October 25, 20241 yr OK so I figured it out on my side. When I updated PMDG, loaded up sim and I discovered that EFB screen is black with logo spinning. I quit sim and went to check navigraph app. Navigraph shows all navdata for 737 need to be updated. So I updated 737s nav data via navigraph and fired sim again. After that EFB loaded just fine, I went to navdata tab and it prompted me to install navigraph data. So I did ;however, progress bar went only up to 70% and stuck. Again I exited sim, went to navigraph app deleted all nav data for 737s and installed it again. Next I launched sim again (for the 3rd time) went to EFB-> navdata tab and clicked on "install navdata" and finally third time is a charm. Everything got installed! So everything works now! Note 777 updates had similar issue . Without installing nav data aircraft flies funky so that could be a culprit . PMDG should really see it coming and either test their update thoroughly or provide some instruction of how to update properly Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

October 25, 20241 yr I updated the OC a couple days back when it was available. Installed the update. Updated via Navigraph Hub (which PMDG now says not to do). Loaded the plane, and eventually updated the data through the EFB. Everything went fine there, but if I go into the EFB, into the navdata tab, it does continuously tell me the navdata needs to be updated. I just ignore it.

Did you scan the QR code in the EFB, and update your Navigraph account info with that before updating?

October 25, 20241 yr I never got a prompt to scan a QR code. Probably because I already had the plane registered in Navigraph. I did not update via the Hub as the instructions, and instead updated through the EFB. The plane flew fine.

October 25, 20241 yr MY EFB still says I don't have the current navigraph data, even though I already updated it through the EFB, and FMC says my data is up to date. This PMDG update is turning out to be a real piece of word not allowed.
October 25, 20241 yr 6 minutes ago, DAD said: maybe this helps Hi there! Thanks. To be clear, I don't have a problem with the navdata. My plane works fine and was able to install the data successfully from the start. I just get a prompt to reinstall the navdata if I go into the tab. I'm just listing what I did and my results if anyone is interested.
October 25, 20241 yr I can't get the Navigraph update on the tablet to advance much past 75%, it just hangs. I regularly update Navigraph through the hub and did so a few days ago so maybe that is the source of the issue for me, but the option to remove the data is gone from the hub now. Whatever the reason, the time is not worth it to me and I will just set PMDG aside for these last few remaining weeks of 2020 and then reinstall when their products come out for 2024. Plenty of other great aircraft to fly. MSFS 2024.
