Just purchased Navigraph yesterday for use with X-Plane and Sim Brief. On an iMac running X-Plane 11.50. Does anyone have any simple instructions? I have downloaded Navigraph to the hard drive but it’s not working. I moved it to the X-plane folder as well as moving to the 777 folder but it still doesn’t do anything. I am not getting the window after the installation that says select add ons. Andy ---

Hi Ian, I am having a challenge getting this installed properly. Somehow I was able to download the charts but the primary reason I wanted Navigraph was for the current AIRACS. I have downloaded and installed the navigraph-fms-data package. After the installation is complete the scanning window does not appear like it does in the videos. I am using an iMac. I fly the Flight Factor 757, 767 and 777. Best Regards, Andy Andy ---

You wouldn’t happen to have any step by step directions for a dummy like me? ---

Hi Ian, I got that the first time but I fixed that. If I am understanding correctly after the install is completed I am supposed to see a screen where I can select add ons so Navigraph can scan. I don’t see that. All I see is Installation completed and that’s the end. I don’t see that. When I open simulink ( which I don’t think you even need for a MAC) it asks me to select a path. When I select a path it says it can’t find it. Andy ---

Hi Andy, As I mentioned you run FMS Data Manager , using whatever method you choose to run your Mac apps. I use launchpad. > [@Ian](#): > > In launchpad select FMS Data Manager: The initial Scan may take quite a while. Once finished you should show X-Plane and X-Plane430…FF757… ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/1X/d0babcd3167cf711e7c2a1c296c2ff77b800c72b.jpeg) You select and download these in _Addon List_ Cheers Ian ---

Hi Ian, I am just not having luck with the install. I even called Apple for their assistance. The representative I spoke with is and X-Planer as well and said he has not been able to install it either. He sent men this link. [https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/198522-simlink-on-mac](https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/198522-simlink-on-mac) I am going to show the screen shots and what I did with them. I selected yes on this one and it’s now scanning. ![Screen Shot 2020-12-15 at 3.08.41 PM.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/1X/0a141ac743e89833dd3d30a5616a5cfd07d422d5.jpeg) Then after the scan this is what I see. I’ve click all the add on buttons and it doesn’t show anything. Help!

Hi Andy, Please power down and restart your Mac. Do you have Big Sur installed? We have two products: 1. [Charts for macOS (which also includes Simlink needed for Moving Map)](https://navigraph.com/account/downloads/charts) 2. [FMS Data macOS](https://navigraph.com/account/downloads/fmsdm) These are quite separate and have no requirement for the other to be installed or running. Lets focus on the FMS Data macOS only. As above when you run FMS Data Manager, are prompted for _Scan_, please agree and wait for _Scan_ to complete. This may take up to 10 minutes. Do you now have X-Plane and X-Plane430…FF757…detected? If so press _Save_ and in _Addon List_ select these and download? Please advise. Cheers Ian ---

I have done this a few times today. When it’s scaring I see those items appear. Unfortunately when the scan is finished it says it hasn’t detected anything at all. After the scan is complete I check the add-on list mapping etc and there is nothing listed. ---

In FMS Data Manager _Settings_ , for X-Plane 11 path browse to where your x-plane app is located. Press _Save_ In Addon Mappings press _Scan_. This may take a long time. Please wait till finished. Do you now have X-Plane and X-Plane GNS430…777…? If yes, press _Save_ In _Addon List_ choose X-Plane and X-Plane GNS430…777…, and press _Update_. You should see the download and install in progress in status at bottom left of screen. Cheers Ian ---
