Hi, just a query. Have been operational on the box for about a month now. All works well as does the update to version 3 Beta. Only one niggle. Preferences is the niggle! Both on the original version and the 3 Beta i only get about half the preference page - adjustment is not possible and i dont get far enough down to press the `apply` button. Am using a dell530s with 3 gigs of ram at 3Ghz with radion 256. To spell it out more simply, i get an unadjustable Preferences - about two thirds of screen - and no matter what resolution etc etc i try it remains the same as well it should. There is no way to get the full Preferences page. I`d send you a picture if i could find a way of doing it and no doubt that would help. Have been on computers quite a while and have never had this problem before. However, it is running that ghastly Vista Home so.......................i rest my case. Any ideas? Regards and 73s, Roger

What screen resolutions have you tried?

Are you using a non-standard (large) Windows font?

A full-screen shot would be good if you can do it - press the keyboard PrintScreen key to copy the screen to the windows clipboard, then past it into your favourite graphics package.  Save it as a jpg file and attach to your reply here on the forum.

Hi Roger,

I know that screens are getting wider and therefore the height is reducing for the same screen size, but did not think they'd gone that far!

Have you set in Vista the screen resolution to the correct settings for the monitor?

I know that in Vista the screen's properties are now called a different name and made difficult to find.  Mine is set to 1280 x 1024, so therefore I have a screen that is more square than the normal 4:3 ratio.

Possibly the ANRB preferences are a fixed pixel size and your screen height in pixels is too small.

Also new to ANRB having bought mine at the Hamfest at Newark.

73, Reg

Hi there again, yes, you`re quite right - i had the print on screen at large - i think senilty is catching up with me. I can`t remember setting it to large size and i`ve had the Vista system for a year. Very many thanks for your interest and solution to the problem. I`ll have to get a better quality of meths - either that or the boot polish has gone hard!! Bi now and many thanks again from a - for once - sunn y Yorkshire. 73s Roger

Roger,  I'm pleased that you are sorted out!

Keep asking those questions, with all the new RB users coming on line, that learning circle needs to keep going around :-)

Have you looked at the RB video tutorials on the AirNav site and on YouTube?

Good afternoon,

Is it possible to do something in future versions for this (see attachment) does not happen?

You can left click and drag the divider between the list and the map so that you can see what you like.

You can also choose to only show (download) one thumbnail picture using Preferences.

With my big 22 inch wide-screen monitor I have the map sized so that I can see the "ADS-B Only" button, but on the 15 inch laptop I hide this and have the "Show All" button showing.

Hello Allocator, and if I want to continue to have two pictures?! I think that should solve the problem! As was done in the bar Myflights, Network, etc ...
I think that we should not solve problems by avoiding them, but solving them.

Do you mean those buttons would scroll the whole grid area? Interesting idea.

Development will be watching this thread....

The whole main screen layout needs a complete overhaul.

It looks like a quick hash-up for an early release of a program at say V-0.5x and not a version 2.01 of an expensive program.

But the same is seen on 3.06b and I understand 3.07b is unchanged.

The hardware and software does what I bought it for, so in that respect I'm happy.  But I find the poor screen interface very annoying.

Morning all, yes, have checked the tutorials and ceertainly they were helpful. System has been running with the v3 Beta for 24 hours without fault so all well. Being a radio ham, one factor has become a source of some amusement on the air. Several of us use 23 cems which is the lowest mircrowave band at 1296Mhz so is close to 1090Mhz. We`ve found that radarbox gives us a rough indication of the flow and ebb of propogation at frequencies above 1 Gig although it correlates propogation at high altitudes rather than roughly line of sight - interesting though. Have a good day all. 73s Roger

Problem with Polar Diagram...
Since subscribing to the real time network & v3.07 I am finding that my polar diagram is picking up not only 'my flights' but also some network flights too, some up to 300nm away! I have tried resetting but with the same results.
Any ideas anyone or is this a bug?
