Add missing airports to Nav database?

[OmniAtlas]

Thanks bindook - will give this another go. Not too sure why I can't get additional Navdata compiled into the FMGS now.

Do you know if there Is is there a way to add RMP approaches with additional.txt? I am interested in the Queenstown 05 and 23 approach.

I need to actually check if this is already incorporated RNAV Y.

Hi Ben,
I have flown the NZQN approaches (not for a while now) from memory I think the navdata is not correct (missing waypoints etc).....leave it with me as It is easier to check it in the sim.

I also forgot to mention that the new update includes RNAV approaches for VTBS (Bangkok).

Ok.....have checked the NZQN files...

Talk about confusing!!!


There is a RNV05 F G H Only have chart for F
RNV23 F G H Only have chart for G
RNV F G H

No RNV (RNP) Y - 05/23 This can be added into the additional.txt

Cheers bindook - RNP are usually airline specific which is why they are not distributed with the database. Unfortunate, but at least we have a way to hack it in.

Some shots from our recent trip to the beautiful South Island ("Southern Alps"), and of course the landing to Runway 23 Queenstown NZQN. It is spectacular going through the valley.









This Air New Zealand A320 looks tiny compared to the mountains



Our landing - beautiful approach, and now to try it out in the sim!

Wow, fantastic. Thank you bindook -- I will give this a go tonight. I've updated the website Resource section with your latest file. Cheers.

For some reason VHHX still does not load (not found in database error).

However, NZQN RNAV23-Y can now be integrated onto the flight plan.

Fantastic work! Not too sure where you were able to find information on the latitude and longitude for these waypoints??

Cheers,

Ben

Ok, figured out why it was not working. I was deleting the other files in navdata1 and navdata2 -- you should retain all files in these folders, do not delete them, and place the additional.txt inside the folder.

VHHX now alive.

Good to hear......if you find any problems with nzqn let me know.
