Since SU3, there is new loading order logic; therefore, it is essential to reset your package order when you identify the following possible issues:
- Missing airports, procedures, waypoints, …
- Legs are missing from the nav devices.
- There are third-party scenery issues
- There are flight plan import issues.
- …
For MSFS2020, follow these steps:
- Start MSFS 2020
- Go to Settings → General Options → Experimental
- Set Package re-order tool - ON
- Reset default package order - YES
- Close the sim
- Restart the sim and try it again
For MSFS2024, follow these steps:
- Settings (top right corner - the wheel) → Advanced Options
- Package re-order tool - ON
- Press Reset order - Ok
- Close the sim
- Restart the sim and try it again
What else can you try?
Delete your content.xml file. This file will be automatically recreated at the next simulation start. You will find the content.xml file in the following locations (Note: the location has changed since SU3 - it´s now in a sub-folder, with your xbox-game-tag-id):
To open the folder: Press Win + R
Copy&paste the following line (depending on your version) and press Enter:
Sim from Marketplace:
%localAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\<your game tag id>
Sim from Steam:
%appData%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\<your game tag id>
Last recommendation: always run your tests with the stock C172 equipped with the G1000 first, before switching to a 3rd-party aircraft add-on, to avoid the complexity.
PLEASE! Don´t re-order or re-name the navdata packages - since SU3, this is no longer necessary, and can result in an undefined state of the sim
Cheers,
