It's a shame none of the new features will be available inside the sim. What a disappointment.

Do you mean the ingame toolbar does not support the new features? I have a single screen so having various features available without constanlty having to jump out of msfs is important. Thanks

This was a positive surprise as I didn't know such a major overhaul was incoming. Great new features:

• VFR map is excellent
• I like the new layout with the flight planning section on the left
• Charts can be autoselected
• Cruise alt is imported from Simbrief

The interface is quite different so I'm still getting used to it. 

Annotations? What does this mean? 

The possibility to write on charts, for eg. marking with a green line the taxiway path ground gave us. or departure freq, etc...

without in-sim, worthless update.  😞

Anyone else having issues with constantly getting logged out?

I've subscribed to Navigraph strictly for access to the charts and the navigational data.

The rest is (to me) worthless eye candy, that I can get with any of the existing apps out there.

I do my flight planning through simbrief. If I want a "visual representation" of SIDs and STARs, I can do that via the default MSFS flight planner. 

The in-game panel was clunky and unintuitive to begin with - apparently, it won't be updated because of "Asobo issues".

The Android app has been awol since September - "we are working to resolve the issue with Google".  I guess some version of the android app is back......

But the app has a shiny new coat, so there's that.

Yes, in-game you will have the same old version. To use the new features you need to use the desktop app. Check the link I posted.

Edit: I wonder why this was moved to the Hangar chat, it's important that people know about this before buying it.

I agree. What is this doing in Hangar chat?

I use a Surface with Navigraph Charts next to my sim desktop for that 🙂

Navigraph Charts 8 has just been released. Get a glimpse at the new features on this excellent introduction video by Jonathan Beckett.

There is already a thread over on Hangar Chat.....

[MarcG 2,929]

Looks great, I've never been tempted before as I mainly do Low & Slow last minute flights but this recent update has piqued my interest somewhat.

The VFR map is incomplete without the explaining charts of each airport, enough if you know already the VFR procedures of that airport and with Simlink shows you where you are, though is there a way to download the original VFR charts for each airport in the app?, I don´t find it.

 

I guess in the near future the inside FS20 Navigraph app will be updated with the new VFR maps etc., appreciated, and more appreciated in VR and the other wise tablets or EFB´s that use the Navigraph app inside them.

There are indeed no VFR charts for small airports ( with 4 letter ICAO Codes). I had expected them. Maybe they are added in the future?

Yes. Happened many times already. 

And I can't find the world map if it's there. It's probably there, as it was mentioned earlier in this thread. So I'm probably just stupid for not finding it 🙂

Good question. If it's allowed to ask this question, perhaps it's against the community rules.

Will this come with a paid Navigraph subscription or is this extra?
