I am trying to install Cycle V. 2101 R. 1 into the new PMDG 777-200ER Expansion Package for Prepar3D v4 & v5 I just bought for P3D V5.

When I try and install it into E:/Lockheed Martin/Prepar3D v5/PMDG/NavData this is the error I get.

Error: File not found PMDG.zip
Error: Install failed PMDG Prepar3D v5
+ Install success Pointsoft PRO-ATC/X 

 

There is nothing in the PMDG/NavData folder.

Is there a trick to get this installed?

Edit:

The folder where it shows the cycle is installed is actually just PMDG, it shows the version number, but it still won't install.  Just says File not Found PMDG.zip.  I've read both manuals and searched and searched.  Really frustrating because the FMC data in the 777 doesn't match everything else.

'mission' instead of 'missing' in title

So, after contacting Aerosoft, I was answered that since it is expired already (little did I realize these things are updated very frequently) the latest cycle I bought, 2101 R.1 has already expired and they discontinue access immediately.  So, I need to purchase the latest dataset to be able to install it into all my add-ons.  At this point, it looks like subscribing to the NavDataPro Complete 1/yr with Charts is the way to go.

Honestly, if you go that route anyway, get the online version, "ultimate" monthly. It comes out to around $10 USD depending on the exchange rate when it's debited. I have used it for a long time now and not only do you get the data you need, but a moving map that you can load onto the charts from another machine. I usually connect with a laptop and use the moving map for taxxing easier on the ground. 🙂

You pay for that synchronization. But of course it's much more convenient.

Here's what I was looking for. It's helpful. Thanks a lot!

happy wheels

@slope online Double-check that the Cycle data file you’re trying to install (usually downloaded from a service like Navigraph) is indeed in the correct folder and hasn’t been moved or deleted. Make sure that PMDG.zip is in the NavData folder and not in another folder or archived.
