AirNav RadarBox 2009 - 3.08 Beta - Released

[tarbat]

Updating the MyLog is nice...but does nothing to help you update the NavData.db3.

MyLog - Populate should also update your Navdata database.

Thanks for the info....this was really helpful.

One more Q:  If you have just the Registrations (no mode-s code) in the DB...will it update all the info as well?

[Allocator]

You can't have just the registrations without the Mode S code in the DB.  You can have Mode S without the registration - as RB detects the Mode S code then adds the registration info either from the database or by autopopulation.

That is what I figured.

Well....my experimentation with ANRB is still causing me grief.

Once again, after closing ANRB and starting it again, all updated info in the NavData.db3 is gone.  This doesn't seem reasonable.

Is there something I'm missing?  Am I suppose to manually save it somehow?  Maybe export it and then import it again?  I'm at my wits end.

I also did an experiment by adding all the Emirates A380s....Mode-S codes and all.  Well, after closing ANRB and restarting it again...all this info was gone.

YXUphoto - there does seem to be a bit of a time lag before the manual updates are saved to the DB proper.  If you make changes then immediately shut down RB and open it again, RB might not have saved the datails - maybe some sort of cache going on there?

After you have manually added a record using Database Explorer, shut down Database Explorer but leave RB running.  Open DB Explorer again and search for your new record by mode s - can you see it?

You are using Database Explorer are you, and not just editing records in MyLog?

with rb 3.08beta there are still some planes in duplicate

[Allocator]

Never seen this in any version of the RB software on any of my PC's - it's an odd one.

I see that these are different aircraft though, with just the same Flight ID - crew failing to update the ID?

[pjm]

for whatever reason they are 2 separate aircraft as far as the software is concerned (not duplicate),

i.e.

400FF3 and
400FE3

[Aerotower]

Ok, this was not the best example ,I looked at the number of flight and not to the actual airplane. But on Monday showed some aircraft duplicate.

Yes, I'm editing the DB using Database Explorer, not just filling in empty spots in MyLog.
It doesn't seem to make any difference how long it has been since the DB was appended, the data disappears anyway.  Maybe someone could suggest a test I could perform to narrow down the cause of this problem.

Find the Navdata file you copied across and right click on it and check that its not read only. If for some reason when you made a backup copy its become read only that would explain why records are not being saved to it.
