June 8, 200916 yr I have replicated on 4 different flight plans in my MD-11X where the final destination's field elevation is programmed as FL300 (or any other FL). This of course throws off the TOD to the last way point prior to the destination. I thought that perhaps I had corrupted the nav database, so I did a fresh reinstall of 0906 with the same result, so thinking that I perhaps corrupted the MD-11 (somehow?) I just performed a reinstall with the same problem. I have done my best to scan the manuals but I haven't found anything yet (still perusing...) Any ideas? Thanks, guys!

June 8, 200916 yr Odd.. where specifically are you seeing the destination elevation? I assume this is after setting up the INIT page (ORIG/DEST IACOs, Cruise FL and CI fields). Dan Downs KCRP
June 8, 200916 yr Author Odd.. where specifically are you seeing the destination elevation? I assume this is after setting up the INIT page (ORIG/DEST IACOs, Cruise FL and CI fields).Yeah, exactly - I set up the init page and go in and enter in the flight plan legs and that's where it shows the expected altitude crossing that fix. It was working fine up until I updated with 0906 from Navigraph, which really makes me think somehow I botched up the NavData. Since the Navdata folder is shared by all PMDG planes (I think) then I'm led to believe that I'll have to uninstall the MD-11 and the 74 to fix it. If I get a chance I'm going to replicate this in the 74 and see if perhaps the nav data is corrupt across the board...

June 9, 200916 yr Author Yep, the 74's data was also off. I reinstalled 0905 and the data was great, reinstalled the version I had downloaded of 0906 and it was corrupt again. So I downloaded a new 0906, installed it, and everything's back to normal. It sure was weird to have an off download!

June 9, 200916 yr Paul, do you still have a copy of the corrupt cycle 0906 navdata?? If so, please email the zip to me at [email protected] and I will try to figure out how it managed to mangle the destination altitude. This is just for my curiosity, the only place that navdata provides elevations is in the wpNavAPT.txt file where there is an elevation field for each runway. If you do send it, let me know the ICAO(s) where the problem occured. Thanks. Dan Downs KCRP
