BUG : MyFlights aircraft listed on Network tab

[tarbat]

See attached screenshot.   Currently showing all MyFlights aircraft in the Network list, even though "Get Flights from Radarbox Network" is un-ticked.  Probably caused by no operator in the Quick Filter.

Also, what does a status of "Deleted" mean?

Hello Tarbat

We have just tried the same as you and got the number of myflights plus the number of deleted under the network heading add up to make the total in the network tab. This is done with our network switched off also.  Just out of interest what made you think of trying this?  What deleted means I dont know either-it could be an internal command used to tell the programme the flight has timed out and not to display it in the column of myflights any more.

An accident.  I'd just started Radarbox, and always setup a quick filter of Distance < 250NM, and forgot to select the "<" from the dropdown list.  Same happens on MyFlights, where I normally setup a quick filter of Latitude = 0.

Not suggesting anything sinister is going on are we?

Thanks we have noted this. Though it shouldn't impede on general running of RadarBox.

Deleted flights are simply ones which have timed out, but still in the session data of the database so in case they appear again while still in the deleted state they will stay as one session in the database.

Hello

In other words it is just an unintentional "Easter egg"  :-)

Seriously though it doesn't affect things but would this deleted flights not explain the users complaining of the excessive memory usage after leaving the box on for days or are the "deleted" flights fully deleted after a set time?

No, as the deleted flights are then purged after a certain time.

hello

I did think they would have been but was just wondering in case they weren't.
