RELEASED - AirNav RadarBox 2009 - 3.06 Beta

[Allocator]

All my aircraft showing at present in MyFlights has 2 pictures, except for TC-SGI which has none - and sure enought, airliners.net only has a single picture for this aircraft, so I go with what tarbat said.

Suggestion: Undockable windows and "full" full screen without Airnav logo.

[Allocator]

Undockable windows are on the long term wish list.  What have you got against that tiny AirNav logo in the full screen view - lol

After full V3.06 installation no more problems with freezing ! Thanks Allocator

I'd rename your exiting RB installation directory, then download the FULL V3.06 file and do a fresh install.  Once you have established that it's running OK, then you can copy over any data files (MyLog.db3) from the old (renamed) installation to the new directory.

I ALWAYS do this when a new version comes out.  If I want to go back to the old version, I just delete the new directory and rename the old directory to it's original name - easy :-)

Personally, I don't like 'upgrades' as you end up with all sorts of files you might not need.  Windows upgrades are a case in point here!

[Allocator]

My pleasure - do enjoy and remember to eat and sleep every now and then :-)

I would rename your current RB installation folder - just add something like Original to the end of the folder name.  This preserves all you files and settings in case you need any of them later.

Then download the FULL Beta V3.06 file and run this file to create a new clean installation.

One health warning, if you are running Vista, then it might nor be as simple as renaming the directory?  One of the Vista 'gurus' will have to step in here.

Allocator,
No need for the 'Vista' gurus. I am using the dreaded Vista system and adding Original to the end of the folder name as you have suggested seems to work ok.

That's good news - I don't like to advise regarding Vista, as I've completely ignored this iteration of Windows.

I do intend to try Windows 7 though when it goes on general release.

I was the MS DOS users who once said "Why should anybody want to use Windows (3.1) when you can do everything you want in DOS"

I've moved on since then - lol

I'm content with XP.

Maybe RadarBox 3D will need or benefit from a better OS ??

Then I will upgrade !!! :)

[airman]

Just some informations about this new release:
- I desinstaled previous version from Windows XP including registry entry.
- I reinstal completly new 3.06 on Windows Xp and Win 7
This version seems more rapid in refreshment of screen.
Some misreporting point are remaining, also some mistakes, as VOR CPE (close of LFPG) is not longer on air, and the LFPY airport (south of LFPO) is no longer active.
Is any folder available in order to update these informations according the AIRAC cycle, each 28 days?
Thanks for the upgrade to the team

Just installed V3.06B.
What files should I copy from the (renamed) old install to the new one???
(I already copied the map files)
t.i.a.

[Allocator]

These are optional, if you don't want to start again with nothing in MyLog

MyLog.db3 - this is the history of all the aircraft you have picked up so dar

NavData.db3 - this is the main source database that will have been autopopulated by your previous version of RB

Both files are in the /Data directory

[jannuh]

Thanks for the info Allocator!
Will copy both files.

Found a bug in Full Screen mode, the AirNav banner overlaps the Up arrow on the scroll bar so that you can't click Up!

[Allocator]

Just hold the left mouse button down and drag the map - you don't need the scroll bar :-)

Question.  I downloaded just arnb.exe v3.06 and placed this in my existing installation.  Everything seems to working reasonably OK.  However, do you think doing a clean fresh install and moving file sacross would provide a better experience?

TIA for your thoughts
