V3.05 Available

[CAM]

Andy,

I am running Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 530 Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 with 3GB of memory and BT/McAfee anti virus.

The problems seem to be similar to the slow menus that seemed to affect quad core PC's, but having the network off does seem to improve the performance as Tarbat stated in a an earlier post.

BT/McAfee anti virus.

McAfee won't help either.  There's no way to exclude the Radarbox folders in McAfee, so all file activity in RB will be virus-checked :(

When BT switched to McAfee (from Norton), I found Radarbox performance suffered.  So I switched to Microsoft Security Essentials instead, and excluded the Radarbox folder from virus checking.

For info, I run Vista Home Premium on a Dell Dimension Intel Dual Core 2.8ghz with 2gb RAM.  I install Radarbox on a separate drive, formatted as FAT32 to avoid Vista's terrible Transactional NTFS, which also hits I/O performance.

I havnt really noticed any difference with McAfee compared to Norton, and the problems reported before only appear to be an issue with V3.05?

Strange.................?

Airnav any ideas ?

The problem seem to come up over several hrs of running RB, mine problem came up after about 3hrs and onwards of running.

CAM: please let us know if that problem you reported now happened with previous V3 versions released on this beta forum. We need to know this urgently.

Airnav,

The last version 3.04 from post #90 blocked up as reported in #122 of V3.04 thread, post #124 stated this was a memory issue.

Only seems to have come to light in the last couple of beta's, 3.04 from #90 & V3.05.

What were the changes for these could this be it ?

Has the memory issue in #124 been addressed ?

From outside the beta forum, Seems like a lot of people are haveing this problem after a few hrs running, like the person's below I have had it over the versions since 3.01.

    Version 3.01 beta question

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm having another crack at using 3.01 beta and am very pleased with what seems to be a substantial increase in numbers on my flights.

However I still run into a problem of the program freezing after a period of time. Once everything grinds to a halt, there is nothing I can do but close the program down and re-start. Whether this is associated with the increase in the numbers of flights being processed I don't know but my question is this:

is this a known problem that is currently being dealt with by the test team or is it down to my PC not being quick enough?

If the latter, are there any program preferences I can change to alleviate matters?

The memory issue was addrssed, we ran on it a low memory machine so any memory issues could be highlighted and the machine with 256mb is still happily running 3.05 since release without any issue.

There is a issue here somewhere though, thats 4 of us who has had the same problem, and if you release it, god nows how many more.

We understand abrad41, were not saying an issue is not there. We are saying its not a memory issue that was mentioned by us earlier.

[abrad41]

ok thanks

Airnav,

Any ideas what it could be ?

It does not seem to occur here after switching off the network flights, been running without network since lunchtime here now 5 hours later all looks good.

Network looks like a start, how many Beta testers run the network whilst testing ?

Oh. I did switch the network on for a very short period at a point and there is still one aircraft showing (N705JB) even though the network is back off again.

Abrad: to keep this organized pls let us know who are the 4 users with thr problem and what is the problem in detail.

[EMA]

I use the network but have no issues.

I have a 20MB fibre connection.
