Sorry but mouse wheel not fixed to ANRB 1.5
On first click on map window wheel works fine to zooming in and out.
If after that make a click to left window (interface) and return to map no wheel anymore.

I have upgraded to version 1.5 and using windows vista.the program now seems to be responding slowly to mouse clicks etc on different operations.... anybody else finding this also?

I upgraded to v1.5 (by loading the new ANRB.Exe file and left it running to see what happened. Went to work and came home to a white screen and system crash. The only program running was RadarBox, albeit with Network connected and signle picture download. Sorry but this crash is sooner after start up than any I have had with v1.4. Also I have an alternative program running on another PC with loads of add-ons and that has not faltered. I have an internet monitor and I have had no detectable drop-outs today......

Hello,

I earlier mentioned the new version 1.5 booted well in Vista, I
now have to revert to the old way of starting Radarbox in VIsta
with admin rights.

It turned out that without admin rights the new RB couldn't
read MyLog.db3 since all I could see in My Log was today
flights...... and nothing to appear in All Time list

Started the old way and My Log showed all flights logged to date again

Am I correct that without starting the old way RB seems to build
a new My Log database ?

Marinus, I'm running Vista, no admin rights, and I see all 6278 aircraft in MyLog. I did note that it defaults to the "Today" view when you first access it though, but just click on the filter and select "All Time".

Tarbat,

Included 2 screenshots:

Noadmin Rights

Admin Rights:

You can see the difference in flights, also noticed that the backup Navdata.db3
i copied back to the data folder gets smaller in size after starting ANRB 1.5

With this version we have a 5 minutes delay in the recorder. Why ?

AirNav Development · March 19, 2008, 06:20:32 PM

Same as with V1.4. Security reasons. Cannot be changed.

Same here, scrolling through dropdown menus is very slow and has
hickups.....

Hi all.

I had problems with Vista Home Premium on my Dual Core Laptop with v1.4 freezing or "not Responding" every 2-3 hours.

Now with v1.5 i have only had one instance of this in 8hrs.

Wow only one crash in eight hours - mine did in two. The point is we should not suffer any crashes in days ! . My other device runs for up to 16 hours a day without crashing.............

Very odd, I get a slight delay when I'm working without an Internet connection and still have "Share Flight Data" ticked, otherwise, no problems.

Keep the reports coming we need to know whether its working nicely or not.

One important item is that why you start RB it may be intialy slow as its picks up all the aircraft and needs to get details, pictures, add to them database very quickly. Give it a minute or two to let it settle.

I am a little disappointed that I still cannot use my Radarbox with confidence. I know most users are happy with the changes made on v1.5 and I should be too. I purchased a new base unit so that my RB could be run for longer each day (never wanted to use the laptop long term anyway) and I was able to run it for long periods with v1.3. v1.4 caused the lockups with internet and v1.5 which should have solved it crashed after 2 hours. I have switched off for today and will try tomorrow running it from dawn to dusk or beyond, and see if it behaves. :-(
