Please help me with a recently-developed problem which developed about a month ago.

On the Map, in my Home area, all of the flights appear with asterisks and when I click on them, their associated data is found on the Network tab instead of the My Flights tab.

And, the flights which appear on the My Flights tab, do not appear on the map.

Also, my location does not appear as a contributor on AirNav Systems' RadarBox contributor map.

My hardware box is functioning correctly, I believe.  Rapidly flashing blue light with intermittent white flashing light.

What is wrong?

Hi Woofer
Have a look under 'Advanced' tab just above 'Network' tab.
Here are options to select what you see on the map so make sure what you want is selected. Probably best to tick them all to begin with.

Unless it has changed recently the contributor map it is not accurate (my location ends up about 300 miles away) because it takes my internet provider address.

I get similar flights.  I can see them on my map.  When I mouse over them, the network appears and the flight is 6000 miles away.

There is no "Advanced" tag on my screen.  The only "Advanced" I have is "Advanced Filters" running version 3.13

No HF antennae at the moment.

Hi John
I am version 3.13 as well. It is filters but on my screen setup all have is 'Advanced' showing between 'Quick List' and 'Mylog'.

It was something to check...

Just wondering, have you installed to the default program files location?   You may therefore be suffering from Windows virtual store problems.

If you are only getting an intermittant white light, is your antenna/connection ok?

The manual says "The more this LED flashes the more information is being received by your antenna from aircraft".

Looking at the hardware guide in the manual if the blue light is perminantly lit then the USB is ok. The guide points to data not being received from the antenna when the white light is intermittant

He has rapidly flashing blue light with intermittent white flashing light.  Rapidly flashings not correct

"Blue LED flashing rapidly (or permanently on)
This indicates that the receiver is correctly connected to your PC via the USB cable and that the USB driver is correctly installed."
