Hi all,
Why is it that aircraft that are manually updated and added to the database yesterday are not even in the database today.
The database is set to not overwrite manually changed records.
Thanks
Dunc
The only thing I can suggest that they were not saved correctly. If you have added something to your local Navdata and we dont have it in the database and you have got it marked to ignore manually changed records I cannot see that an update can change what it doesnt have details on.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I think I may have the answer, I have just updated a record today and didn't see the that right at the end of the record is a box "Autoupdate Y/No".
I have altered this to no and will check tomorrow.
Dunc
That will be the reason Dunc

Hi,
Tried to update the database but with a N in the Autoupdate but this has still been overwritten and all my entries amended.
Can you please enlighten me on the correct proceedure so that it can be resolved as there is either a glitch in the programme or its my ineptness.
Thanks Dunc
Dunc,
On the database updater there is also a tick box for Do Not Update Manually Changed Records, the N only tells the system that this is a manually changed record.
An alternative is to pass me the datails of the aircraft that I dont have in the database and I can have them included but if you dont want to share them no worries
Alan
Yep seen that and amended the Y to N makes no difference.
Database not set to update records automatically yet still will not save any amendments you make.
Dunc, this has definitely been tested, and as long as AUTOUPDATE on the aircraft record is "N", it never gets updated. Maybe you can describe exactly what you're doing, so we can understand what might be going wrong.
Dunc,
Once you have made your entry and changed Y to N did you click somewhere on the grid to set the N entry?

Hi Tarbat,
Preferences- Radarbox- Auto populate aircraft data -OFF (Unticked) , Auto update manually changed records- OFF (Unticked)
Database explorer- Do not update manually changed records- selected
Aircraft Details amended and in the last box AUTOUPDATE- N
Click in another box to confirm entry
Database explorer then closed but as soon as Radarbox closes and then opened again all details revert back to original details
Dunc
Reverse steps 2 and 3.
Hi Tarbat,
Database explorer- Do not update manually changed records- selected
Aircraft Details amended and in the last box AUTOUPDATE- N
These 2 ?
Dunc
Yes.
Thanks will give it a try
Dunc
Hi Guys,
Sorry to be a pain but any updates I make are still not saved in the database after I log off and then back in.
If I wanted to make the following detail changes can you please give me a step by step guide on how to do it.
eg. AE071C is a USAF F-15
If I wanted to record it in database as follows
AT= F-15 / AN= McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle / AC= USAF- RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk
What would be the correct proceedure and settings
Thanks in anticipation
Dunc
Hi Dunc,
AE071C is in database explorer as follows MS = AE071C, AR = TACTICAL, CN=N/A, AT=Tactical Code - Various F-15 Aircraft, AC=US - Air Force, AI=F15, Autoupdate = Y
If you want to make changes to what we have, change what you want and then scroll right along to the right hand side and change the autoupdate Y to N.
Alan
Alan
MENU - FILE - DATABASE EXPLORER
Select aircraft table
Enter AE071C in "Text to Find", CONDITION = IN, FIELD = MS
Edit each field, and make sure you set AUTOUPDATE field to N.
BUT, next time the USAF assign this ModeS hex code to a different aircraft, which they do regularly, you'll need to update the database again, if you know when they change it.
Hi,
Have followed the steps as described and data is changed but as soon as i close the programme and restart then its lost and reverts back to previous entry.
Settings are as follows
Photo And aircraft Auto-Populate
Download aircraft photo- ticked
Download 2 photos for each aircraft- ticked
In Database explorer
Do not update manually changed records- selected
Dunc
Did you change Y to N on the aircraft record in database explorer as I advised you to do when you were changing the record? If you dont do this the other changes are ignored.
In photo and auto-populate there you also have to untick Update Manually Changed Records
Alan
Hi,
Yes changed to Y to N on each record changed and in Photo and Aircraft auto-populate only ones selected are Download aircraft photo / download 2 photos.
Dunc
Quote from: dunc8543Have followed the steps as described and data is changed but as soon as i close the programme and restart then its lost and reverts back to previous entry.
Lets take a step back. When you say its reverted back to previous entry, is that even BEFORE you run a database update, and even BEFORE the aircraft is received again. How long did you wait between closing ANRB and re-starting it? Sometimes ANRB continues working in the background committing navdata database updates (from the NavData.db3-journal) after ANRB appears to have closed.
Ok,
I update the aircraft details as previously described and exit back to the main screen, I then unclick process hardware flights and then reselect to force the database to refresh.
At the end of each session of use whether it be 5 mins or 5 days when the app is opened any aircraft i modify cannot be found in the database explorer.
I.e K35R changed to K135 will revert back to K35R as will any other details changed.
Also that aircraft when tracked will appear under the Radarbox details on screen but in My Log screen as the details I enter.
Hi all,
This issue has still not been resolved, anyone any ideas ?
Dunc
Thanks to all that helped with this matter.
It has been resolved by completing a full delete/ re-install and all working fine now.
Thanks again
Dunc
Glad its all sorted Dunc
Alan
Thanks Alan,
I have to say it is so much easier and quicker to use now, am very impressed.
