AirNav Radar Discussion / Re: connect XRange2 to RB software

« Last post by Runway 31 on September 16, 2025, 04:42:02 PM »

The xrange is working as it was intended to do, sending its data for viewing on Radarbox.com

At the request of users V6.00.03 was changed from 6.00.02 to allow the xrange2 to connect to the V6 software.  If you cannot get it to connect to V6 there must be something stopping the connection, i.e the wrong information in the preferences tab.  Nothing in V6 settings should interfere with data being sent to radarbox.com

I dont have an xrange myself or use V6.3 myself but a quick search of the xrange page on airnavradar,com gave the following instructions to connect to V6

Instructions
Before configuring the software, make sure that X-Range receiver is connected to the same network as your computer. Next, follow the instructions to configure the application:

Start up the application;
Go to "File" then click "Preferences";
Next click on the "RadarBox" tab;
In the "RadarBox New Firmware" section, please enter the local IP address of the unit;
Make sure that the "Port" is set to 32088;
Click “OK”;
The application should be able to detect the XRange receiver automatically. If not, please restart the application.

It should but do you have any other instance of the software on the computer, if you have updated it may be going there instead.  Use Windows search to see if you have another instance, its possibly in program files, if you have, uninstall it and once done go back in and unistall any folder left behind, never install to program files location, only install to the root directory such as C:\Airnav/

My Navdata.db3 is 138Mb in size.   If you go to your aircraft table, how many rows does it show, bottom left of the page.  I have 552,566 although I have not updated since Saturday

File/Database Explorer/Table and go to Aircraft in the drop down list and you will see the total rows bottom left when it updates

You should also have the last 10 updates showing below it in the data folder, these will have the date downloaded on them i.e Navdata.db3.20250916 was the last one I downloaded

These can be deleted but they do no harm as the Navdat.db3 file is the one used by the software

so the date of my file in that directory is 10-27-2015-  does this file date not change when it is updated?

It is encrypted so it cant be read by anything but the RB software and is the Navdata.db3 file in the data folder

Hi John

Sorry for the delay in replying as I was offline all day yesterday as traveling for my annual trip to Spain.  Now on the ferry en-route Santander and back online

Regarding N717SX the FAA list shows this to be a C150.  However 60084 is N717DX which was  added 13/9 so presumably a typo

All other added in

Thanks

It shouldnt normally be an issue as any changes made in a session are saved when you log out correctly
