I agree with this. My TCE, my data and no one else's! If I want info on the systems around me I will fly there and get it.
edit - I guess I have just forthded or fifthded it

I also had this problem along with the slow summary panel. What fixed it for me is in my reply to Abil Midena.
Hello everyone,
I like to show you all a new function of the Position Display of TCE comming with the next update.
The Position Display showing your current position in ED as you know, but now you can click onto it to get some case-sensitive button to open the database panel for star systems, trade markets and stored locations.
First off, I added a new database panel for locations, like combat zones, resource extractions and point of interest, equal to the Markets Database panel. With it, you can add, modify and delete locations as you did with trade markets.
With a click on the Position Display, two buttons appearing below the display showing two options, which depending on the displayed content of the Position Display.
When showing "Unknown Star System": NEW STAR SYSTEM and MODIFY STAR SYSTEM.
When showing "Star System Name : Sector XX": NEW MARKET and NEW LOCATION.
When showing "Star System Name : Trade Market Name": MODIFY MARKET and DELETE MARKET.
When showing "Star System Name : Location Name": MODIFY LOCATION and DELETE LOCATION.
A click on a button opens the corresponding Database panel and selects New, Modify or Delete Entry in advance.
This should reduce the repeative DATABASE > MARKETS > NEW ENTRY clicks and resulting in an easier way to add/modify entries of the database.
The update will be available on sunday, so I hope.

Tried this today, but it didn't help. Thanks tho.
Your welcome. Sorry it didn't help though.
Can you give me your database and the Tce.ini file to make some performance tests?
Thanks
Sent to your email 1500 GMT.
Can you give me your database (eventure(at)ki.tng.de)?
@Abil Midena
First testing runs fine, from pressing "LAUNCH TCE" to the appearance of the UI it needs 21 seconds here.

For me, I just tested, it got to about 3/4 or 7/8 of the way in about 22 sec, then seemed to hang and not complete until 1 min 35 sec.
edit* I will add that sometimes TCE is fast with detecting a change in location, other times it is very slow. I have not been able to pin it to a particular circumstance, like times visited, number of stations, etc. I have been hanging around in the same general area (say 50 LY) of the bubble since installing 1.1.5 fwiw. I always found the location detection to be very fast in the last version I used (1.0.2).

Update (1.1.6) released:
Changelog:
- Added new Location Database panel to add, modify and delete stored locations.
- Added a clock (local/UTC) display, activate it at the Options panel.
- Added two context-sensitive command buttons below the Position Display. Click the display to show them.
- Added location X/Y/Z columns to the TCE_Locations.db to detect locations properly on planets with multiple locations, like markets. Applied before launch.
- Added auto-select when modify a star system missing an apostrophe in the name at the Star System Database panel.
- Added some missing translations.
- Increased performance of position detection and first time Navigation panel opening.
- Fixed Logbook entries now properly added, when reaching a location with shared Sector ID, instead of replacing the entry.
- Fixed Show Summary button displaying outside of the Region Summary tab at the the Navigation panel.
- Fixed the Destination button highlight, when reaching the destination at the Navigation panel.
- Changed entry ID of TCE_Locations.db to be sequential. Applied on loading.
- Removed ability to add/modify stored location from the Navigation panel. The Location Database panel is now used instead.
Note:
Copy the content into your TCE folder to update your version.

Hi Eventure,
Trying out 1.1.6.
Thanks for the clock. Enabled and set to UTC. Working fine.
Initial selection of Nav panel is now near instant. Nice.
Unfortunately, location detection for arriving at a different system/starport is the same (can be very slow). I'm guessing something between 1.0.2 and 1.1.5 along with my computer, has made it slow. Have you tried using my DB and going to a few different systems? If it's not my DB, I'll just have to get used to not using TCE for navigation.
Also, I noticed that in the trade panel if a port sells and buys an item, it's not listed in the "Imports" list. If it only buys an item, then it's listed. Is that right? Is it possible to have all items that a port buys, regardless if it also sells it, listed as an import?
Thanks,
Abil

Please try to use a clean database to check, if the problem persists.
A market, which sells and buys a good is normally listed under exports only, because it's sell price is mostly below the average of the good.

Hi,
it's not fitting my screen resolution and my monitor is 1920 x 1200.
The top panel fits perfect but the bottom panels do not.
Looks like it's stuck at 1920 x 1080.
How can I resize it to 1920 x 1200?
Many thanks.

Used TCE to create a backup of the DB. I also copied the DB folder to another location. Deleted TCE folder. Installed 1.1.5, then pasted in the 1.1.6 update files.
Load time for TCE was about 24 sec. It was 1 min, 25 sec before.
Location detection for entering a new system was always near instant. Dropping from SC to a station/outpost was a max of about 5 sec before it updated saying the sector.
So, it appears something about my DB is causing the load issue and the slow location detection. Is it possible the DB is fine, but as the size of the DB, as it grows, eventually slows things down?
I am going to use TCE to import my backup and will report back.
