NAVDATA. The only thread please! (Read 91672 times)

	After I noticed that Airports like LEPA (Palma de Mallorca) KABQ (Albuquerque) or KSAF (Santa Fe) are not in the database of Block F I found the *.db's and one MS access file in the navigation folder. But adding the missing airports in the files brought no change. Is there just one missing link when editing the database or is the editing of these files completely useless ?

	We are working on the idea to make it possible for users to edit the database without risk of damaging the whole thing.

	As you might know Navigr*** has released their new Airac cycle 0804 today. Are there any news or could you please let us know if any of their releases work with Block F? Or just let us know whos your third party navdata develloper? kind regards, hamter

	Some days ago I opened a request-thread in the Navdata/Navigraph support forums. Unfortunately, I did not receive any reply yet. Maybe some of you can also drop a line there to show I�m not the only one who wants navigraph support for the 757. Here�s the link: http://forum.navdata.at/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=956 Unfortunately it seems though that Richard Stefan (the man who releases the AIRACs for Navigraph) is very busy at the moment, because the promised Terminal Procedures for another addon are also overdue for months now.

	It seems like the MS ACCESS file which is also used by w*o is completely outdated. It is a file from 2004, whereas the db files are the files which are up to date. Ive compared several databases from other aircraft developpers and the only similarity i found was between CS and the s a310 database. I havent checked all releases of navig*** though. The reason Im asking here is that Captain Sim stated to use a third party developper for future Navdata updates.

	NavData.mdb file is OLD navdata file that comes with Block B. Block F FMS does not use it at all. It uses files dated 2008 only.

Thanks. I dont see why these Aeronautical Data including Terminal Procedures areint included in the Ver 2.0 of the F block. I have all the blocks and now i havent to spend 35 pounds more to have everything again just to get the Aeronautical Data including Terminal Procedures. Why?

	Also wondering because of these terminal proccedures being ONLY added to the Pro pack, is the reason behind why i cant make a flightplan with FSNavigator export it to FS2004 and import it to the 757 CDU. Because before Ver 2.0 importing worked just fine.

	So whats it all about with this free bonus feature? � Aeronautical Data including Terminal Procedures Can anyone who bought the full pro pack confirm a change in navdata to the prereleased Block F? Is the Airac0804 included, or are there more procedures, waypoints, are you able to edit the navdata? Im a bit disappointed not having any navdata updates although theyre needed. There too arent any news of Terry Yingling who was ment to be updating the CSs data

	Hey CaptainSim Team, I�ve said it multiple times, but current AIRACs would be very important, especially for the online pilots. I can understand you don�t want to talk about things that aren�t decided yet, but could you at least tell whether or not you are thinking about the option of a partnership with Navigraph and/or have spoken to them, or is that not at all an option for you?! Thanks, Martin

	Well thank you. Thats all I wanted, a definite answer. Its just hard without any information to not keep asking. So for now I will keep waiting. @melb00m: Richard doesnt seem to be very interested in the forum anymore. He hasnt been about for quite a while. It woul be nice to have him make the Airacs for CS as they are very complete. There must be another way of contacting him.
