GPS Problems

Featured Replies

hey folks,For some reason, some of the airports won't show up on the GPS. This only happens when i'm planning an ILS approach at the departure airport (while parked at gate). So far, the only airports that don't show up are CYYZ(Toronto/Pearson Intl.) and CYWG (Winnipeg Intl.). In otherwords, the GPS doesn't show a map of the airports with the ILS path and, it doesn't show the options for the runway approach or vectors just the name and the type of airport it is (eg. CYYZ: Public) If anyone knows how to fix this, let me knowtowerdude

More common in the early days of FSX when there was a lot of interest in bringing over FS9 airports, and devs used to AFCAD weren't up to speed on approaches. scott s..

i honestly don't get this. how can that contribute to me losing 2 airports on the GPS. trust me, i can't land the plane on the runway without the help of the GPS with the autopilot on the whole way. now i have to do it manually which means i'll land somewere else at the airport and possibly crash some were in the middle of nowere.
