New Navdata.db3 - 20130819

[shouriken]

I have always wondered, is the airlines table actually used for anything?

Maybe AirNav knows?

I could also ask the same for the aircraft types table.

The airlines table is used to translate any IATA two-letter id codes broadcast by aircraft into ICAO three-letter codes that the software looks up to find the right logo.

I preserve my original airlines table during database updates so that two-letter ids show the right logo (I've added some non-standard ones that reflect real life rather than official IATA codes).

Thanks Rod, if you have any real life ones you would like added in please feel free to forward them for inclusion.

Hi
I am new to update database. When i go in File/Database/Explorer/aircraft  at the bottom  it shows 8i395 loaded. I have down loaded your update and run but no change.

Any help please gratefully received

Hi Wools.

What is usually the case here is that you have more than one instance of RB on your computer.  You will probably have installed from the disk and then upgraded to 3.13/4.03 and the update has went to the original instead of the update.

Use Windows search to look for all instances of Navdata.db3 on your computer amd either download and install again to the correct version, directing he installer to the correct one or by moving the downloaded and installed Navadat.db3 from the wrong version to the correct location and replacing the one that is there.

Tried what you say and closed down . Restarted
but now getting the dreaded ANRB.exe not responding message so cannot check to see if it works.
Running Windows 7 INE10.

How many instances of Navdata.db3 did you find and where were they?  Did you move and replace or download and install?  If you moved and replaced you may have removed the wrong one.

Hi

I found only one version. At the same time found a link somewhere on this forum to update aversion and now showing 4.03 instead of my 2.1.  Cannot find the link again but have rechecked a/c file and now only showing 80336.

Appreciate all your help but still stuck. By the way is their a tab I should be looking for updates as well,.

Hi Wools,

What version of Windows 7 are you using 32 or 64bit?  Did you follow the default install or did you install to somewhere like C:\Airnav.  If you followed the default install the versions will be in programfiles somewhere.

If you had 2.1 and are now on 4.03 you will have 2 instances on your computer.
80,336 is the original Navdata and shows that the installed updated Navdata is not being read but the original is.

Windows Home Premium 64bit

File is sitting in Local Disk (c) - Programe files (X86).

You are correct after I down loaded  there was 2 versions so I uninstalled version 2.01 and now only have v4.03

Appreciate your help on this

Peter,

Unfortunately you have installed to the default location in the virtual store

This one is the one you want - Heading NavData.db3   C\Programe Files\(X86)\AirNav Systems\AirNav Radar Box\Data  DB3 File 49.1MB

Move it and replace the one in
