Hello All

Does the GAS data base work with RB data base or only with the SBS data base which I do not have.

If it works with RB any info would be greatful. I have asked this in another thread (bizz jet updates) but would like keep it seperate.

Thank you

I use it for looking up mode s for registration tie up etc. Can you down load their data base to RB, I assume no as for SBS use only?.

RadarBox automatically updates its information from the GAS database - you don't have to download it, it happens when you are connected to the Internet.

Not strictly correct.   Radarbox gets all its data from the Airnav servers.   The Airnav servers then get data from various sources, including airliners.net, GAS, etc.   This latter process isn't perfect, hence the regular "..." aircraft types, the "Untitled" in company names, etc.............

Once a week I run a process (described in the linked thread) to get data directly from GAS for new aircraft.
