AIRAC update - where?

[airchild1]

Michal, I did not use FS and vroute for almost a year due to different reasons. Today I updated my Navigraph AIRAC data and learned that there's no navigraph code needed for vroute anymore. If I understand right, AIRAC cycles can be updated just like that, now.
However, apart from a message telling me the cycle is outdated, I can't find any update option.

What's wrong?
Searched the forum but couldn't find anything helpful.

Hi

There should be a change link unless I screwed up the update process last week. Since I did the update from my iPad during summer trip with my family, it is possible something went wrong. Can you please have a look again now? In case it went very bad I suspect there would be plenty emails in my mailbox and that is not the case.

Thank you for your reply, Michal. I checked again, and still no change button displayed. However, I had a look at the html source and it's there ...

Code: Select all

<tr id='srchA'>
<td colspan=1>
	139107 routes in database<br>
	38 route views in last 1 hour<br>
</td>
<td colspan=1>
	AIRAC cycle <span class='cycle'>0811</span> <span class='btn'><a href='?change=1'>change</a></span><br>
</td>
<td width=120 class='cycle_outdated'>
	Warning: AIRAC cycle out of date</td>
<td id='srchstatus' rowspan=3>
<div id='div_map'></div>
</td>
</tr>

It just doesn't display.
It says cycle 0811, although I had at least cycle 1006 active before I stopped simming for a while.
I'm running Win7/64 and IE9. Any ideas?

[Michal Rok]

No idea. Looks like a browser extension messing up with vroute, but I haven't seen anything like this before...

Not quite the answer I was hoping for ...

I checked for IE extensions - they are all deactivated.
I have reset IE to default settings (don't use it, anyway) and cleared all caches
I uninstalled vroute, made sure nothing's left in AppData/Local/Apps and in registry
Reinstalled, re-registered, and after each step: Still the same problem!

Is there any way to switch to a debug mode, or something alike?
Can't believe this should be an extension problem or system related. After all it's just a TD and a simple href with CSS format.
Would love to see a solution, otherwise vroute is pretty worthless with a 2008 airac.

Best regards,
Peter

I changed your account to 1109 for the time being.

Meanwhile I checked the server code and there's no point where the link would be hidden on purpose. I still have no clue why your browser is not rendering the link properly.

Thank you very much, Michal! I still can not see the Airac message, but the outdated message is gone and the source code shows 1109.

I ckecked most pages and functions in the app, and it seems that everything displays perfectly, except that single TD.
I am working as a web designer and php coder myself, and I learned that if something shows in source code but not in the browser it's almost always a code problem. However, I seem to be the only one having this problem.
With a tool like Firebug or IE dev tools I could probably find out more but this is not applicable here.
Anyway, thank you for your help. I will keep promoting vroute pro

Sorry for digging out this 1 year old topic. I just want to thank you for your genius, Michal !
The Airac change button problem persists until today on both my Win7 PC's at home & work. As a workaround I had vroute installed on some older XP computer in my office. There I could change it so that it was also updated at home.
Now, with the last Airac change I noticed that you have included an automatic update with a checkbox that was already preselected. Great job! Always the latest Airac and no more need for a workaround

btw, something I noticed with the "hidden" button: if I resize my vroute window to a width of about 2500px (dual monitor) I can see the first 2 letters of the word AIRAC .... so, it's not actually hidden - rather a problem of table and/or cell width (and maybe only an issue with dual screen).

Anyway, I'm fine now with the new feature. Thanks for that!

Peter,

I'm glad I solved this problem for you. Still, I have no clue why you didn't see the button in the first place, I haven't received any similar error reports...
