No airports in database?

[jrs182p 23]

Hello,

 

I have the latest airac installed from navigraph which shows up fine in the FMC on the first page, but when I type in any ICAO on the pos init page it says 'not in database'. Ive tried various icao codes including EGLL and it still says not in database.

 

Whats confusing is that I'm using the pmdg 737 and the fmc works fine with the installed navdata. I thought both aircraft read the navdata from the navdata folder within the PMDG folder. I'm confused!

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

I've just tried reinstalling the T7 but no change and I just pulled this from the logfile

Reinstalling rarely - if ever - fixes things. The first thing you should do is reach out here, or via our official support system (linked in my signature).

 

In your case, all you needed to do was delete the Runways.DAT file in the PMDG > NAVDATA folder. It will rebuild on the next sim launch.

Thanks for your reply Kyle.

 

Agree'd but I was clutching at straws to get it working again!.

 

I've had a look in the PMDG/NAVDATA folder and there doesn't appear to be a Runways.DAT file.

 

I have airports.dat and ARPT_RWY.dat and a few .txt files.

Hi, Joe,

Please see this thread.  It's the same issue (file and file location are the same for FSX & P3D):

Kyle, can we get a sticky posted on this? 

 

Thanks,

Hi, Joe,

 

Glad to help!  The ARPT_RNWY.dat file is only used by the 777.  That's why the NGX isn't affected even though they share the same nav data.

Welcome to the forum, we are glad to have you here! For future reference, PMDG require full names in posts, first and last. 

Have you submitted a ticket? Deleting the runways.DAT file didn't fix it for you?

Hi, Not_a_Pro,

Exactly what error are you getting, and at which airport(s), which  aircraft and which sim?  The file you want to delete is ARPT_RNWY.dat.
