I have Eric's great A320 panel working, have installed all the various bug fixes and updates. Whilst the Nav Database works and the data is displayed on the gauge, but I cannot get the FMC to pick up any of the Flight Plans I have created. Do the flight plans stay in the default FS9 folder, who are they required to be copied elsewhere?Thanks for any helpRob Payne

How did you get the nav database to work?I downloaded the program that is needed and I think I copied it to FS 9 but whenever I hit the airport or vor button on the display it says inop.I got the flight plan to come up just by loading it in flight planner.Can you give me a step by step on how you got the nav database working?Thanks,Ron

The route should show up automatically. You program it in your flight planner for GPS as per usual, then when you're in the A320 panel, you just hit the CSTR button up on the left and the route should be there.Lee

Me neither. The Nav Database doesnt work in FS9 for me. Get no info in the EFI (no waypoints, airports, etc). Just like never existed.Please help.Pedro

The confusion seems to be with what we mean by the Nav database. With me I can see the route's magenta line and the waypoint in the flight plan, but I can't see any other VOR, airport, etc. Dave Vega

I am talking about Tony D'Ambrosio's nd2k_13.zip.This program is required to make the data base work.The download site is included in the readme or instructions.I have downloaded it and it self installed in fs2k2.The I copied it the database and program to the main fs9 folder.It still doesn't show up in the gauge where airports and vor info is supposede to be.Just says inop.Hope I am making myself understood.Thanks,Ron

Yes, I could never get the panel to tie in with Nav Database, but yesterday, I had to re-install the panel. When I did so, the Nav Database data came up on the gauge. So effectively what I have done is load Nav Database to the default location within FS9 then load the panel.It worked for me.Thinking about it, one file, that I loaded with the panel this time that I don't recall loading before is a CFG file which I found on Eric's web site which goes into the Gauges Folder. That may have made the difference.Robbo

Robbo,I'd be interested to hear the precise steps you took to get the Nav Database to work.I'm running the A320 in FS2004 with the FS2002 A320.gau as the FS2004 update wouldn't load. The Nav database is installed, but when I run the utility to scan FS2004 scenery, it seems to abort after a few seconds. The A320 flies just fine, but it would be nice to see the airports, VORs etc. displayed.Looking at Eric's site, I can see no reference to any cfg file, only the panel downloads and replacement bitmaps.Cheers,Alastair

What I did was to install the nav database for the A330 way back when POSKY released the V3, then couple days ago I installed the A320 panel (with gauges), then the first 2004 gauge upgrade overwriting the old, and then finally the 2nd a320 gauge upgrade ("bug fix" listed on the front page - A320v22_patch.zip).Works like a charm and this was the approach I did with the A330 as well, first the panel upgrade and then the bugfix.Im figuring maybe somebody accidentially installed the bug fix first then overwrote it with the 1st panel upgrade or something like that :)

Where did you put the unzipped nd2k_13 program.It has an installer right?How did you doit?Thanks,Ron

Yes it has an installer. I just ran the setup.exe after unpacking everything into a temp folder and then it said "cant locate FS2000" so i pointed it to the root folder of FS2004.It defaults to just C: i noticed so maybe installing it into root harddrive is a problem.

I've followed all directions stated. When I try to create new database or recreate one, it starts the scan and then crashes. This is with FS9. Dave Vega

Dave,I think that is what happened to me also.It was a few nights ago but now that you say that I think tha'ts what happened.Then I installed it into fs2k2 and it created the data base.Then I copied the navdata folder(I think that's the name)into fs9.I still don't get any info under airports or vor etc.Says inop.I probably don't have it installed in the right place.I wish someone that has it working would respond with how exactly they did it.Ron

Me too. In my case I can see the flight plan's magenta line, and I can see other traffic, but I can't see any other surrounding VORs, airports, etc. Dave Vega
