[simonb]

Hi all.my lap top hard drive crashed 2 weeks ago wiping everything off my computer.it is now repaired and have re loaded radarbox using the original CD from 2007.downloaded the upgrade to version 5.00.071 ok but I dont know if the database for aircraft,routes etc is up to date.aircraft list shows 80,100 and 1094 airlines.is this the latest one or do i need to download another update.using windows vista.thanks in advance for any help,regards,simon.

Simon, you would be better to use 5.00.72 which is the latest on the support page
http://www.airnavsystems.com/download/ANRB/ANRB50072Setup.exe

If you go to File/Database explorer/Database Updates tab then Update all records press start update and you will see the progress bar along the bottom.  Once complete you will be advised to close down and restart and the processing will finish on starting up.  You should have 226.500 odd after the update.

Thanks for that Alan.upgraded no problem but after database update still shows 80100 in aircraft table,any ideas? ta,simon.

That would suggest that the d/b update went to the old version and would also suggest that you have the old version on your laptop.  Either delete the old version or find the Navdata db3 file in the old version and drag it over to new version.

Personally I would delete all traces of the previous installations and reinstall the new version.  Don't install to programme files install to something like c:/Airnav

sorry to add a similar request - new insallation on new laptop - i have done the updata database but sill only showing 80000 records in database explorers not the 240,000 as expected.

Paul,

Have you done a search and found where the Navdata.db3 is?  If you have downloaded and installed the Navdata update and you are still only showing 80,000 you must have 2 Navdata.db3 files, the original file which the software is reading and the new one which has went somewhere else? 

Find the new one which should be around 66,275Kb in size.  It should be in c:\Airnav Radarbox\data\ if you followed 5.00.72's default install.

Thanks alan - will give that a try. Default installation put in in programme files though.

[Runway 31]

It shouldn't Paul, 5.00.72 default should be outwith program files.  I would suggest that you delete the installation and manually remove everything left after the automatic removal and the install as detailed in my previous reply.
