Hi Marc,

Yeah..sure...it's called v3.04 now :-)

There is a lot of testing going on by the beta testers (closed testing). We should be there soon.

I saw a post from Airnav Development  that said you were waiting on GlynH  to post the 3 whatever release from the closed beta!

3.02 , 3.03 or 3.04 who knows, the closed beta group including GlynH does I guess!

Does it really matter what the Beta version is called?  I remember that some people seemed to get really wound up about the version number - lol

It doesn't matter if I'm writing software or a text document, I always stick a 'V' number on the end as well as a date/time group so that I make sure that I can find the latest version and have a copy of the old versions.

For example

This scenario happens occasionally here in Bombay but occurred very frequently on my recent trip to China, usually when the false contact had been genuinely picked up/timed out recently.   

At the moment I'm showing 8001EE KFR ATR and 8001E6 JLL 737 at the same level and in the same place.  8001EE is the genuine one and E6 it's shadow which will eventually time out and disappear. (Just gone).

On another note re China.  At both Guangzhou and Shanghai despite being in very close proximity, and picking up and tracking all aircraft down to ground level not one appeared on the map (not even the ones you'd expect European/US).  The occasional one popped up when between 30-50 miles away but this was very infrequent.  At Pudong, the distance was not even indicated.

Are these signals able to be blocked?

Technically - Yes, but you would need to ensure that your own jamming signal did not prevent your own reception of the data.
An array of directional receiving aerials, and an omni for transmission would seem to do the trick, with the omni inside of the shielded directional receiving array.
It would also be neccessary to ensure that aircraft could receive the data from other aircraft, so that the in-aircraft collision preventation system still worked.

Hey...don't blame me - I did reply via pm! ;^)

Work continues apace...

I think we should have a 'pick on Glyn' night and take the pressure off Airnav!!

[GlynH]

You'll have to join the queue Jeremy! :-)
