Database Info required/Help
« on: August 03, 2008, 07:48:58 PM »
Hi,
Finally getting the hang of it all at last.
However the database seems a bit of a minor problem in a brilliant system.
I have had it running for a fair few hours each day and on certain types either a lot of info is missing or wrong.
An example is OO-TCP A320 T.Cook comes up as an old DC8! I wish !!
Also all of my EVA Air or China A/L registration B-1_______ don't show a country flag any ideas why ?
Is this something I have to keep on individually or should the autopopulate do it?
I posted a request about my Aerodata SQB file which is a lot more up to date a few weeks ago has anyone tried downloading to the database and if they have how did you do it?
Keep up the brilliant work with the AirNav and thanks agian to "Logo Rod "!!
Mike.

The RadarBox autopopulate will fill in the details for a blank recoerd, but if a record is present - although incorrect - I don't think that the old record is overwritten.  This is to prevent manual edits/corrections being altered by the autopopulate function.

Use File > Database Explorer to find and delete the incorrect record, and if the correct details are in the GAS database, they will be autopopulated.  Check the GAS database here:

All my B-2*** registrations show the country flag OK, but I don't have any B-1*** to check.

The country flag is produced from the data in the D008.dat file and is dependant on the hex code block.  See the manual or this thread for the general principle:

Hi,
Sorry me again with a request.
I pointed out yesterday about my B-1_______ not showing a country flag.
All my JAT aircraft YU-___ don't either.
I looked at the reply and have looked in the manual and the link and it to me anyway is all very confusing, re the D.008 file.
Can anyone help how to do it in basic terms ?
Thanks.
A very baffled Mike !
