nixdevelopment Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Generate AIRAC database for TOPER using Navigraph-PSS Download the utility (v1.0.0) Install PSS Navigraph to a temporary directory, or use existing PSS installation. Make sure that the utility (.exe) file is in the same folder as NavData directory, for example: C:\PSS\toper-db-updater.exe C:\PSS\NavData\... Two files will be generated: airports_10.dat and runways_10.dat . Please move these files to the main TOPER installation directory overwriting previous versions.

Blaunarwal Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 For all like me who did not understand, download the PSS Navigraph data here https://www.navigraph.com/FmsDataManualInstall.aspx Then install to a drive you like e.g.G:\Program Files (x86) You'll get a PSS directory there. Put toper-db-updater.exe into this directory and run it. Copy the runways_10.dat and airports_10.dat to the Toper Calculator Tool directory and overwrite the older ones. That's it.

sho69607 Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Tried doing this however Toper still says Airac 1303. Both airports_10 and runways_10 are updated, but airports.dat still says the file is from 2013. Does this mean the airac cycle was not updated correctly?

Yes, if the AIRAC cycle still stays the same, this indicates failure of the DB generation. Please try the procedure again and let me know if the problem persists.

Looks like that Navigraph made a mistake on their end when compiling data for the Feb. this year. Not much I can do from my side, except to add support for some nav format other than PSS.

nixdevelopment Posted March 1 Author Report Share Posted March 1 I have a quick hot-fix: download and install Sublime Text Editor (it's free) open the PSSRWY.dat Go to Find -> Replace in the Find textbox add -999.000000 in the Replace textbox add 99.000000 note: there are two empty spaces before the minus sign (up) and the first nine (down), something like __-999.00000 and __99.000000 hit Replace All Save changes Update utility should be working fine now.
