Airports Database Scanning

[rofler 1]

Hello all,

I am trying to get the moving map to work.

Unfortunately the 747-8 is not recognizing my default p3d scenery.

When scanning I am receiving FAULT messages without the moving map working.

Please help 🙂

Uncheck the FAST SCAN.  Is this in P3Dv4.3?

[rofler 1]

Yes, P3D v4.3.

Unchecking FAST SCAN unfortunately did nothing. Left it "scanning" for 10 Minutes without success.

I have the impression that the 747-8 does not recognize my P3D default scenery - Is there any chance to "delete" some files to get it rebuild?

 

EDIT: My BGLMapAddons.txt file in ../pmdg/efb/efb database is populated correctly. Sample: EDDF;FRA;Frankfurt-Main;Frankfurt-Main;Hessen;Germany;D:\GAMES\P3DV4\ECOSYSTEM\AEROSOFT\MEGA AIRPORT FRANKFURT 2.0 P3D V4\SCENERY\EDDF_AFX-OP06.BGL;13123

Do you have a BGLMapDef.txt file in the [Your P3D installation folder]\PMDG\EFB\EFB Database ?

When you hit the SCAN button what happens? You should the folder names that are being scanned at the bottom of the EFB screen below the "Updating Airports Database" line. You see nothing there?

Can you check if the above BGLMapDef.txt file or the folder it is contained has read-only permissions?

Hi again,

I did a complete reinstall of P3D v4.3 and now the EFB gets the data correctly. My "new" issue tho is that I can't see the airport charts on the PFD with APT ticked and the indication on top (APT Range 0.5) is visible. No taxiways, nor runways are visible at both the stock initial P3D airport nor on the Aerosoft EDDF P3Dv4 addon.

Any hints maybe? Do I have to load an entire flight plan through the ACARS first in order to see the moving map?

Please sign your real name first and last as per forum rules.

Have you setup the airport you want to see at the FMC RTE page?

For the map to be displayed you need the airport set to the RTE page as origin or destination

APT selected and small range

That might do the trick - I will report back as soon as I tried it.

 

Wilco on the the first and last name 🙂 Thanks for the hint and btw - great tutorials on youtube, Olympic260 😉

Just to give you an update:

 

Everything works now perfectly fine. Had to reinstall P3D V4 and set the airport in the RTE Page on the FMC. Topic can be closed 🙂
