Hi,

Some op flags are not populating on my screen.

Has anyone got an upto date dat file, to see if it helps me out?

The Countries.dat file has no influence over Operator Flags.

Can you be more specific about what you're experiencing?

Anmer,

Not all the operator flags are populating the column and some country flags are not showing either.

Thanks Phil

If Operator Flags aren't appearing, check the aircraft record has a valid Operator Flag Code and you have a matching bmp file.

For Country Flags, no one person has been maintaining the Countries.dat file and mine may not have an entry for the relevant hex code.

You're better off maintaining your own dat file:

Hi Anmer,

Thanks for replying. It's the basic aircraft like Ryanair, Loganair, Aeromexico that haven't been showing upto now.

Could you send me your file to try if you don't mind, it's worth a shot.

Do you mean country flags or operator logos not showing?

Anmer,

Anmer,

Seems to be a bit better, but there aren't many planes over me at the moment.

I had a Thomson B787 over me but the country flag didn't show.

What was the hex code for the aircraft and were you using my dat file?

Anmer,

No, I was using mine. I have reinstalled new Operator Flags and the Country Flags and all seems to be working at the moment.

I'll let things run for a while and see what happens and if I have any more issues I'll let you know.

Thanks for your help so far.

Phil
