November 11, 20205 yr My "update" went smoothly ... but, as with previous patches, it appears some things get fixed while other (previously working) things get broken. My typical departure/arrival airport is Auckland, NZ (NZAA) and I'm surprised to see all my ILS approaches have disappeared. I don't use the rolling cache and I've tried with and with out all Community add-ons - and after numerous sim and PC restarts. Anyone else losing any approaches? Is there any way I can force a Navdata refresh/reload? Adam.

Hi Adam, I've loaded into NZAA and have the following approaches: VORDME 05R W VORDME 23L W LOC 05R W RNAV 05R T RNAV 23L S RNAV 23L U RNAV 23L V RNAV 23L W RNAV 23L X RNAV 23L Y Checking with Navigraph charts - These seem to be correct and there isn't any missing from what I can see.

November 11, 20205 yr Author Thanks, Matt ... I used to have ILS approaches listed - however, should I be using RNAVV or VORDME instead? Adam.

You could probably use RNAV in this situation. Looking at the Navigraph charts again - It seems like this could be due to work taking place within the latest AIRAC month. As it states the following: It's possible the ILS approaches may return in the next AIRAC update assuming the work has been completed and they bring them back online.

November 11, 20205 yr Author Matt - what an amazing source of info you are! Thanks! I seem to remember seeing a story in the news that NZAA is using the "down time" caused by COVID to push through some runway upgrades. It's possible that the current AIRAC is [correctly] reflecting that scenario. There's realism for you!!! Adam.

December 20, 20205 yr I am now missing all approaches to KSEE and KFHR - Navigraph shows them but when either airport is my flight plan destination and I click on PROC while in flight I find No Approach listed for either airport - they are my two favorite destinations and I have used the approaches to each of them many times - UNTIL the most recent update KSEE LOC-D to Rwy 21 or RNAV (GPS) RWY 17 were two I have used extensively KFHR RNAV (GPS) Rwy 34 was my usual approach there Navigraph says it's charts are up to date I find approaches for other airports while using them as a destinations How do I verify what database (airnc?) is being used by the sim?

Likely during the update it injects fresh into MSFS. Because I was missing Navigraph approaches in MSFS before I did it, and they were back again after I did it.
