Are you recording these as manually updated by changing Y to N and also unticking update manually changed records in Preferences/Radarbox  Also when doing a Navdata Update are you using Do not Update Manually Changed Records?

Also when you close down RB are you using File/Exit?

yep done that have just restarted the box and the 2 regs I just put a * against to test have gone back to the way they was and Y is back where I changed to N

was not using file/exit  testing now

nope alan still not saving the changes

[Runway 31]

Always use File/Exit to close down as nothing is saved if tyou just use the red X

next to the reg

Paul,

That will not work.  Use the CO field in the aircraft record for any annotations

Alan

[paul walker]

nope not worked either and have changed the Y in the autoupdate field to N and on restart is still going back to Y

[Runway 31]

I will need to get back to you

Paul,

Sorry for the delay.  After waiting 15 minutes, she who must be obayed was becoming increasingly irrate at me telling her I am just coming when she was wanting me to take her into town!

Put the * into the CO box then press somewhere else on the grid to set the change, the same when you change Y to N

All manual changes to d/b explorer require this.

Hi

I have been using the 'CO' column for several weeks to record those aircraft that I have visually seen.

When an aircraft comes up on 'My Flights' I go to the database and put a 'yes' or 'no' in the CO  box, change the Y to N and then click somewhere else on the line.

Next time the aircraft appears in My Flights the yes or no is there in the CO box.

The only thing I have found is that it is not instant. Although I change the data base if the aircraft is still showing in my flights it will not reflect the yes or no until the next time that aircraft appears, but I can live with that.

The 'CO' box is a good step forward for the 'visual spotter' like me.

I just wish I could delete more than one record at a time in the data base.

Regards

I know that feeling well Keith.  I have to delete everything individually as well.

played around with it all night still cant get it to save the changes I make put yes in the CO field and change Y to N shut down the system and re start and its all back to the same as before

Paul,

Open up d/b explorer/Aircraft.  Go to the top one N998HG, scroll along to CO field, click on it, then edit cell, the blue box changes to white, enter *, click on one of the pink boxes.

Scroll along to autoupdate, click on the Y, then edit cell. blue changes to white, change the Y to N then click on one of the pink boxes, close d/b explorer.

File/Exit to close down RB.

Restart and check the CO field on N998HG and what is in it.
