Chaps,
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but here goes:
Whilst on a trip to Korea last week I hooked up my RB and let it run for a while. As my hotel was in central Seoul there were a few things around, but not a great deal was picked up
I didn't however have access to an internet connection, which meant that a good 50% or so of stuff that I did pick up came up reg-less
Is there a way I can import a shed load of codes or something similar so that it doesn't happen again?
Thanks
Well it should populate if you open MyLog and then tools->populate
Hello
I have a problem along these lines.
Opened MyLog and then tools but no populate?
Cheers
Charlie
What do you mean? No menu entry or does the populate not do anything?
If you go into 'Tools' there is no populate button
Hi all was unaware that there was a populate in my log i had 841 entries updated.
Steve.

There isn't a button, it's a menu entry. You have to open MyLog first to get to it.
Open Mylog and click on tools and populate will appear in a list. Click populate and it will give you a number of the aircraft to be populated. I had 841 and its now down to 435 waiting to be processed and counting.

I am blind I now see it

Thanks, I was aware of that but it doesn't really help me when I'm on the road with no internet connection
What I really need is everything loaded in before I go
Do you have any way of getting mobile broadband? It's the only easy solution I can think of, while you probably could create a bigger and more complete database it's a pretty big task.
Thanks, it's not really cost effective though as I never know what country I'll be in next

Try a search on Aerodata on this forum. They can provide a database of aircraft registrations.
Thanks tarbat, but I work for a company that supplies that information at professional level, rather than at enthusiast level, and use a different database at enthusiast level, so don't really want to pay out that money for a one off data dump
pwfu, are you saying you've got the data already? I'm not clear if that's the case or not,
If so, then you could use the import facilities in database exploter to populate the RB database.
Sorry, my mistake, I don't have the data yet, it's the data that I need
Back to my original suggestion then - Aerodata. Basic data on 98,000 aircraft for free.
http://www.aerodata.org/BaseStationfile
You'll have to then import into database explorer.
Sorry, i thought your suggestion was to buy Aerodata! Thanks for that, I'll give it go
Tarbat
Once the sqb file is downloaded is it just a case of importing it into the database explorer or do I have to delete any data first to avoid duplication of records.

Guys - be careful using the Aerodata file as I believe it was originally developed for SBS users a couple of years ago, and as a long standing user of Aerodata, together with my conversations with the guys who maintain it, they were not willing to vouch for the continued accuracy of the file available for download from their web site.
Tarbat - I think you are correct that the file can be used for us RadarBox users?
I continually update my RadarBox data base using my up to date Aerodata database,and you wouldn't believe how quickly things change!
My Aerodata/RadarBox analyser does the rest, and the two work well side by side, however I do realise that the cost is prohibitive to some users.
Just be aware that this file may be well out of date,and you may actually put some records further back historically than your current database has them.
To provide a professional,well maintained reliable accurate database free of charge that sits comfortably along side RadarBox is likely, in my opinion to need some collaboration with one of the main players in the spotting software market, and , undoubtedly at a premium for the privalage. I think the guys at Aerodata and ADU have enough to do running their own succesful product to look at other initiatives at present.
Cheers
