Hello everybody,
after updating the current AIRAC-Cycle 2102 my standard aircraft B737-800 (default) indicates a different AIRAC-status comparatively to Zibo version B737-800X. How is it possible? On the one hand (default) the valid period is notified okay, on the other hand (Zibo) the cycle-period is obsolete and the info “Navdata out of date” is shown on the FMC. Please hav a look on the pictures.
1. I actual use the Zibo version 3.42.25 because in the past I often had problems with installing
Zibo B737-800X on my apple device. As you probably know, apple doesn’t like it very
much to use and install software from unknown providers or developers who are not identified by them.
So with the Zibo 3.42.25 up to now I had a tolerably version and everything was okay with the previous
AIRAC cycles. But newly (after the actual cycle 2102) I got some problems with zibo as opposed to the
default.
2. I update Zibo by deleting the old data files in the directory structure and replacing it by the new one.
Until now the overwriting worked very well. For this reason I’m so surprised that the installation this time
failed.
3. My X-Plane root path is Macintosh HD / programs / applications / x-plane 11. After downloading XP11
installed the whole issue (folder) into the area of application.
Richard I hope for the moment my answers are sufficient for you and you can give me further details to solve the problem.
Hi Jörg,
there was a bug in the Zibo FMC because the in the last year we had 14 cycles, instead of normally 13 cycles per year. This was a confirmed bug from Zibo.
Here the link to this:
So, it´s highly recommanded to update your Zibo addon - sorry for the effort but it looks like, you have installed the navdata correctly, but you´re using an old/outdated Zibo version.
thank you very much for your promptly answer. After your precise description of the issue, I’m highly relieved in this matter.
Of course, the very first I will do - I will update my Zibo.
…Richard yes we do, we keep in touch. In the very moment I really have the problem that I described
in the previous mail: „Apple doesn’t like it to use and install software from unknown sources because of not identified developers…“ For that reason the actual Zibo version 3.46. at the time for me is not yet
available (have a look on the attached supplement).
Although I know this problem of long-standing, each time I have to start from the very beginning to outwit
the system and open the blocked files. Right now I’m not very successful - so I’ll continue tomorrow to
take potluck.
Ah understood Jörg, but this can only be fixed by Zibo sorry. They had a confirmed bug with the cycle number calculation and this was fixed in one of the updates. So, we can’t do more in this case sorry. The data are working with the newest version.
… it seems Zibo has a signing probelm with some plugins, but I’m no macOS user therefore I can’t help, sorry.
