Airac not installing in Feelthere Ejets SP3

Navigation Data General non MSFS data
1

Greetings,

I have upgraded my feelthere ejets E175/195/170/190 to the new
sp3 version for P3D v4.5 and after trying to install the airac cycle 2016
using both the Navigraph FMS data manager and manual install the installation
is not working. I am doing both these applications if Admin.

When I check the Nd folder all I have is cycle_info.txt, cycle.json, and nd.db3 files.
When I load the plane it defaults to the 1 June - 30 June 19 cycle

I would appreciate any help as the Feelthere support says it is a problem with
the Navigraph installer so I thought I would ask here to see if you can
help with this

Thank You
Gene

Hi,
sorry for the delay of this answer. A collegue of mine and I, we have spoken in the morning about this posting and I have told him, that I will answer. Sorry for that.

Can you told me, where you have find the data files?
Also, when you open the cycle.txt file (simple with a notepad or similar else), which cycle number you see in the file?

Thank you and sorry again
Richard

Greetings,

Thank you for your response.

I can not find the data files anywhere. In the folder where they should be there is only 4 files.

  1. a long number file with the ext of .index
  2. cycle.json
  3. cycle_info.txt which is
    AIRAC cycle : 2106
    Version : 2
    Valid (from/to): 17/JUN/2021 - 15/JUL/2021
  4. nd.db3

There are no other files that I can find that should be there like
waypoints.txt
navaids.txt
airports.txt

I have run both the FMS data manager and the manual installer with
the same results.

Thank you

Hi,
the files are correct - the Embraer E-Jets v3 series uses the ND.db3 file. What is your Feelthere-root folder?
Cheers,
Richard

Greetings,

My feelthere planes are installed in
C:\Users\Gene\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\FeelThere EJets

Ok, thanks and in this path you have a folder called “Nd” - and in this folder you have found the files above, correct or not correct?

Cheers,
Richard

Greetings,

That is correct
C:\Users\Gene\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\FeelThere EJets\FeelThere\Nd

No, that´s not correct … you have Feelthere EJets\FeelThere\Nd … the Nd folder must directly under Feelthere EJets … there is a Feelthere to much. Move the Nd folder under Feelthere EJets

The correct path should be in your case:
C:\Users\Gene\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\FeelThere EJets\Nd

… in this folder, all the files must be located, then it´s working.

Cheers,
Richard

Greetings,

I will move the folder and try it. I was sure that it had to be something
that maybe that I had done either setting the install path or whatever.

Thank you for your help it may be a while before I can load the plane but
after what you have told me I feel good that it will now work.

Again thank you.
Gene

It should work Gene … take your time, no problem but please let us know the result :wink:
Thank you very much,
Richard

Greetings,

I just loaded up the E175 and I am still getting the same result.
The active database is showing 03Jan 30Jan 19
I checked and the path to the nb folder is
C:\Users\Gene\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\FeelThere EJets\Nd

In addition I redownloaded the manual install file to make sure I had the proper one and that did not improve the problem

Thank you

Greetings,

I am going to uninstall the ejets and install them in the main p3d folder instead of where they are now and try again to update the airac and will get back to you with the new results

Greetings,

Well that fixed the problem. For some reason the install in the p3d addon
folder was not compatible with the airac installer. I appreciate all of the effort
to fix this problem but for now I will just go with the traditional installation of this
airplane as long as all works well.

Thank you again.
Gene
