AirNav Systems Forum

Hi all,

my AirNav software seems to take a age to start up these days.
its when it is validating the mylog.db3 file. From my location here I am
under one of the busiest air spaces getting over 1500 craft a day via
my antenna. So I guess my logs could do with a trim, or could I just
delete them ?

In MyLog, consider using the menu option to "Delete Old Data".  If you accept the defaults, it deletes all flights older than one month ago, but still retains all the aircraft details in the log.

I get the same slooow loading issue Paul.

Takes 6 minutes to load a 155MB MyLog.db3 log with 15834 aircraft started in March this year...this on a Dual 3.2GHz Xeon PC

I see @3000 aircraft a day here...

When it does load it is painful to near impossible trying to find my way round MyLog...I have to give up as the response is so slooow...not sure if you see this problem on your system also?

I hate to ask but do you have slow menus and/or the sleepy pointer hanging around when navigating the menus after it has been running for some time?

I might give the Delete Old Data a try Chris...thanks for the tip.

I was always worried that it might delete everything!

Thanks & regards,

My log is around 150MB here. and takes around 3 mins to load
I can't find the del old logs bit ??? When running the program runs fine
with no slowing or hanging. my system is Windows 7 32bit, Intel Core 2 6300
@ 1.86GHz and 3GB Ram. uploading the images to the net.
3000 a day, is that all from your antenna ? During the day here at any one time
I have around 150 - 200 showing.

Hi Paul,

It is almost hidden but if you open MyLog go to the Tools menu on the bar and you will find it there...

All from my antenna...I don't use the Network at all.

I currently have 464 in MyFlights...

Please help,
I have a log of 5600 flights. I found the delete record button, but is there a way to delete the whole log instead of deleting them one by one?

Thanks

Quick set box on right-click all time

Hi,
I see it but I can still only delete 1 record at a time?

I have no problems with start-up. I was just looking to delete the old records before it becomes an issue.

sherlock, firstly go into "MyLog".  On the MyLog menu bar, select "Delete Old Data".  It will ask for a date, accept the default and it will then delete all flight records older than a month,

Hi tarbat,
When I go to the MyLog menu bar, the only delete option I see is ( Delete record) . There is no (delete old data). Maybe I have an older version?

Your investigative skills need honing ;-)

Look in the top left-corner.

Hi Rod Bearden,
Not so elementary My Dear Watson! If it were any more obvious, it would have hit me in the face. I finally see it and I thank everybody for their help. Have a Happy 4th of July!

Sherlock Holmes

You're not the first person to need help finding the Tools menu in MyLog!

Happy 4th July yourself!

Rod

I also could not see it but felt stupid to ask   LOL
all sorted now.

Thanks Rod and all the rest of replies...

Now you'll be able to populate MyLog too :-)

That means that it will try to complete missing data via the NavData database or from the AirNav server.

Rod

Must be a new record...time to start was just timed at 11 mins 45 secs :-(

For most of that time ABRB was showing as Not Responding in TaskManager although it was grabbing between 0-2% CPU time.

MyLog.db3 now holds over 16,000 aircraft since March this year and is now 166MB in size.

AirNav - I would be more than happy to put MyLog.db3 up on my FTP Server for you to download or upload it to yours if you would like to test my database on your installation and see if you reproduce any of the issues I am having?

Thanks & regards,

Is it hanging at any point in particular (in terms of the status lines on the flash screen) or is it before the flash screen is displayed ?

My RB starts in abt. 4 minutes, having a mylog db of 392 mB.
I don't care, starting RB every 2-3 weeks, keeps running fine,
starting mylog is within a few seconds.

So maybe it is something else then the size of the mylog db?

Thanks for the replies guys...

Dave: I documented the timeline in an Excel spreadhseet but I might have forgotten to save it as I can't find it anywhere now...Doh!

From memory the Splash screen appears fairly quickly after the app icon is double clicked and shows Not Responding throughout the various stages - MyLog, NavData, Optimising Flight Data but not sure if it shows constantly...I can take another look.

Have not run it for a few days now as I need the undivided attention of my PC as I am doing some work instead of playing for a change! :-)

Running PP and at least can use my machine...

Jannuh: That's a big database! How many aircraft in there FFS?

Obviously not a database size issue then...

I can start MyLog within a few seconds also but if I try to use the filter I click on the relevant box and then have to wait for a while until I can select an entry or type in the box. Sometimes even the simple task of scrolling down the list using the scroll bar sees it moving in short, sharp jerky movements with the mouse pointer showing the sleepy/busy icon...

If mine runs without rebooting for a week or two my menus stop working somewhere along the line. I guess your menus are OK even with 2-3 weeks uptime?

Thanks & kind regards,

GlynH,

Whats your Antivirus or Spyware software? Have you set it so it ignores the RB folder (be carefull to which folder is being used on Vista and 7 installs).

Otherwise it can start searching the RB folder when it loads and also it won't like checking a 100mb+ file very much for spyware/viruses.

Suggestion for future version ... maybe an optional auto-purge function?  User enables a setting to keep one, two, whatever months of data.  That way, it won't have to be a manual maintenance item.
