Odd behaviour when updating 2024 nav data

I was just in the process of updating my nav data in the hub, when I noticed that instead of the button reading “Update”, it read “Install”. Confused, I pressed the button, and it has created two folders in my Community folder with odd looking folder names.

Checking the folder creation dates, the ones prefixed with the “}}}”, and “!!!”, are the new folders.
I was sure I already had 2501 installed, and thought this was perhaps a revision update, but that normally just overwrite the existing folders IIRC.

I checked this file, and it’s contents:

“D:\Flight Simulator\Community\navigraph-nav-base\ContentInfo\navigraph-navdata\cycle.json”

{"Provider":"JEPPESEN","Manufacturer_Long":"Navigraph","Manufacturer_Short":"NG","Cycle":"2501","Revision":1,"StartDate":"20250123","EndDate":"20250220"}

The the new file, in the new folder:

“D:\Flight Simulator\Community\!!!navigraph-nav-base\ContentInfo\navigraph-navdata\cycle.json”

{"Provider":"JEPPESEN","Manufacturer_Long":"Navigraph","Manufacturer_Short":"NG","Cycle":"2501","Revision":1,"StartDate":"20250123","EndDate":"20250220"}

To my eyes they read the same, so I’m unsure as to why it created new folders. The only difference is I installed the latest SU1 beta update yesterday, but didn’t try to update the data until this morning.

Hello! Welcome back to our forum!

This is expected with our beta AIRAC packages at the moment. See this post:

Sorry for the inconvenience! We’re trying our best to figure out how to work around the changes and limitations in the new simulator.

Kind Regards,

Sorry, I should have searched for those folder names before posting. I’ll delete the two original named folders, and relaunch to test.

Thanks for the speedy response! :+1:

Ah, hitting the “Remove” button removed all 4 folders. :slight_smile:

Yes, indeed! And the next update would have automatically remove the old folders too. This is the best we could do given our current technological limitations, unfortunately.
