I think you mean this?

There is a regularly updated basestation.sqb file from this source
http://pp-sqb.mantma.co.uk/

In PP, go to "options", and then "sqb database options", and then tick how you want your database to be edited.

Sorry guys for the confushion.Will try and explain a little easier.lol
I have my original sqb file dating back to 2007,now on my laptop.
Only had Planeplotter running on its own on this.Now got the Dongle to run with it as well.
If i started with a blank sqb file,is it ok to run SBS Populate?
Not that clued up with computers,just ask Anmer! lol.

Yes, just tell SBS Populate where the new sqb is located.

The path should look like this.

C:\users\mike\appdata\local\virtualstore\programfiles(x86)\kinetic\basestation\

Hope this helps ;D
