Network and Hardware Problems

(1/4) > >>

spotter70:
Has anybody had Network problems or coincidence of the 2 as i have had network shutdown which in turn closes the RB Hardware connection this is getting frustrating as it seens to happen just when something is in range for me to see .
Also the network is not giving a precise location of aircraft as they seem to jump all over the place. See Picture added  EI-DCF is located above me but even after update its still there at 400kts i doubt thats the case hrdly realtime data.
I am inclined to switch the network off and rely on the Antenna Signal which seems more accurate.
Does anybody else suffer from this problem and also is Airnav addressing this issue with the update that is pending

No problems other than the Network going off line occasionally (last night for about an hour).  The harware connection failure is a known problem and if you do a serach on the Forum you will be able to read about this.  My desktop PC looses the hardware connection regularly, but the laptop has never lost connection.  AirNav know that this is a problem and are working on it.  Can you try RB on anther PC?

Regarding the Network contacts jumping about, have you tried deselecting the flight path vector which makes the picture look really cluttered.  The option is at File/Preferences/Draw 5 minute flight vector path.

These vectors are always going to jump around as they are only a rough estimate of where the aircraft will be in 5 minutes, and as the aircraft turns, this will change by a large amount.

EI-DCF is in Grey so it looks like it has timed out.  Once RB is no longer getting information either as a live track or a network track, the aircraft label will go grey and the aircraft will stop moving on the map.  The settings you have in File/Preferences/RadarBox/ for Seconds to Timeout and Minutes to Hide will affect this.  I find that the default settings are far too long, and I have them set at 30 seconds and 1 minute.

Give this a try and see what you think.

I will try what you suggest also it does only happen on my desktop pc my laptop is fine and the connection is without the network as i tend to take it to a friends house My laptop is far better and less failure problems.

Spotter,

All noted.  There is another issue which AirNav is working on which is the priority given to live data verses network data.  in your picture, as EI-DCF is overhead you, it should be a live track and not a network track and then it wouldn't timeout in that position.  However, RB doesn't always seem to be transferring to the live data when a network track gets within range of your receiver.  AirNav has a fix for this which should be rolled out when they issue the next version of RB sometime soon.

AirNav Development:
This has already been explained on other topics. It is a known bug and it already corrected on patch 1. We are just waiting for an external company to have a software component finished and patch 1 will be out: faster, more robust and with the new SmartView feature.
