New PMDG update

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.

Look at my post above regarding it. I solved this problem.

Updated and now the tablet is just blank. It's like it has no power. Oh well, I guess I will wait for the hotfix.

Curious, when you look at the EFB now, does it tell you you are up to date as far as Navigraph data?

No problems on my end. On my 4th flight with the new update. I updated as followed. 

  • Updated OC2 when they told us too. 
  • Downloaded the 737-900 update first as the others were not available.
  • Updated the remaining 737's, 30 minutes later. 
  • Ran Navagraph Hub to update all the 737's. I guess I was not suppose to do that. Had no effect as I still was prompted to update via UFT 
  • Loaded up each 737 to update the Nav Data in the UFT. All updated with no issues. 
  • I have flown the 737-800 twice, 737-700 and 900ER once. 

No issues to report.

You ever thought about posting this on their own forum, where they might actually see and respond to the issues your seeing? 

Some people post this kind of thing to provide useful feedback so that the issues are fixed. They usually do it first and foremost on the developer's forum.

Some people post this kind of thing to create negativity against a developer, and they do so everywhere, excluding the developer's forum. 🙄

Did another flight and went swimmingly.

And some people avoid the PMDG forums entirely and prefer to get thelp and discuss this elsewhere, because PMDG's own forums are extremely weird, sycophantic, and off-putting. 

The products are great and I have used them for 10+ years, great developer no doubt. But the forums are ... not the best.

If one has specific complaints and does not put them under the eyes of a developer, but spams a completely different forum instead, their intentions are fairly obvious. 

Mind you, the distinction between people simply seeking help and people stirring negativity is usually pretty visible. If you're here seeking help on something, that's very fine, but "this kind of thing" was not about seeking help on an issue one needs solved.

Time for the fourth flight, RJTT to RJTH. Nice little island hop. So far so good.

So far, I have only updated the PMDG Operations Centre. I assume that I should now update my 737-600, and then update the Navigraph data via the UFT (rather than the Navigraph Hub)? If so, it will be the first time that I have ever used the UFT :biggrin:

We are looking left and right to understand why this happens to some people, but as we cannot recreate this, it is tough. It must have something to do with the navdata set. If you are unable to solve this, we advise the following procedure:

Store version (Steam version below):

  1. Remove any installed liveries for the 737-800 from the Operations Center
  2. Uninstall the 737-800 from add/remove programs.
  3. Go too {SIM}\Community and make sure there is no pmdg-aircraft-738 folder. If there is delete it.
  4. Go to C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsof t.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Package s\Community\ and make sure there is no pmdg-aircraft-738 folder if there is delete it
  5. Go to C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsof t.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObje cts\Airplanes and delete any PMDG 737-800XXX folders if they exist

This is what they posted on the PMDG forum to fix the Navigraph update problem after installing the latest PMDG update. I am suprised they didn't suggest reinstalling MSFS 2020 and windows. 😉

Have to agree with you.

Flying it now from Cork to Belfast and loving it.  Updated easily, tablet updated navigraph and it's all pretty word not allowed good tbh.

Don’t know about the Bashers but I bought the ifly MAX th other day and updated the PMDG today.

I must say I did not experience deviations from track on sharp turns eg on approach. In fact it was a very nice experience flying EGNM ENTC today (even with high winds on landing). 
So I’m happy with it anyway, it flew really well, and it’s great to have the choice now.

Actually once I got the crazy heading departure on autopilot, everything else worked well. I updated the Navigraph data about 4 times, on the EFB, and It finally succeeded. Fingers crossed.
