G-OHAJ hasn't been G-OHAJ since 2005 ...

It's currently G-TOYM with BMI.

[Runway 31]

Its G-TOYM in the DB

Thought so changing it now in D. E.

[DaveReid]

Its G-TOYM in the DB

Yes, but it's not quite as simple as that.

I'm sure that it is indeed G-TOYM in the Updater's database, but it's G-OHAJ in the database that currently ships with RadarBox 3.13 and 3D, so that's what appears on the screen - hence the OP's query.

And no amount of double-clicking on the Mode S code in MyFlights will get it to populate correctly.  The only way to do that is to manually update it (as Dave has now done), or to delete the G-OHAJ record - which of course presumes that the user knows it's wrong in the first place ...

A bit of a Catch-22 in fact, hence the OP's understandable confusion.

We urgently need an architecture where updates from the master database propagate to users' RadarBoxes without requiring them to have psychic powers :-)

Couldn't agree more Dave!

It's a tad frustrating not to see these changes flowing through !

As I'm sure you know full well,we're powerless with this as we can't fiddle with the software , or provide technical fixes at all, just plug gaps . amend and create new records.

hopefully this can be adressed?

We are getting a large number of unusual visitors in ZA as a result of the Soccer World Cup. Here is a list that we have managed to identify. All the aircraft on the spreadsheet have been identified visually, through radio calls or by discussion with ATC
