Problem with v3.06 - Duplicate entries/timeouts/system freezing

[Fenris]

If they were to give me a version that logged to a file and asked me to mail that file to them then I would be more than happy to try and help them work out what's happening.

Look at the ANRB.elf file.

You could also look in the Vista Reliability Monitor.  The last time anrb.exe failed on me was back on 12th July 2009 !!

I have not had what Vista regards as a failure, just one instance of the hardware disconnecting when I first ran 3.06 after about an hour or two I think, since then it's been OK.

I've just re-downloaded the installer, the one I got on Saturday 3rd October was 127,815,051 bytes, the one downloaded today is 127,747,746 bytes. So there has been a change in the installer, but I don't know when that new version was provided.

Tarbat, excuse me for not being very Vista savvy, but what is the elf file for? I have one called anrb.elf and another called anrb_old.elf, so I suspect that replacing the .exe and getting the "can't find the publisher" error is in some way related? Ah, right, I see it's a Eureka log file and that is the output of a Delphi debugger. So, do I need to send these to Airnav or are they uploaded to them via the server communication?

Brian - didn't get far with that!

"Applicaton failed to start because rb.dll was not found"
End of game!!

What I really want is a the latest complete stand alone v3.06 download.

Bratters, you are trying to run the anrb.exe file from the web - so there is no way it is going to find the rb.dll file :-)

You must save it to your RB directory and then it will run from the normal shortcut on your desktop,

Thanks Allocator - got the gist thanks. My error.

I'm not so clever, I read somebody else's post - tarbat I think :-)

More importantly - has it fixed the problem?

Tarbat -

Opened OK and I set MyFlights "altitude descending order". Seized up solid in 15 minutes.
Usual story: started with around 30 flights which steadily climbed to 60+ before the list stopped moving. Run the cursor over the flights on the map and "selected flight" will light up on map but in the list the black arrow remains stubbornly where it last stopped.

eg. highlighted on map a Ryanair, a BMI, a Jet2 or anything  but shown in list the same old easyjet.

Number in listing rises to 80 which is just not possible this time of the evening.

So next I click  on "flight ID" - timeouts appear everywhere and the list drops to 41, (which is about right) and resumes normal working.

30 minutes later - still running normally. NO  network at any time.
At least there is a pattern of consistent failure caused by selecting altitude.

Over to you lads.

[bratters]

WHOOPS! CORRECTION TO THE ABOVE.

For Altitude read DISTANCE NM. My setting that causes problems is DISTANCE.

Sorry about that  - brain not engaged.

[tarbat]

One thought - what are your timeout settings?

Over to you lads.

That's Airnav I presume!!

I've just noticed that if I sort by altitude then as aircraft are added to the list the new ones do not get sorted, they simply add to the bottom of the list.

I will see if I can get the sort by distance setting to freeze now...

[bratters]

One thought - what are your timeout settings?

10secs and 10secs with a refresh rate at 2000.

Re- "over to you lads"    =     Anyone who can crack it will do nicely!!!!

Bratters,
I would add to that request 'the latest complete stand alone v3.06 download THAT WORKS!'

Maybe EK01 but I'm not actually complaining.  It's a good prog. which actually works very well - just a few glitches here and there which are proving a bit intransigent.

But that's all part of the fun (?) and let's not forget it's free. When I bought the box I didn't expect to get a gratis download of what is in fact a greatly improved program.

No - I'm quite a happy bunny right now and certainly not looking for a scrap  :)

No, indeed. But I think it's reasonable to expect the software to operate correctly. 3.06 is the closest to that I've seen, for me in 3.01 the network timeout was too short and in 2.01 the transitions between local and network were not correct.

I do hope that Airnav can find the few issues that have been reported and fix them, then we'll all be delighted. I'd just like to be able to provide better bug reports, as it stands it's difficult to do that.

It's good to see we are getting closer. Perfect software does not exit anywhere, unfortunately. :-(

We will be back at work on ANRB (after 1 week with great progress on ANRB 3D) this Sunday.

What's that all about ?   

You've told us repeatedly that work on ANRB 3D is separate from, and doesn't interfere with, work on V3 ...
