Full screen back to normal works just fine for me.  It's blank for a split second then everything loads.   

This is on my new Dell Studio with Vista Home Premium 64-bit, 4GB ram. dual core.

I'm not getting any KC-135 flight IDs though.  I still need to verify with an SBS user as to whether or not they even have a flight ID.


1915-  Seeing my first flight ID for a Pittsburgh based KC-135,  STEEL01. 
Now to get a C-5...

Seeing at least one flight ID for an FBI Cessna now too.
Seems like I'm seeing a lot more flight IDs in general.

Possible bug: This does not seem to be showing * for new aircraft in the My Log Report. Only ones that display the * are the unknowns listed at the top of the report. I reset the database and still does the same thing.

Another bug: Menus stop responding after a while. ~20 mins or so.

This is the menu as it should be


Here is what the menu looks like after trying to open items. It highlights but does not open.


I am using Windows 7 x64 and also had this menu bug with Vista x64 SP1 too.

This is the real beta testing!
Many things have changed in the software programming core.
We want to collect as many data as possible to proceed with final corrections. Pls keep sending the reports. We will only start doing corrections after 24/48 hours.

The VOR problem will have a correction in a few minutes.

Map settings, map colours, alerts aren't saved after a restart of the s/w, as per v2.0. Worst of all no ↑↓ arrows.....

Problem with the Custom Legend List:

If I insert a point with the syntax: ABC, 12, 12 --> the point is correctly shown
But if I wrote, as into the example: ABC, 12.1234, 12.1234 --> no point shown

Well I've put some in so far, and mine work fine.  Try inserting them without a space next to the comma.

Simone: good point. That is happening because your decimal character in Windows is not the .
We will have to change this one to avoid problems with some users.

Airnav - you have got one helluva job colllating the comments made !!  I'd like to commend you and your team for the work you have undoubtedly put into, and are continuing to do so to make this a success.  It seems it's not often you get a "pat on the back" - but there's one from me !

VOR problem / corrupted file:
For those users that already installed V3.0 download the file below and unzip it to your RadarBox\data folder  (overwriting the existing file).
http://www.airnavsystems.com/download/anrb/ANRB300Beta/L008.zip

For all the others we have changed the .exe installer already to have the latest file inside.

Eggplant: thanks a lot for this very nice comment. You can't imagine the hard work to get this application to be so robust. Now let's work on all the complaints we have received so we can release V3.0 (no beta) in 2 weeks. Keep the reports coming.

Problem solved here, many thanks AirNav, keep up the excellent job.

It's good to know the VOR problem is now solved.
BTW the worldwide air navigation data present in V3.0 (Airport, Runway, VOR, NDB, FIX, Airway) contains the latest official AIRAC cycle, details below:

AIRAC cycle    : 0906
Valid (from/to): 04/JUN/2009 - 01/JUL/2009

For those who don't know what an AIRAC cycle is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautical_Information_Publication

Having this data enables us to do screen shots like the one below.

Thanks, I do confirm. Changing from "," to "." into the control panel it works fine!

The airline/operators I've entered via Database Explorer are not showing up in MyLog.  The new MyLog entries are what they would be if downloaded from the internet.  It is currently set to NOT Auto-Populate Aircraft Data.

Example:  I've changed all the USA- Air Force entries to USAF and sometimes added the unit too.  Aircraft I've logged since the change still show USAF in DB EX, but are showing USA - Air Force or United States Air Force in MyLog.  Populate will not change this.
