FMS Data Manager not mapping/not updating Airac

I conducted a fresh re-install of X-plane 12 on my local drive desktop due to recommendations from Laminar to avoid OneDrive) All of my Navigraph tools are working except the FMS data manager. It will not detect and download the current airac cycle therefore my sim is “out of date”. When I switch to my other account profile on my windows desktop (where X-plane is not installed which I do to avoid OneDrive per recommendation from Laminar), I see the FMS data manager and it downloads the airac fine. Even though the pathway looks correct, I just cannot get the airac to update on the local drive. Please assist and thank you!! :slight_smile:

Hi Ian,
I’ve been using Navigraph for a long time and love it. I’ve never had any issues until this week. It has always functioned well and automatically mapped to the correct location. However, it has been troublesome this week. I conducted a manual map to the drive and it worked however I’m worried about why that automation has failed. I’ve done so many reinstalls but still doesn’t work as before. It also creates an “extra” x-plane 12 folder which contains the navdata resources needed for the update. I attached some screenshots for you so you can see the pathway. It’s almost like the data manger is not automatically seeing the destination for correct location. Thanks again for the help!

Hi Christopher,

Please do the steps I advised in the link.

Particularly,

  1. In Settings page, check your X-Plane 12 path (where x-plane.exe is located) has been correctly detected. If not navigate to your X-Plane folder (where x-plane.exe is located), and press Save.
  2. In Addon Mappings page, press Scan. Your X-Plane 12 and any X-Plane 12 addons should be detected. Press Save
  3. In Addon List, select X-Plane 12 and any X-Plane 12 addons, and press Update

Cheers
Ian
