that mean?
John
-
John,
A07070 is an American hex which decodes to N12726 which was its previous identity. This aircraft is now ZS-SED and is Cessna T206H Turbo Stationair c/n 20608303.
It is an unfortunate fact of life that in your part of the world, miscodes like this are prevelant and as they are using the American hex code, this will give an American flag.
I have added it to the database under the miscoded hex.
Please forward any other unidentified hex codes and I will try and add them as well.

A quick question - does this update incorporate all the previous updates?
I am still having trouble getting the number of aircraft to go above 80166 - have followed all the tips given in the thread and still no joy - any suggestions much appreciated.
This installation was a new one (from an original 2007 cd) on a windows 7 laptop - so managed to do a system upgrade from version 2 to 3.13 with no problem. Everything else is working correctly - it is only the latest database update that is proving a problem.
Is the 157000 for the total aircraft number confirmation that the update has worked ok?
-
Lionel,
Having done an upgrade from the original CD, to 3.13 you will have more than one instance of Radarbox on your computer.
First of all I presume you ran the Navdata and didnt just save it from the website. Use Windows search to look for the NavData.db3 from April. Copy this to the data folder of the 3.13 installation, replacing the one that is there. It will probably be in the original installation data folder and will be around 27Mb and dated whenever you installed it. Be aware there is more than one file with Navdaat.db3 as part of the name.
It replaces trhe original and will have over 157,000 codes
Alan
-
Hi Alan, this may appear to be a stupidly basic question, but just how do you find out how may codes are in the file?
-
Choose the menu item "File" then "Database Explorer"
On the Database Explorer window select the "aircraft" table from the drop down list.
At the bottom of the Database Explorer window is the number of rows (MS codes).
-
Alan,
I was with Lionel whilst the reinstall was being done and we did find and delete any previous versions of the Navdata3 file. Airnav had not been installed on that laptop before so there was only the original CD installation to remove. The file is in the correct place as far as I can tell so am at a loss as to why it is not showing the correct total. The system does work ok and if there is a planned upgrade that does away with the Navdata file then that cannot come soon enough
-
Paul,
If there was only the updated Navdata on the computer it would be being read correctly, there must be another on there if only 80,000 codes are being read. If all the original files had been deleted there would only be the updated on there, hence my suggestion to carry out a windows search for Navdata.db3 files.
Carrying out a de-installation using the Windows control panel does not remove all files and normally leaves the original Navdata.Db3 file among others.
Alan

Alan
as per my previous post we did a search for the Navdata file - it came up with 4. 2 of these were the downloaded update and the other 2 were from the cd installation and were removed. I have seen mention of the 'virtual store' - could something be in there that the search is not finding? As I only use XP the inner workings of windows 7 are all new to me.

Hi Andrew, many thanks for that, mine is showing "80891 rows loaded in 170ms", so I assume my DB isn't updated, despite me downloading .db3 - 21120424 and then going through the Install process.
-
Paul,
A windows search will pick up any in the store. so no worries
What is the path of the Airnav you are using. I presume you have it installed to the default location in program files, this will give problems with the virtual store. Wherever you have installed radarbox to you should install the update to. As you look as if you have installed to the defaul location I presume it will be c:programfiles\Airnav Systems\Radarbox. You should therefore install the update to there as well, do not go any further and put it in Data as the installer does that, only go as far as Airnav Systems\Radarbox.
To avoid the virtual store problems my preferred option would be to de-install what you already have using Control Panel then do a munaul search and delete all the remaining Airnav folders you would find.
I would the re-install to somewhere like C:\Airnav Systems and once installed use the Navdata update installer to install to that location.
Alan
-
John,
That will be the case your system is still using the old Navdata as the one you installed has not went into the Data folder.
Use the info provided previously to search for it and move it to the correct data folder replacing the one already there.
Alan
-
Hi Alan, thanks for that - I've been trying to download and install to C:\AirNav Systems\AirNav RadarBox\Data, but have just tried C:\AirNav Systems\AirNav RadarBox without the \Data, lo and behold, I now have "157283 rows downloaded in 398 ms" so seem to now have the updated DB file installed. It would appear that directing the download to the \Data file is what was causing my problem. Hope this helps anyone else having a similar problem.
-
Managed to delete the vitual store ones and run in the update. However the total I get is still only 136K - any ideas as to why when others report that 157K is the expected total after this update? Is it possible that an earlier update needed to be loaded before or is this one a total replacement of the navdata file?
-
Lionel,
Each Navdata update replaces all before.
136K was an earlier update, did you run the one at the start of this thread?

Many thanks to those that responded, problem resolved and database now with the correct number.
Thanks especially to Paul C for his patience !!

AV61,
To be safe goto MyLog and export to CSV. Not sure how you can import it again though as the import option is from SQB. You could also make a copy the mylog.db files to make a backup. These are located in the Data folder eg: C:\AirNav RadarBox\Data for me.
