11 hours ago11 hr Hello Mates,I have a Navigraph subscription and in my PMDG planes (777, 3727) I can consult Jeppesen Charts in the EFB .However in the iniBuilds A350, I can choose LIDO Charts, which I prefer.I was wondering if that is a particular case where iniBuilds has a partnership with Lufthansa (LIDO) or if I missed something with Navigraph.

11 hours ago11 hr LIDO charts are included in MSFS 24 by default (plus FAA charts for the US) Navigraph just provides access to Jeppersen, presumably because Jeppersen provides closer to universal coverage than LIDO Edited 11 hours ago11 hr by Matchstick
8 hours ago8 hr You did not miss anything with Navigraph, you missed something with MS2024. LIDO charts are the default chart option in the sim. Some Aircraft give you the option to display them in their EFB's.
8 hours ago8 hr Author Thank you very much @Matchstick and @Farlis Much appreciated.Oh man, I was not aware at all that LIDO charts are available by default in the sim!It is a pity that PMDG do not offer the possibility to opt for LIDO... Looks like they have a partnership with Navigraph... FS2024 Steam A36 Bonanza - B737-800 - A350-900

Looks like they have a partnership with Navigraph...I use the MSFS 2024 for every IFR flight. I just open the planner on my IPAD:https://planner.flightsimulator.com/landing.htmlI'm surprised that you not aware of this essential v2024 feature. MSFS 2024 is my sim choice everyday and twice on Sundays.

So there are things that I miss.But see Jose, what seems obvious for some of us, is not necessarily obvious for other 😉 FS2024 Steam A36 Bonanza - B737-800 - A350-900
4 hours ago4 hr Now all we need is for all addon devs to include the ability to view MSFS2024's LIDO charts in their EFBs.Some only provide LIDOSome provide the option to view built-in LIDO or NavigraphThen, there are still some pesky devs that only provide access to Navigraph charts in their EFB. Even though it's subscription option, and MSFS2024 has these beautiful LIDO charts, sitting there waiting to be accessed. You can of course view the LIDA charts via the MSFS2024 default EFB though. 😉 Bill 😎FS2024 • Currently in 'GA mode' : A2A Comanche 2024 & Aerostar • Black Square C208, Bonanzas, Barons, TBM850, Dukes • COWS DA40 & DA42 • FSW Legacy, C24R Sierra & C414 • Echo Falco F8L • FFX HJET, Visionjet and P180 2024 • Got Friends A32 Vixxen • FSReborn Sirius TL3000, Sting S4 and Piper M500 • Flyboy Rans S6S • Skyward Sovereign+ and DA50RG • SWS Zenith CH701, RV-10, RV-14, PC12 • Air Foil Labs Bristell B23 TrackIR • BeyondATC • PMS GTN Payware • RealTurb • Axis & Ohs9800X3D • RTX 3080 • 64GB DDR5-6000Former PPL IR, grounded by diabetes.

It's like a simple and basic pushback feature in the EFB... but no... it is of no interest to PMDG. Not everybody has GSX. FS2024 Steam A36 Bonanza - B737-800 - A350-900
2 hours ago2 hr If you have an external tablet, the charts will display just fine there, even though there is no dedicated app (yet).
45 minutes ago45 min Just an important caveat about the LIDO charts - it's only for airports which an airliner would fly into. So if you do General Aviation (and you fly outside of the USA, because FAA charts covers that area), you won't have any charts.Navigraph is still very relevant and their app is superb as well. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
