Like you Allocator

I never click on the thumbnails just found them and lots more while updating.

Take a look at the attachment and compare LK colum with LK2.

Would there be any chance I have a corrupt File.

No - same results here.

It's similar to the issue with military aircraft coming up with completely unrelated photos, although in that case it's even worse as even the thumbnails aren't always correct.

See www.airnavsystems.com/forum/index.php?topic=2507.msg27267#msg27267

The good news is that AirNav are committed to resolving the issue and, I'm given to understand, are currently looking at spending money on an external resource to straighten out the photo/type details issue once and for all.

I don't know what the timescale is for this.

Thanks Dave

Would be nice to see the database sorted too, stop some how the changes being made in the Navdata file and all the Untitled/---

Cheers Mate

Is any work going on to fix dual monitor operations ? This was a problem with 2.0.
Window positions are wrong, restoration of windows is problematic.
Help About centres on the other monitor when it shows up.
Having a dual display is convenient - you can stretch the app to have most columns listed on the left monitor as well as have the map up on the right hand monitor.

[AirNav Development]

Can you explain this one in detail? Maybe you could send a screen shot with an example of what you want to achieve.

Another issue outstanding -Local Time is out by an hour - I suspect this is daylight saving time related. I'm on Eastern Daylight Time, it shows time to be an hour early.

On the dual monitor setup, I have an ATI video card which supports 2 monitors, both set to 1600x1200 resolution, with the desktop extended across them both, effectively 3200x1200.
I want to display the data screen on the left hand and the radar map on the right.
I hit the Restore Down icon, and then drag the bottom right corner of the window to the bottom right of the right ahnd monitor. Then with a bit of tweaking, I get the data colum listing Changed, Tracked, Sttatus, Mode S etc. to show on the left monitor, and the map on the right.
If I exit the program and launch it again, it does not restore the window to these positions.
If I hit Help About (with the mouse in the left monitor at the menu bar), the about window shows up on the right monitor, instead of the left, or centered as one would expect.
Also, I'd be able to open a separate map window on the right monitor.

Here's a screen shot of dual monitor.

One small thing - at the bottom left, the C in UTC is chopped where it says the Live Data at hh:mm:ss UTC.

Don't hold your breath Colin...myself and others have been requesting this for a year now.

I had expected it to be in this latest version :-(

This one is very difficult to develop but after we finish all the pending corrections we will have one programmer dedicated only to this task.

When is the non Beta rollout of the new system planned?? (not a big fan of Beta versions)

When it is ready I guess :-)

[GlynH]

Please don't ask questions like this as it puts Dev under pressure and they give knee-jerk responses of dates they cannot possibly achieve...is it 25th June or 2nd July yet? ;^)

<ducking>

The standard response to a question such as this would be;

It will be released on Monday...
