June 14, 201114 yr Does any one knows how I can execute a request for VoxATC to use RNAV approach to a RW?(my case I wanted RNAV30 at LLGB using SIRON transition). Joel Strikovsky
June 15, 201114 yr If the approach type is in the airport's bgl, then it should appear in the VoxATC menu when you contact Approach. Stock LLBG has 3 VORD and 2 ILS procedures. I didn't see any approaches in the FSAddon version when I looked.Perhaps you could request a Visual approach from ATC and fly the Rnav on your HSI? (It's either that or code the approach into the airport scenery.)

VoxATC does not use Navigraph approach data.Approaches that we can pick in an FMS (or in FlightSim Commander or AivlaSoft EFB) are not necessarily related to VoxATC approaches. (It is possible that they might the same, but it is just as possible that they are not.)As far as I can tell, VoxATC scans any addon scenery for approach data, and also scans the default scenery as well. Since you and I use FSAddon and it has no approach data, VoxATC uses the default scenery data.

June 16, 201114 yr is there a easy tool that I can see in the BGL what is the approach data?There are a few - I prefer the freeware Airport Design Editor from Jon "Scruffyduck" Masterson. It's well worth a look and a donation if one is able.and what BGL file usually should I be looking for in an airport addon?There is no standard filename. That's up to the developer.In the case of FSAddon's LLBG, the file in question is AFX_LLBG.bgl. (By default, that's found in \Microsoft Flight Simulator X\FSAddon\BenGurionX\Scenery\)If you wanted to check the stock scenery, you'd look in \Microsoft Flight Simulator X\scenery\0702\scenery\APX57200.bgl
