Well, I took the plunge, and uninstalled RB and tried to delete any and everything with an AN or possible RB connection, and tried installing the new "Full installation" program which seemed to go OK, however when I now try to start RB, I get the normal very slow response with the green box checking for RB1 then RB2 etc. and eventually when the screen sorts itself out, I appear to have RB open, but totally inoperable - just a screen full of the start screen for Google Earth - any suggestions folks?

is it really only me who has this network problem with v5 ????!!!!!!!!!
after several attempts of uninstalling, reinstalling and updating, I give up
just reinstalled version 4.03 ( you know, "the buggy one" ) and everything runs like it is supposed to be.
to give a answer to the question in the title of this topic ; "Your experience upgrading to 5.00.044", I can tell you : EXTREMELY bad and VERRY, VERRY, VERRY DISSAPOINTED !!!!!!!
and now there will be no more updates to the DB to download anymore, so in a couple of months ( weeks ) my box will be completely obsolete, Thank You Airnav
guess it's time to look out for a SBS3.

Can you also advise the path of your previous installation and the path of the new installation please.

Thanks

In my flights, when I click on the line of 477FF1 (C17 01 from Strategic Airlift Capability), the photos shown are for 01-0015, although 01-U381FMI8QQ.jpg is present in the Photo folder.
AE123A (04-4128), right now on the screen, shows the new photo :(

Ingo,

I have tried the Send Email Using Custom Server option as have others including users as detailed on the forum and this option is working OK.  Could you look at your settings and ensure that all the boxes under the option are completed correctly as per your email configuration.

Thanks Liviu, logged for correction.  The CH and PTTN fields are filled in when you download the photo.  These field are not completed in my Navdata as I have not picked up the aircraft and downloaded the photo.

Hi,

The following bug does not seem to have been entirely fixed (at least for me):

"Aircraft not timing out"

I have attached an example.  In the screenshot the SHTL6L flight does not seem to have timed out correctly and has 'run into' the next flight by that registration - SHT7Z.

Before making the upgrade or doing the full install save your mylog and for re-use once you have upgraded.

vonsmalhausen,

Your problem doesnt seem to be affecting others as no other users have been on reporting loosing their internet connection.  The problem has been logged and will be looked into as soon as possible

"Aircraft not timing out"
I can see that too, with the flights originated from LROP which return after < ~3 hours.

Thanks Liviu
