July 9, 20232 yr Since I have started using RXP for both X-Plane 11, P3D and FSX I have noticed that many unpaved airstrips, helipads and sometimes even waypoints seem to be missing from the RXP database. I really love the functionality the RXP GNS 750 offers but I am very disappointed that so many unpaved airstrips and helipads are missing because I do enjoy bush flying and helicopter flying a lot. In FSX or P3D I can just use the crappy built in GPS to plan flights to those places that are missing in RXP. However in X-Plane 11, when I try to disable RXP on an aircraft that has RXP integration in the panels, X-Plane will crash every time so I have no way to revert back to the default Garmin unless I completely uninstall RXP which means I have no way to navigate to those missing places in X-Plane 11 aircraft with RXP integration. Why is there so many missing from RXP and is there any way to update RXP's database to add everything that is missing? I would greatly appreciate any help or advice, thank you.
July 9, 20232 yr Many years ago Garmin decided to remove minor airports from the worldwide database (I think with runways less than 4,000 feet) due to database size limitations. So it is not an RXP limitation but a Garmin one. Any GTN/GNS for flight sims that use the Garmin Trainer and databases will be affected. It is not possible to edit the official Garmin database.

Yes, but it should also be noted that there's an alternative North America database that comes with the trainer that is more complete--but only for North America.

As much as I really love the all of the amazing features RXP offers, I'm very disappointing that I cannot use RXP to navigate to unpaved airstrips because I do love bush flying. I'm guess I'm stuck using the default P3D flight planner and GPS to plan bush flights then. I don't understand why Garmin did that. I still have a question though, how do I disable RXP for X-Plane 11 aircraft that have RXP integration in the instrument panel so I can switch back to the default X-Plane Garmin for bush flights? When I try to disable RXP, it crashes the sim every time. I really don't want to have to keep uninstalling it every time I want to use the default Garmin. Thank you guys for your replies, I appreciate it. Edited July 12, 20232 yr by Kalnon
