Your experience upgrading to 5.00.044

[Michel]

Next week after the start of the winter schedule, you can find me in your database update topic again, Alan. ;-)

I know Tarbat, but when I turn it off I won't discover any mistakes or missing flight ID's in the official database. And I wan't to continu my help to get the official database as correctly as possible.

And for some reason when I turn it off, Airnav won't find some flight ID's in my personal database. At this moment SAS556 won't show it's routing EHAM-ESSA, while the correct routing is in my database.

I am looking forwards to Sunday Michel, not!!!  Your assistance would be greatly appreciated as always.

Give me a few days and I've got most of the EZY, DLH, etc in and out of EHAM for you.

although I've gone through the updating Database process, I've still only got 80317 A/C loading in the D/B - any suggestions please.................
Firstly, did you use the Database Update option in Database Explorer?  Secondly, did you follow the instructions to restart Radarbox?

Hi Chris,
No I hadn't, never updated that way before, usually just click on the Update D/B address in Orkney's post, so tried that way and now got 207639 A/C, so am now a rather happy chappy.   Many thanks to all who've helped me get this far!

Now what have I done, tried to set up auto start but get this,   

[tarbat]

anorak, are you sure you've setup the autostart to the correct folder?  And the correct "Start In" folder?  rb.dll should exist in you main Radarbox folder.

More photo problems; 4CA294 - EI-DEN. I have photos from v4, and also photos from v5 with the random code after the filenames - all thse photos are doubling up, which is a pain.

Further, none of these photos are showing in the grid. The photo links in the database are correct, linking to the proper photos in Airliners. The only thing odd about the plane is that it's using a wrong Flight ID - EHN176.

Any ideas?

EDIT - deleted the record from the database, did a second database update for today, and restarted - now the photos are appearing - odd.

Rod, I've three tasks open with AirNav relating to photo problems.  These examples all help to reinforce the points I'm making about the changes that are needed.  Thanks.

When you say "the grid", do you mean MyLog?

[RodBearden]

No - the interface grid - MyFlights and Network  - I didn't check MyLog, but the photos are showing in MyLog now - see the edit to my prevoius post.

[tarbat]

Rod, do you know what was in the PTTN & PTTN2 fields for the aircraft in Database Explorer?  That's what currently determines the photos that get displayed in MyFlights.

[RodBearden]

Tarbat - I didn't make a note, but, because they both worked when I copied and pasted them into my browser, I've got them from my browser history. They are:

Those are the LK and LK2 fields - that's not where the thumbnails are retrieved from.  Anyway, don't worry, AirNav have agreed to my changes which should, I hope, fix the various thumbnail photo problems.

yesterday evening, before shutting down RB, I did a update on the database, just now I wanted to work on the DB to alter some more PTTN entries to my own pics ....... PTTN and CS fields are blank now
does this mean we are back to the "good old" system for showing pics, or does this mean that everytime after a update, the fields will be blank ?
can't check it out myself now, as I have to go working now

edit ; I already had altered some entries yesterday, but they seems to be gone also, I have settings set to not modifie my own data, so why are they gone ?
