Navdata destination?

Recommended Posts

Can someone inform me of the normal Navdata destination for updating please?

I have looked through the documentation and have had no joy.

Navigraph FMC Data Manager has failed also to find it.

All help appreciated.

For some reason the Navigraph FMC Data Manager will not always find the correct location automatically, I had to set it manually too.  If you had provided which simulator you use I could be more specific; however, for any platform you need to point the Data Manager to the root directory of the simulator.  Do not point to the PMDG subfolders.  When properly set up the navdata files will be saved to ....\PMDG\NAVDATA and the sidstar files will be saved to ...\PMDG\SIDSTARS where the " ... " is the simulator root directory.

It's P3Dv.4.1 Dan.

for PMDG just set "PMDG (all products)"  to your main sim folder, navigraph will then "create" the pmdg-subfolders and overwrite everything required.. should be fine.. IF you have installed into Program Files (x86) you will have to run the Data Manager as admin, but I recommend doing so anyway...

Sorted now by using the old way of downloading and executing to the Root P3Dv.4 folder.   Thank you everyone for your help.
