Hello. I request some help to troubleshoot and fix an issue I am having with a 3rd party addon and navigraph. I am currently using the ENLX heliport (https://flightsim.to/file/94145/enlx-lorenskog-heliport) which utilizes an ILS with freq. 111.10, on a south to north approach.
With the navigraph database installed I get no ILS-info with any airplane. As soon as I uninstall navigraph the ILS shows as it should.
I have isolated the issue to be navigraph interfering with the ILS-data; after removing all but ENLX scenery from the community folder the ILS works. I then installed navigraph again; nothing works. I removed navigraph and it worked. I then installed all community addons but navigraph and the ILS works.
I managed to fix the issue by adjusting the loading priority of navigraph to -99 in the loading order tool within the SDK. I am not sure how that setting affects other airports, but fingers crossed it does not affect them negatively.
Hi,
Depending on which navigraph package you have set to -99, be aware that you missed terminal procedures for 3rd party addons because this package will be loaded first, and all others will be loaded after.
I will test the scenery later - possibly I will find a “better” solution with no further harmful effect.
Ok, I have checked the scenery, and this has nothing to do with the loading order. It´s simply a scenery issue because this scenery is not SU2 compatible. The package_order_hint attribute in the manifest file is missing, which is necessary since SU2 (here from the SDK)
When I set this attribute, the LOC works as expected, without changing anything in the loading order:
This entry is missing in the manifest file: "package_order_hint": "CUSTOM_AIRPORT"
Only this entry in the content.xmlfile is necessary for one of our packages (see the FAQ) Package name="communityfs24-navigraph-nav-jepp" active="Activated" priority="999"
This entry guarantees that the navdata package will be loaded at the end.
So, no navdata issue, simply a scenery issue - please report this to the 3rd party devs of this scenery. I hope that helps.
I am the developer of that scenery, and I was unaware of any such feature. Thanks for directing me towards a fix. But is that present both with 2020 and 2024?
Most of the 3rd party developers don´t know this … you´re not alone
No, the logic in 2020 is entirely different from 2024. ASOBO/MS changed it with 2024 SU2. In 2020, you still managed the loading order via the priority attribute.
Strange. I do not have the ILS without a specific loading order set in both sims, but I will add the attribute and check. Thank you so much for the clarification
