Switching LNM between AIRAC cycles

Recommended Posts

I wish to preserve my current AIRAC cycle (2112) in Little NavMap for use with FSX (it's the last cycle for which FSX data was updated by FSAerodata), while enabling me to use future cycles for MSFS as they come available - I am only just starting to use MSFS, so still use FSX a lot.

Having looked at the files in the little_navmap_db directory it appears that the Navigraph data consists of 3 files: little_navmap_navigraph.sqlite, cycle.json and cycle_info.txt.
Is it enough to save copies of these 3 files for each AIRAC cycle, and switch them in and out as required?  I am happy to do this manually, but may use a script instead - or is there an easier way?

Many thanks,
Martin

PS  You may gather from the above that Little NavMap adds greatly to my flight sim experience and enjoyment 🙂

Hi Martin,

Database files are explained here in the manual: https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/FILES.html#databases

The fsAerodata is read from the FSX scenery library and stored in little_navmap_fsx.sqlite only.
Data installed with the Navigraph FMS Data Manager is in little_navmap_navigraph.sqlite.
Backup both files if in doubt.😉

And thank you for the kind words!🙃

Alex
