Version 3.3.113

• Updates the database for the FAA files effective from 0901Z 3/17/2005 to 0900Z 5/12/2005.

Version 3.3.111

This release:

• Updates the database for the FAA files effective from 0901Z 11/25/04 to 0900Z 1/20/2005.

Version 3.3.110

• Updates the database for the FAA files effective from 0901Z 9/30/04 to 0900Z 11/25/2004.
• Changes the web location for the winds aloft data to reflect changes made by the NOAA. In addition the downloading is a bit faster as there are now only three files to download rather than six. Also, it appears that the winds are now updated every six hours rather than every twelve.

Version 3.3.109

This release is to update the database for the FAA files effective from 0901Z
8/5/04 to 0900Z 9/30/04.

This was particularly complicated as the FAA has added several hundred
intersections to correspond with various grid coordinates to facilitate their
high-altitude route program and other off-airways routings. This necessitated a
change some of the internal structures. In addition, while making this change,
all references in the software and help files to “NAVX 2003” were changed to
“NAVX 2004”.

Version 3.3.108.1 (Program files 3.3.108)

This release is to update the database for the FAA files effective from 0901Z
6/10/04 to 0900Z 8/5/04.

Version 3.3.108

This release is primarily to update the database for the FAA files effective from 0901Z 4/15/04 to 0901Z 6/10/04.

In addition:

• fix display of gallons versus pounds and miles versus nautical miles in numerous locations including the print option and the status line.

Version 3.3.107

This release is primarily to update the database for the FAA files effective from 2/19/04 through 4/14/2004.

In addition:

• fix date/time last modified for add/change/delete/undelete in the fix lookup screens.  Although this information is accurate in the distributed database, NAVX itself was not updating it.
• "New Winds Handling" is partially implemented.  It is selected by selecting the corresponding parameter in the 3rd parameters tab.  If this is selected, winds will automatically be calculated every time your route is changed.  If no wind is found for a particular location then "calm" will be used and ISA for the appropriate altitude will be used for temperature.  You will *never* be prompted for wind entry.  Do not select this option if you want to be able to zero winds or enter your own winds.  These restrictions are temporary as eventually New Winds Handling will be standard.
• "Use PTIME" appears on the 3rd parameter tab.  Currently this does nothing although in the next few releases NAVX will start using PTIME (if entered) to determine appropriate wind data and will extrapolate the wind data based on time.
