Volker..............
Ian at Navigraph says an update is imminent.

Volker..............
Will you need to make any adjustments to include this new pair of aircraft?
Mathijs indicates that Navigraph has to adjust their installer before Navigraph will work with those aircraft.

Yes, I'm using Tropical Sim's KDCA. I've had it for a couple of years and I've never had any indication that it caused problems anywhere.
I checked and the version I have is up to date. I'm not sure how that would effect the graphic in FSC.

I also noticed that when the Airport Information window is active, it shows no ILS frequncies for any of the runways.

Terrence,
As far as I can tell, all of my options are set correctly. I've double checked everything.
The fact that the surrounding airport's runways display properly would indicate that, I think.
When I bring up the map, that runway graphic doesn't appear.
I could be overlooking something, but I can't think what that might be.
By the way, how were you able to make that pic? I use FRAPS, but it doesn't allow pics that aren't in the Flight Simulator.

In setting up a flight plan from KEWR to KDCA, I noticed that there are no ILS graphics for that airport when using the map settings. Surrounding airports do have that information though. I was able to get that data through other means. It's only the graphic data that seems to be missing.

I think we can close this now.

I do remember R.R.s memo but,why does the flight plan with sid & stars load for the 737?
I'll do a 777 test and we'll see what happens.

Terence..........
Thanks for the info. I don't know how I missed that.

Volker........
Re my previous post, I failed to mention that I tried this plan on a PMDG 737 after the problems with the 777. Same airport etc. Everything worked as it should.

This is the first time I've run across this in a long time.
I created a flight plan from KBOS to CYHZ. Added Sid & stars, plan looked fine. Saved and printed. Checked the printed waypoints with the actual plan - everything OK.
Fired up FSX, loaded PMDG 777 at gate B 34. Opened the FMC, did the usual pre-business and attemtped to enter the plan as a company plan. Message on FSM says - Invalid Flight plan.
Shut down everything, checked FSC and double checked flight plan. No apparent problems. Tried again - same problem. Then, I added KBOS and CYHZ indiviually and when I checked the plan, every waypoint between the end of the Sid and the beginning of the Star was missing.
This is one I can't figure out.

Thanks. I had an idea the magnetic variations were out of date in FS but that yours and Navigraphs were up to date.
By the way, I do have Aerosoft's Madrid Mega Airport.

Volker..............
The FSC Sid selection graphic shows data for Runway 14 L&R and 36 L&R, but nothing for 32L&R. These are the ILS runways.
Just to make things a bit more confusing, the official Madrid charts list Runway 15 L&R and 33 L&R.
In trying to make a flight plan starting at Madrid, there seems to be no way to have a Sid for 32 L&R (or 33 L&R). Is it possible to adjust this or is this a possible Navigraph problem?

Volker/Otto...........
Just as I thought. I've done one test flight using the operational 7L/25R with no problems, but haven't tried the newer one - 7R/25L.
Thanks for the response.
Jack

Volker...........
Will the situation be the same for this airport as is for Calgary? Meaning that since this airport doesn't actiually open until sometime next year and the new runway at Calgary hasn't come on line yet that there will be no data available for flight plans to use runway 7R/25L? I'm assuming that Navigraph won't have the data either, making it not possible for FSC to use the new aiport runway. I know we can still use the exisiting runway (7L/25R).
I just wanted to be sure.

Volker............
Thank you for clearing it up. I always thought those folks in Vancouver are a little strange.
As I said, the rest of that particular plan is just fine so no large problem for me.
Jack
-
Volker.....
There was one thing I forgot to ask you about. How was it possible for Otto to be able to have that huge number of SIDS show up, since Michael and I didn't even come close to that number?
Jack

Volker............
Patience is my middle name.(lol)
The Flight Plan still works just fine. After takeoff, I just swing around and head for the first waypoint.

Downloaded Airac 1402 (the latest). Nothing changed. Still can't assign SIDS.
Jack
-
Michael...........
FYI, I thought about the Airac also and checked Navigraph. There is a newer version of 1401 (Revision 3) which I installed yesterday. It didn't help the problem however. At least at CYVR.
I noticed just a bit ago that Airac 1402 has been released this morning. Possibly that will fix things.
Jack

Otto..........
Nope. Didn't work. Tried distances 50 miles up to 150 miles. Nothing showed.
Looking at your pic, I noticed that the airport Vancouver wasn't selected at the Flight Plan list. Also my SID list shows the following:
4 for 8L, 5 for 8R, 1 for 12, 4 for 26L, 2 for 26R, 1 for 30 = 17 Sids
Your pic show many more than my list shows. How is that possible?
I'm using Navigraph Airac 1401, which is the most current and FSC 9.5.

Otto...........
A correction. I misread your response, so here's what happened.
No, I didn't click on "add to plan" because there was nothing to click. In other words, as I clicked a SID in the list, there was no showing of it in the visual representation of the Flight Plan as should happen.
-
Otto............
Of course. Further, I tried to activate all 17 SIDS but nothing happened.
Jack

After completing a Flight Plan from CYVR to CYYC, I attempted to insert a SID as listed for CYVR. Although there seems to be a complete listing of SIDS, when trying to make a selection, nothing happens. I tried every possible SID but none were ever activated.
Any solution to this?

Aerosoft Airbus A318/319 (solved)
in (Former) FS Commander Support Forum
Posted
Volker...........
After all of the trouble in installing the latest Navigraph for A 318/319, it appears that that Navigraph does not follow the "all addons or all products" that they use for QW and PMDG. They (Navigraph) have it listed as a separate aircraft and so far I"m getting "not in the database". I don't know for sure, but it appears that Aerosoft did not make flight plans 100% compatible between the A 320 and the
A 318/319, but for sure it's not all automatic, at least so far.
