Pffff, why Microsoft could'nd let things as they are, with XP; as far as i know, and that is from DOS 3.11, the best and stable Windows version ever.

The answer in one word is Money.

V3.08 hung

PC had been running for approx 24hrs with v3.08.  This evening had found the program had hung. The machine had been untouched for most of the day so its not a case of me changing any ordering in the myflights table.

Hi Brian, even MS recognise the fact that Vista ain't so hot!  Hopefully, all may change with Win 7 (trouble is, if it's perfect from a user's point of view, no-one would want to upgrade to Win 8 - or Win 7.08 even ?)

Well said, I agree.

I'm still using XP and don't plan on upgrading (or should that read Downgrading)?
to either Vesta or 7, 8, 9 X ........?

As the old saying goes; "if it aint broke".

Running 3.06 with no problems. Tried to upload 3.08 from your link at the beginning of this thread. Unable to   >>>> anrb(1).exe unable to locatete Component  rb.dll was not found  <<<<<<  is this because I have disabled drivers to run ARNB on Vista!!???

Give me the simple life.

Well great day   Got the 3.08 working on my own...just dropped it in the 3.06 folder.  Phew.  Also no more F8  Thanks AirNav ;-)

Hung again overnight after approx 6 hours.  When starting I sorted on reg and then system was left alone.

Trying again.  will go back to my 3.07 which was working ok if this occurs again.

Graham,

Check what else is runing and whether you can try another pc. So far nearly everyone else who has run it has given the thumbs up.

We just want to rule out any computer issues.

[GreekSpy2001]

The ARNB locked up at around 630am GMT.  I could use task manager to close the app.  The rest of the PC was working fine. The only other program running was JSTARS which was monitoring the port 30003 (think that is the one that you use to push out the data)  Over night a series of backups were running using smartsync pro but this does not backup the airnav directories.  However this was finished by 3am GMT

I run AVG 9 but have excluded the Airnav direstory path.

I have rebooted my machine and running again with ARNB and JSTARS and obviously this browser (Safari v4.0.3)
 
At the moment I only have my work laptop and I have to use to VPN to my office so can't use this until this evening.

HTH

Could the hanging come because of the high number of Photo/Info Requests???

Switched yesterdaymorning  the Photo Request to off, but still the counter is at the moment on 770 req. to do, at abt. 1 am (utc) it was zero (yesterday morning counter on 1240)
Have now 145 planes in myflight.

CPU load is slightly higher as "normal" for RB.

You could switch off photo/info request for test.


edit: btw overhere no hanging of the pc (P4 3.2 gHz, 1024 MB RAM)

[Roadrunner]

The higher than normal number of photo requests is no doubt due to the network not being available but your local pc is still listing them to be found when contact is finally made with the network. I have only been switched on for about 45 minutes but I already have a waiting count of 98 and increasing quickly. THat is despite having over 5,000 photos in the photos folder of RB.

I ,too, cannot manage to install 3.08 beta due to the dreaded 'rb.dll not found' message. Having read replies from various others with the same problem, I have decided to stick with the 3.07 version particularly as AN have said that a full download version of 3.08 which is hopefully going to be bug free (and it looks promising that it will be) will be issued within the next couple of weeks.

Hi EK01   I popped it (the Air Nav logo  "arnb" ) into my existing AiNav 3.06 folder and that did the trick - drove me nuts too...but I stubbornly plugged away.

Good luck

The only bad thing I've noticed so far in 3.08 is to lost network flights - even it was promissed that this will work for a year for free ....

[ANDREJ767]

Yes one more thing I found - several false flight ID messages noticed on all Adria Airways CRJs flights - now flight ID are sometimes changed up to 10 times in a minute and none is right,also the same thing with Italian air force Falcons 900EXs.In previous version I used there was no flight IDs for Adria Airways CRJs planes....

This is really really simple - I think :-)

You will get the rb.dll not found if you try to run anrb.exe from a directory where rb.dll is not present - and as the rb.dll file is in the default RB directory, then if you have copied the anrb.exe file to the right place, then you won't get this message.

So, rb.dll missing message = anrb.exe not in the same directory as rb.dll
