Hello!

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to install updated navigraph data in MSFS2020 manually? I don't use their external program (for reasons) and prefer to do it manually. I do this with XPlane and prefer the manual control.

However I haven't been able to find step by step instructions on how to do it in MSFS2020. Thanks for any help!

I believe you must use the Navigraph Beta app for MSFS.  If you have your reasons you do not use their MSFS related app then you are asking yourself this question.

sorry, not following what you're saying, can you clarify? asking myself what?

asking  you  why  dont  you use  their  installer,  its  so  simple  to use  or  ask  Navigraph  themselves on how to do it  manually

If you're referring to the individual AIRAC cycles that you can download and manually install like in other simulators I'm afraid that's not the case for MSFS. You must use the beta app. It's a very small program just for MSFS navigation data and is very simple.

i mean, that's irrelevant do my question really. In XPlane they provide an external installer, but they also provide the raw data as well for manual installation in case you don't want to download and install extra software unnecessarily. One would assume the same logic would follow with MSFS2020 which is what I was asking

Yep that's what I was looking for, the actual AIRAC cycle data to manually place in specific folders. i found an answer somewhere else that confirms what you're saying that for MSFS2020 they don't yet allow access to the airac cycle independent of the special software. 

@dresoccer4  Via Navdata Center App only. Confirmed by Navigraph.

Because you are asking how to install it when the only installer is the one you for some reason choose not to use.  A literal boomerang. Perhaps you are confusing or mixing what is available for MSFS with some prior Navigraph experience with another simulation?

I don't think Navdata Center is in beta state anymore, and it is very simple to use.

Did my first IFR flight since WU6 today from LIME to LFSB in the FBW320 (dev. version) and something was wrong with the navdata. The SIDs at LIME were completely wrong and some airways weren‘t recognized in the FMS. Now I wonder if I did anything wrong. I used the navdata center or whatever it’s called and clicked on update. Is there anything else I have to do? Any ideas?

literal boomerang? i'm not sure that means what you think it means. anyway if you read the rest of the thread you can see no confusion just clarification on the current state of the data sources (currently only available through the extra software instead of raw data like they usually do).

OK. So it is the desire for raw data that drives you.  I get that!  Did not get it at first.  I'm a proponent of opening up avionics in general (SDK) where raw data could really be put into use.  Competition breeds excellence in development!
