  1. The LNM is very flexible tool, so you can import your airports as userpoints (type "airports") and then display them on the map 😎 For more about CSV format for LNM you can read at point 28.5 of manual: https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/3.0/en/USERPOINT.html#csv-data-format I hope this helps you 🙂 Regards, Piotr
  2. Hmm, in my LNM installation there are displayed coords and elevation level when hoover over given point. Have you installed GLOBE Offline Elevation Data database? The description about it is in LNM manual, here: https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/3.0/en/GLOBE.html I hope this helps you 🙂 Regards, Piotr
  3. I think you can easily add this VOR as the userpoint by choosing the VOR type in the list. More can be found in the LNM manual under Section 26. Userpoints and subsection 26.2: How to Add Userpoints. I hope this helps you 🙂 Regards, Piotr ps. I forgot about the link 🙂 , here it is: https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.8/en/USERPOINT.html#
  4. I guess you probably updated the XP11 but didn't update LittleNavmap simulator database. You have to reload library scenery, it's described in point 51.3 of LNM manual, here: https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.8/en/SCENERY.html I hope it helps you 🙂 Regards, Piotr ps. general info about LNM navigation databases is available here: https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.8/en/NAVDATA.html
  5. 1) NATs explanation: https://occ.ivao.aero/assets/docs/guides/APCGTNAC_EN.pdf 2) NATs daily report: https://www.notams.faa.gov/common/nat.html 3) Skyvector: https://skyvector.com/ IMHO the best option in your situation will be Skyvector map. When you open it, try switch to WorldLo or WorldHi map to see navigation points, then enter to "Layers" and switch "NATs" on (Pacots are also available there). Then you can see enter and exit points from the given tracks. When you'll make right-click on the given point it should display GPS coordinates - what you can use to define your userpoint under LNM. That's all, I hope it helps you 🙂 Regards, Piotr
  6. It's not a LNM problem. You can install any previous LNM version, but it won't work correctly as it's a problem with the FAA charts project. FAA charts were abandoned on the other side (in the last year, if I remember well), and that's why Alex decided to give a warning message. There are more threads about this; look at posts from 2023. Regards, Piotr
  7. You can also use free SKYVECTOR - where are all airways from the current AIRAC database, and then manually add points to the flight plan 🙂 Regards, Piotr
  8. It seems you haven't enabled the "show route" option. Click the button on the right of the yellow star (userpoints) to enable "show route" option 🙂 Regards, Piotr
  9. So, it's not necessary to draw the whole ARC on LNM's map. If you know this technique, you can only choose the entry and exit points in the flight plan and then manually perform whole ARC-DME in simulator 🙂 Regards, Piotr
  10. I'm afraid there is no special tool to draw ARINC procedures. I use circle and measure tool to find circle arc and angles, then manually make route points. It's only an approximation but similar like IRL, when ARC-DME is performed manually with no FMC guidance (GA flight, or old school vintage airliner for example) it's very hard to fly an ideal circle arc :) Regards, Piotr
  11. AFAIK the parking spots aren't indexed in LNM. But when ATC gives you instruction how to taxi, you can follow along taxiways on LNM map and it's easier to find proper parking spot 🙂 It's my method when I fly online. Regards, Piotr
  12. A moment ago I've made some experiments, and I think it's caused by performance parameters in the aircraft profile, so it means the chosen aircraft isn't able to perform this leg. It's because the whole route is only ~6NM long, aircraft has to climb ~1400" up and descent ~1400" down (airport altitude is ~629"), LNM calculates climbing and descending distances based on aircraft performance profile and when isn't able to calculate TOC and TOD, it gives default altitude, in this case 11500" on my side. If you make a fake profile for very slow aircraft with good climbing rate, everything should be OK. Example aircraft performance profile that I've made for these experiments: SUPER ULM - average climb speed: 60kts, avg. vertical climb speed: 600fpm, cruise speed 90kts, avg. desc. speed: 60kts, avg. vert. desc. speed: -600fpm When you set such an aircraft as above** (before importing flight plan from PLN file), your flight plan will be read correctly in LNM with correct altitude 2000ft I hope it helps you 🙂 Regards, Piotr ps. **of course, any other aircraft will be also OK if only will be able to perform this leg 😛
  13. I've got an idea, but never try this kind of trick, so don't know if it'll work. Maybe it's possible to download** from the NOAA weather service manually grib and METAR files to fake XP11 directory and then load them to LNM using XP11 settings in LNM? I notice there is also possibility to load real weather from XP12 directory, but there is more grib files there (LR changed weather engine), so XP11 solution seems better. Does LNM check only winds in .grib and METAR in .txt file from XP11, or it is necessary to download/create another files in fake XP11 directory? Regards, Piotr **downloaded files can be kept in archive, so possible have real weather from any archived day 🙂
  14. I'm sysadmin and using Bitwarden with strong passwords, even don't try to memorize these ... 🙃 Regards, Piotr
  15. After using it for a while, I can say that version 3.0.1 seems more stable than 3.0.0 (the latter did crash a couple of times). Here the same environment as usual - Fedora Linux (F39 now) with the latest kernel. Regards, Piotr PS: I've changed the name of the account because I am unifying the names of my accounts on different sites, but it's still the same person 😁
