What is the situation with the latest GC builds.
Do we still have to use the "TestNavData vers. 10" or can we use Navigraph latests now...?

I'm using 0710 with no apparent problems at the moment. The runway approach problem still exists but that is a CDU issue I believe. The SID and STARs seem to be working. I see no other reason why we would have to use the older AIRAC data unless the guys at PM did some special work on those particular files.
I had no choice to update since I fly to O'Hare all the time and couldn't stand seeing 27L/9R and 27R/9L listed instead of 27L/9R and 28/10, as well as the updated SAYRS2 arrival.

The problem is that when you enter an approach after inputting a STAR, it erases and/or jacks up your existing route. The workaround as I pointed out in another post was that I only select the approach after the last STAR fix and then go direct to the first fix of the approach, unless I am on getting vectors from ATC.

Hello
I'm using the newest 0713 airac from Navigraph.
The complete route issue works already better with the latest CDU beta update, but the some of wellknown problems are remaining. As we all know by now, these has nothing to do with the Navdata, but with the PM CDU. According info Enrico is working hard to rewrite the cdu source, so we must be patient for the moment I think. The only thing we can do is hoping it comes ok in a not to distant futur. As when flying online, we simply need up to date data info.
