I am currently in Japan and have four particular aircraft, the data of which I have corrected in the database. Originally the registrations came up correctly with the comment in the A/C Name column "Tie-up extracted from...". I have updated the data several times, but each time after a while the data returns to its original state (both in the database and MyLog) and the update is lost. It's frustrating, but why is it happening?
The aircraft are:
850E9C
86E072
868038
863AE6
For 7802C4 I have put the data in the database and added it to MyLog and it disappears from MyLog every time (but this one stays in the database)!
Otherwise, 1.5 is a great improvement...still a few bugs though.
I regularly update the database manually, but usually this consists of adding new records using DataBase Explorer (to update NavData.db3) rather than correcting incorrect data. The new records I put in always display correctly.
Remember that MyLog is written using the data available when the aircraft is first picked up. So, if you detect an aircraft with no data, or incorrect data in the NavData.db3 database, then this is what is written to MyLog. If you then have the data for that aircraft auto-populated and written to NavData.db3, this will not change what you see in MyLog. The same applies when you manually update data in NavData.db3, MyLog is not changed.
Also, if you change data in MyLog, this does not affect the data in NavData.db3.
However, if you then use Tools | Populate in MyLog, the MyLog data is updated from whatever is in NavData.db3, so any auto-populates or manual changes you have made using DataBase Explorer will then be transferred to the MyLog data.
An example of this is for a military helicopter which has the wrong data in the GAS database use to auto-populate RadarBox. I see the wrong data in MyLog as this has been grabbed from the wrong auto-populated data in NavData.db3.
I correct the data using Database Explorer, but it still shows incorrectly in MyLog.
Use MyLog | Tools | Populate, and the data in MyLog is updated and now shows correctly.
I hope that this makes sense :-)
