Your experience upgrading to 5.00.044

As always, thank you!!!

On a plus note, I notice a MUCH faster shutdown and startup of the software.  Also, screen movement seems a little more fluid to me.

That's good.  a fair bit of development went into "under-the-hood" improvements.

Are we ever going to be able to adjust the column widths "flightid's, registration, aircraft etc...."??

Not in RB5 - at some point we had to stop and release the beta.  Maybe something for the next version, including being able to change the sequence of columns as well.

As an update , the "Geographical Co-Ordinates" do not show over any masses of water as well.
And where it says "Map Centre" at the top of your screen also gets cut off over water..for my location anyways..

cheers,

Noted - thanks for the feedback.  As beta testers it's really annoying when we miss a bug :(

HIi Chris,
It's good to see that you're back on board and involved with the Beta testing and development, with you, Alan and the others pushing forward we may get the product that we all want.

Jason, regarding the rings, does it do the same with the satallite layer and or the OpenStreet Map layer?

Hi Tarbat, now with the "Start Update" for the database update feature, does this mean when I post for example a "no route being showing" request under the database updates thread and it gets updated by Alan or whoever, it will automatically be downloaded?

Should we be doing the "Start Update" feature daily to keep up with additions as they come along?

Hopefully you understand what I mean....

what is RB1 and RB2 when the software is started?

Because it says RB1 found and RB2 not found.

Thanks

Hi Alan, yes it does, just tested it.  No rings/co-ordinates show...

Uploaded the upgrade (first use of RB for over a year) and all appears well using the 4.3 upwards version.
Just one thing I dont seem able to adopt 2d version etc has that been dissabled with 5.00?

Hi all, copied over from the Development Update topic Reply #239 as it should be in here really?

"Oh, this is really great, downloaded and installed the "upgrade" version - and whilst RB seems to load and open, I've no display screen - I just get error messages, such as "Could not obtain OLE control window handle".  RB is working OK, just haven't got my display screen!   Wonderful..........."

As everyone else seems to be OK, I've probably done something wrong!

Hi Roadrunner,

2D is what I am using and going by the previous post i think most are using it as well.  Could you close down and restart and see if the problem persists with you.

RB1 is the Radarbox hardware.

2D mode should work okay.  What happens when you click on the "Map View" button?

[Runway 31]

John,

If you have not already done so, could you close down and restart and advise if the problem persists.

Thanks Tarbat!

Can you send me or put in the forum this files - GE_Models and GE_Layers folders and maybe some other files for 3D.

Regards

P.S- Why all the planes are to appear in the Report as new, if I just did an upgrade?
