Hello,
When Basestation.sqb file was created and updated in BaseStation SBS-1 program v.1.2.3.161, then the report's function "Show path taken on map" is available.
But if that same file was continuing to DatabaseWriter plugin, in the report there is no way to display the flight path on the map.
In the Options chosen only first: "ticked in the Enabled box".

The "Show path taken on map" option is only shown if the aircraft transmits its location. The plugin does write the start and finish coordinates for such flights, I've been using the plugin since I wrote it and all of the reports from it for aircraft that transmit locations do show the option.
I've looked up today's flights of THY51 - the two flights I have were both flown by TC-JJE and every flight I've got recorded for that aircraft has the option to show the paths on the report. If you could upload your database to one of the file sharing sites like Dropbox or SkyDrive, and then PM or email me to let me know the address of it, I'll download it and see if I can figure out what's going on.

I'm seeing the same problem when feeding VRS / DatabaseWriter from Planeplotter.
What appears to be happening is that the plugin is storing 0.0 in the FirstLat and FirstLon fields for the flights table. This seems to prevent VRS from offering to display the flight path on the map when running reports. When looking at the map in real-time everything behaves as expected and the trail accurately records the flight's progress.
I guess the fix would be to not record FirstLat, FirstLon until a value other than 0,0 is seen ?

That's no problem, I'll do that for the next release.

Great! I'm finding VRS to be an increasingly powerful application. Keep up the good work.

The fix in the latest version seems to be working nicely.
Thanks,
