Traffic pattern disappear when updating LNM version. #1095

Closed jpr5551 closed 4 months ago

jpr5551 commented 4 months ago

Happened several times, when updating LNM version the "Traffic patterns" defined in all airports disappear.

Is there a way to make a backup of the defined "traffic patterns"? Any file? Any table in database?

I think "Traffic pattern" should have similar treatment than "Userpoints"

Thank you for job and time.

LNM converts data if the format has been changed. But this works only in one direction. From old to new format. If you use a LNM version 2.8 after 3.0 the data might be lost. You can run different versions in parallel if needed to avoid this. Mentioned in the changelog.

Patterns are saved in the configuration file little_navmap.ini in section [Map] for key TrafficPatterns2 (LNM 3.0.X).

Unlikely to happen. Certainly not with search and all like the userpoints.

I took note for a zoom limitation for patterns and holdings. This can make sense.

Thanks for your coment. Solved for me with a little_navmap.ini file backup. Thanks again.
