I subscribe to Navigraph and downloaded the most current data.

 

[ident]

NavData=AIRAC-1504

OpProgram=APR02APR30/15

CoData=JEP-1504

 

When I bring up the FMC I get a message saying "Navadata out of Date"

 

Can someone tell me why?

What was the date in the sim at the time? If the date in the sim was outside the current airac's range then you'll get that message.

Maybe this will help you - http://forum.avsim.net/topic/465680-current-airac-cycle-still-yields-nav-data-out-of-date/?hl=%26quot%3Bout+of+date%26quot%3B#entry3209651

I usually do not use saved flights as a starting point. But, when I do, often after saving the flight, I will open the .FLT file in a text editor and remove the section about "date/time/season". With that section removed, when you load the saved flight, it will use the current date and time from the computer.

Where do I check the date of the sim? If it is the date of the computer then I am in the correct date range. I am using a save flight and took Dave's suggestion and updated the flight to todays date and still I get the out of date range message in the FMC

Menu WORLD item TIME and SEASON after you load the flight.  It will indicate the simulation time in the aircraft's time zone.

The time is set for the month of April which is the current cycle I downloaded. Can't understand why I would get that message. Oh well I'll just have to keep using the clear key

Check the navdata files.  First, you should not have a PMDG\FMCWP folder.  Several cycles ago, the navigraph data manager had a little P3D bug and it has been fixed but it's an easy check.  Second, the files in PMDG\NAVDATA include fmc_ident.txt and that is where the PMDG FMS gets it's navdata date. You never mentioned if the FMS IDENT page has the correct cycle and it is just an error in the message or the incorrect cycle data is displayed.

I do have a PMDG\FMCWP folder. I just deleted it.     No more out of date message. Thank you very much!!!!!

But!!! when I download the new cycle from Navigraph it still creates the FMCWP folder

Please post a note at the Navigraph forum, Stefan checks this often and the feedback will help him improve the product.  Meanwhile, just move the files from FMCWP to NAVDATA and you should be good.

Don't delete, you need the files in FMCWP but PMDG is going to look for them in NAVDATA.  FMCWP is used by the FS9 NG. Be sure you have selected the FSX NGX and not the older FS9 product in the navdata manager.
