Corrupted navaids

Featured Replies

I have finally identified the cause of a recurring problem and would like to share my findings.

 

When trying to fly a SID out of EGKK without pushing the lazy-man's LNAV button, I found out that all VORs and NDBs located between W000 and W001 had their longitude sign reversed and were lying east of EGKK: MID, OCK, GWC, etc. Great when flying the BOGNA SID! Looking further south, the pattern was identical: Zaragozza airport, lying exactly on W001 had its VOR in the right place and its NDB miles away.

 

When this had happened last year, I had corrected the navaids file using H.Sors' software (great tool BTW) and promptly forgotten about it.

 

This time I dug deeper and confirmed that my installation of NL2000 v3 was the culprit. The option to replace the stock navaids with a custom NL2000 package overwrites the /Scenery/EURW/NV9EUR0.bgl file (which contains all VOR and NDB data) and somehow corrupts that narrow band, well away from the Netherlands.

 

Hope this helps. I will also post on the NL2000 site.
