    Re: Navigation Database

    Both navigraph and I have issued a fix. You can update my software and/or download the revised navdata (online in the next hours), the result should be the same.
    You'll have to recompile the navdata in my software in both cases (delete bin files).

    Re: Navigation Database

    Wow, that was indeed a very fast fix JL and Navdata.
    Thanks again. I will check this tonight and report later.

    Smile Re: Navigation Database

    Hi all,

    JL you're the man!
    Tonight I switched again back from Aerosoft to the latest Navigraph DB 1602 and updated JL software to 44.4 with DME fix.
    I tested the LOC/DME approach at one of my favourite airports Calvi LFKC, because there I made my PPL/IFR rating some long time ago.
    And voilą, all seems to be good. DME shows correct distances now with Navigraph DB as it should.
    Now we can use either AS or Navigraph DB's again.
    I can't speak for other biased DME approaches, because I didn't test them, but I think the problem is solved for now.
    Maybe some other simmers can test and report back too.
    Merci, merci, merci JL.

    Regards
    Laszlo

    Re: Navigation Database

    I tested Jeehell some time ago and got an Aerosoft DB which I put in Navdata 1 & 2 which worked.
    Now getting it into my sim I downloaded Jeehellware from Navigrapg as I have an account. It gave me an exe file which by default put data in a users/app data/roaming file. Did not work so manually copied the data file into Navdata 1&2 but that didn't work either. Reverted to Aerosoft and completed my first autopilot flight, ILS approach, big milestone.
    What should I have done with the Navigraph file?

    Re: Navigation Database

    Barry, delete all the .bin files in Navdata folder of FMGS before copying the Navigraph .dat
    file to Navdata1 and Navdata2.
    Then start FMGS only and wait to recompile the data with the Navigraph DB. It takes a few minutes.
    That's how I did it and it worked.
    Cheers

    Re: Navigation Database

    Barry,

    on the FMGS server computer you have the following file:
    c:\A320FMGS\navdata\FSScenery.cfg
    Inside that file, you have a line :
    AerosoftPath=C:\Users\youruser\AppData\Roaming\JeeHellWare
    This is not a well chosen name, because now indeed Navigraph is on the market again...
    But the AerosoftPath should point to the path where you will install the navdata. By default it is in "youruser" roaming folder.
    If crosschecking that it works, you can copy the navrecord.dat produced by the DB installer into
    c:\A320FMGS\Navdata\Navdata1
    (copying the old navdata1 into navdata2)
    then delete all the .bin files in c:\A320FMGS\Navdata (there should be 9 of them).
    On next software start it will recompile the data (takes several minutes).

    Regards,
    JL

    Re: Navigation Database

    Has anyone tried LOC DME East of Innsbruck LOWI runway 26?
    I found that the LOC from FMGS and database waypoints (on Nav display) are offset
    Also the LOC is not guide the aircraft to runway center line (Aerosoft LOWI scenery).
    (May be because FMGS does not use the ILS Signal from FS)?
    Thanks

    If I remember correctly the localizer is not directly aligned like it is in real life.

    Re: Navigation Database

    Innsbruck is a Loc/DME on the charts, in FS it works as an offset ILS. If the ILS lined up with the runway you would have to fly through a mountain. There are many instances round the world, the old Hong Kong approach is a classic, the ILS there would not put you on a runway! Runway 5 at EGNR is another example. There is not an error on FMGS.
