Default Updating B-100

I've updated the B100 to version 1.6 so I can load turnpoints from the
PC. I've placed the turnpoint file (asa_2004.ndb) in the B100 folder and
run both the turnpoint utility and then the version update. It seemed to
work, but I can't find the newly loaded turnpoint file in the
Instrument. It's not in the Custom area (1-50) or in the factory
supplied database's. There is an area @ the end of the factory files for
what appears to be additional files. What did I miss??

Hi Paul - From the B100TP.TXT instruction file:

(5) At the B100, the sites you have added with the patcher are
available at the end of the built-in sites (set the "Current
Site" to ~ #79).

Hope this helps, otherwise give me a ring,
Best Regards, Dave

HI Dave and Thanks!

The database I tried to load exceeded the max number of turnpoints
(249). I trimmed the file down and ran the update again. The turnpoint
file loaded as advertised.

The 3D flies tomorrow weather permitting! The SN-10 will be installed
later to bring the instrumentation up to the performance capabilities of
the machine.
