@Leonidas
You are right EKCH has an error in ILS. I use an older Payware Scenery for EKCH and i look with ADE in the BGL File.
The ILS is not in all directions in center.
What scenery for EKCH do you use?
Thanks for all our help
Regards Dieter

No other scenery, just P3D v.3.4...

OK, i check the stock Airport in FSX.

But look at here: https://flyawaysimulation.com/downlo...date-for-ekch/
I don't know if it helps.

Hi JL,
some things take longer.


In the morning I read your post from yesterday, and at this time I understand what you tell me.
If I understand you and the process for creating navdata right, then network is not possible at all.
My scenerys not all installed in FSX. In this case your module read a path from scenery.cfg e.g. "D:\Scenery\..."
And this path is not readable over the network in this moment of course.
I did not think about the process of creating the navdata.
What is your recommendation for users he has a dedicated FMGS Server?
Install FMGS Server on FSX / P3D Computer too, but only for creating the navdata?

Regarding EKCH, there are many ILS/RWYs. They probably changed the frequency and the rwy names since the FSX/P3D scenery was built. SO it is difficult to extract the BGL data.
Did you both use the ILS update tool from Hervé Sors? this is probably the ONLY useful addon other than my software (ahah).

@dkreiskott: next version will support the UNC path (was not a big change). But this will not take into account the addon scenery outside FSX folder.
If you really want to use the shared path, you may try to change the paths in your Scenery.cfg to UNC paths for each addon scenery... This may be a tedious work...
What I personally do is install the FMGS Server on the FSX/P3D computer (or even just copy the FMGS server folder...) to build the navdata there. Then I share the navdata folder, so it is rather straight forward to copy the bin files afterwards on each PC.
You could even probably make some batch file to copy them for you.
I plan to improve the navdata sharing, but it's not a top priority item right now.

No I didn't, but I'm going to use it...
What's top priority right now?

Hi JL,

I think I install FMGS Server on the FSX Computer then the Update is in function correct.
I suspect the *.dll Files are importent to create the navdata?

And I think I can help you, if you want.
I have for me in the home cockpit written a little tool to distribute the *.BIN Files and the Navdata1 and Navdata2 Folder to the Clients after Airac Change or update your Software.

What does it do

It works on Network, inkl. UNC Shares

Checks the Folder for new Airac
Deletes the BIN Files in Navdata Folder from FMGS Server
Starts FMGS Server and wait if all Files created
Then close FMGS Server
Copy all *.BIN Files and Navdata Folders to the Client

The Tool is in english and fully configurable.

Ups, some text is missing in my post


If you interested, I can send you a copy for testing.
And if it is OK for you, you can distribute it for free with your Software.

Did you mean the Navaid Update on this Website? http://sors.fr/aero/navaids3.html

[OmniAtlas]

Probably wise to do all the navigation updates from Sors website, but the only one I've done is the Magnetic Variation (to save time) - http://www.aero.sors.fr/navaids.html

Hopefully with P3D V4 this will be updated.
