Hello Captains,I finally had enough free time to update this utility a bit more, plus some needed bug fixin'.Not too many new features, but I released it now cause the last version won't update the WX anymore.I am currently looking for good places to upload it, if you have ideas let me know please! (Brian - if your offer is still on, let me know, I finally made something to upload...)Later,Ilan

what about right here at the avsim's library?

Too Beta-ish - I'll hear some opinions here then upload to avsim...

Ok here we go, after god-knows-how-many hours of work - Download the new dispatcher utility here - http://bee.surpasshosting.com/~israela/fil...atcher%2031.zipPlease note: on first load excel *might* appear stuck for a long time (I've seen 10minutes). Be patient!Credits goes to Dispatcher ancestors Mr. Rob Van-Leest, then Mr. Wagner Beskow, and to yours humbly for this new version :-)-some good news for excel97 or no-excel-at-all users: there is a chance that freeware open office can help you - I'm into it now.Please post bugs and feedbacks here or to my mail!Enjoy,Ilan

Hi Ilan,First a gib thanks for this new version.I would like to report the following error. When trying to update the airport database a run-time error "1004" appears with the message "select method of worksheet class failed". When debugging I realized that the macro does not point to the right dirctory when looking for WpNavApt.Txt. In the debugging report it points to F:FS2002FMCWPNavdataWpNavApt.Txt whereby the correct directory in my case is: F:Program FilesFS2002FMCWPNavdataWpNavApt.Txt.I do not know whether you or Wagner are working on the Airport database. I do have some spare time and you guys are looking for some help to make adjustments to the database. Please contact me if you need my help.Michael

Thanks Michael - there was also some other issue I think, fixed now hopefully.Anyway airport and runways db comes updated with this version (airac 0308).So for now *DO NOT UPDATE AIRPORTS DATA*. If you already did, use the original file instead.Some other issues fixed in the meantime as well .Please note: if you can't use the toolbar to navigate between pages, try changing the filename to "dispatcher 3b9.xls" - this should do.Waiting for more,Ilan

No problems with the toolbar. I'll send an email with cc to you if I find your email address for the Airport list. I think he is looking for help.Michael

Hi,I think Wagner is done working on the dispatcher - I did athe last updates and new features so no need to bother him.Anyway there is no need to update the airports database anymore - except for the minor error I made in the released version, everyone ca update the database to the last AIRAC installed on his computer.Thanks!Still waiting for more feedback,Ilan

Just one initial quicky Ilan.It loks as if that link will not allow download accelerators.I use FreshDownload which automatically kicks in when I down load a zip file. Using that link the down load failed to initialize but by disabling FreshDownload I was able to down load.Thanks for the update.

I can't really help with this one - I got the hosting service from Israel Airlines VA (Thanks!) so it is not under my control. BTW I was able to download it with flashget, maybe your accelerator is problematic or something. nevermind, you got it now ;-)Thanks,Ilan

Hi Ilan, I seem to have some trouble. When I hit the buttons on the toolbar I get a window stating " A document with the name Dispatcher 31.xls is already open' Now I don't have anything else open I just downloaded the file. I enabled macros and followed the directions exactly as stated. Do you know what is causing this? Thank You

Same issue here...couldn't figure it out. I also have real trouble with the macros and the only way I can use the tool bar to go from say the dep to the arrv page is to go into the detailed macro menu and use the "run macro" command to access the new page. Some issue here with how the program aligns with MS Excel, I think..any others have thoughts? Great updates, anyway...!regards,

What Excel version are you guys using?Did you try renaming the file to "Dispatcher 3B9.xls" as I suggested above?

Strange, I did not encounter this problem with MS office XP professional. Maybe you need to rename the file as suggested above.Michael

OK i got to try this program, and I check it against how I usually do things and I gotta say....nice. But one thing the ZFW I take it you would have to go into your aircraft cfg. and manually change it? I have a program that does do it for me but I need to know the # of pass. onboard.Am I missing something or doing something wrong?Brian
