Just when I thought I understood how it works.
My understanding is that if you have pictures in your data sub directory then the system does not look at the network and will not update your local data.
In my area I have a PA28 - ZS-PZR that is using it's old Mode S code of A7CA1C. I have pictures of the aircraft in my local directory. Recently N60033, an Air Tractor was added to the database as a new registration. My local data now keeps getting overwritten with the info of N60033 (except the aircraft type which stays a PA28.
Obviously I would prefer my data not to be overwritten as there is little chance that N60033 will pay me a visit. Is there any way to prevent this without turning off the auto populate which I need for network flights?

I thought network flights were not recorded in the database.

This is one of the problems with using miscodes, everything goes well until the correct aircraft goes into the system.
Network flights are recorded in the d/b if you click on them, handy for updating your navdata.

Ok - so auto populate goes off ;)

Chris, nothing will be updated if autopopulate is unitcked, caught between a rock and a hard place with this one, sorry I cant help but maybe someone with more knowledge of the system than me will assist.
You could always try and get the operator to update his transponder ;-)
