KASE Missing Approaches

Hi again Paul,
Thanks for testing - in 99.9% it´s a scenery issue, rather than a navdata issue.

ASOBO/MS has changed the way to prioritize the loading order of third-party sceneries and third-party navdata. That means, both must be fully SU3 compatible, so that this new (by the way great) logic works correctly on the systems.

I can´t say if the 3rd party scenery is really SU3 compatible.

What does this mean (sorry, when it is a little bit technical):
The scenery must have the new attribute package_order_hint set in the manifest.json file. When you examine our manifest.json file, you will see this new attribute with our specified value.

{
  "dependencies": [],
  "content_type": "SCENERY",
  "title": "AIRAC Cycle Base",
  "manufacturer": "Jeppesen",
  "creator": "Navigraph",
  "package_version": "0.1.0",
  "minimum_game_version": "1.5.27",
  "minimum_compatibility_version": "5.27.0.112",
  "export_type": "Community",
  "builder": "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024",
  "package_order_hint": "CUSTOM_NAVDATA",
  "release_notes": {
    "neutral": {
      "LastUpdate": "",
      "OlderHistory": ""
    }
  },
  "total_package_size": "10453953"
}

This attribute must be set, because this “tells” the sim what kind of package the sim is currently loaded. Again. I can´t say if this attribute is set, but it is worth checking.

Then, it is essential and HIGHLY recommended to delete your content.xml file once. Because also here, there was a change from SU2 → SU3.

We have written an FAQ for this “reset” of the content file:

Also worth trying…

I´m pretty sure that when both “conditions” are set, the navdata are also working. I would start by resetting the content file and checking if that resolves the issue. After that, I would check the manifest.json file to see if the attribute is set. Depending on that result, inform ORBX.

Hope one of these tricks are helpful for you.

Cheers,
Richard
