I've noticed an issue with my learned airport files: the contents are overwritten every time the files are saved and it only keeps the most recent updates and not the previous updates. Is that supposed to happen or is there something wrong with my installation?

 

For example, from my current log:

17:54:24 "airports\learned\thirdparty\INIBUILDS\KDTW.xml" saved with 3 updates and one or more parameter changes
20:01:55 "airports\learned\thirdparty\FlyTampa\KBOS.xml" saved with 88 updates 

Looking at those learned airport files, the KDTW file contains 3 updates (all day 6) and not the past updates (I've done quite a number of flights into KDTW in recent days). The KBOS file contains 88 updates (all day 6), and not the past updates.

 

Edit: just returned to KDTW. Logfile says: 21:44:15 "airports\learned\thirdparty\INIBUILDS\KDTW.xml" saved with 6 updates 
Learned airport file contains 6 updates and doesn't contain the 3 updates from earlier today.

Hi,

Yeah, in 10.9.4 - while refeactoring-  a bug slipped in.

Try 10.9.5 pls.

P.S. You were right about disappearing updates due to this bug, but remember, there is one (weekly) occasion that makes some updates disappear:

if a new offline airport file is read, some of your updates of last week will be already available in the airport file, and are therefore no longer stored in your learned file.

That solved it, thanks!

Keep in mind that from RT perspective  KDTW is poorly covered airport. Very sad fact for such a lovely scenery.

True. Coverage has improved, but still leaves a lot to be desired. But that's also why I noticed the problem: I had put some time in my learned airport file for KDTW to counter the bad coverage (by manually inputting the correct parking spots) and now I'll get to do that again ;).

I think G-YMML1 meant poor traffic with poor coverage, not lack of stands...

If you want more stands edit the airports\park_airport.xml file and send it to me, then I'll put it in the archive.

That's also what I meant, but I wasn't really clear (I added the correct parking spots for the traffic that departed/landed while I was parked in KDTW).
