March 10, 201313 yr Here is another one, already a long time around. I think it contains more data. http://www.aero.sors.fr/navaids.html Location: Vleuten, The Netherlands, 17.3dme SPL 108.40 | Simulator: FS2024 System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro
March 10, 201313 yr Hello Folks I am tempted to try and update these navaids (although I am perfectly happy with how my sim is performing now even with the outdated nav info).By using these update packages am I potentially setting myself up for CTD woes? If I am then I will continue to fly with my highly unreal as it gets but works setup. Cheers Andy

March 10, 201313 yr Until there is clarity over this question ,I will adopt the 'If it ain't broke' policy. cheers Andy
March 10, 201313 yr No issues Andy.. OK Thanks But!!! knowing my luck. :rolleyes: By the way ,I use (and couldn't do with out FSNavigator) .If I do update the Navaids ,should I re-run the database creator within FSNav? Cheers Andy
March 10, 201313 yr Commercial Member Sorry it's been years since I used FSNav, hopefully someone else can help with that. Cheers Rob Prest
March 11, 201313 yr There are no problems at all with updating navaids. Ensure that your afcads and ils's also comply. Updating is essential if you use the latest airads for constructing flightplans. You may also need to add waypoints etc that don't exist. FS9 Facility Editor.exe Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
March 11, 201313 yr As far as I understand, the update suggested in post #3 replaces the generic scenery files "AP******.bgl", at least in western Europe, making no difference between the FS2004 stock files and already modified ones (many add-ons replace these files with their own modified version...). Is this correct? I'm a little reluctant to change FS2004 stock files; but having up-to-date navaids should be worth it. As everytime I install something new, I will do into a sandbox first.
