After upgrading my navigraph database my PMS50 will only show visual approaches, the RNAV/ILS is missing. When i remove navigraph database the approaches show up again. Upon adding the navigraph stuff back the approaches are again not visable. Anyone know a solution to this? Currently i have to uninstall navigraph to load an RNAV/ILS on my pms 50.

Hi,
Do you have any 3rd-party scenery installed? If yes, temporarily remove all 3rd-party scenery and try it again…

Easiest & fastest way:

  • Rename your community folder
  • Open the Hub, install the AIRAC cycle
  • Start the sim and try it again

Which airport? Which procedure?

Thank you,
Richard

Hello,

I was using stock airports. I have also loaded an Empty community folder with only pms50 / navigraph addons installed.

I am having the issue with multiple but specifically we can use CYPE to CYEG as an example. All I can see is the visual approaches, none of the RNAV/ILS etc.

May I ask if you can check this in the stock EFB? Or in the default G1000?

PMS uses the underlying stock data, so I am curious whether you can select it on any other device.

Thanks for testing
Richard

Strange indeed. Instead of leaving it there, can someone assist me in solving the problem?

Can you upload your content.xml file, please? Also, can you take a screenshot of your Library with the navdata packages, please?

One question - do you stream all, or have you downloaded something?

Sorry for this single questions, but I try to find out why this happened on your system. Do you have the PMS free or subscription model?

Cheers
Richard

PS: sorry, thanks for the information and screenshots

I have them downloaded. I have the premium pms50. No worries, appreciate the help.

I have checked your content-file, there are a lot of packages included which are activated … so is your community-folder really “clean”, excl. our packages and the PMS?

as an example:
communityfs20-joelster-airport-cyvr-vancouver

When yes, please delete the content-file and re-run the sim and upload the content-file again please.

Cheers,
Richard

Hello,

Yes, it really was “clean”.

I didn’t know you needed to delete the file for it to update?

I loaded in and it didn’t auto update if that was the assumption.

I guess since it needs to be said, I don’t have the same working knowledge as you. If there is a step like that it could be helpful to include it :slight_smile:

Content.xml (112.3 KB)

Exactly, it should be recreated automatically through the sim after the next restart.

The correct content file is in your subfolder; did you possibly delete the wrong one?

Knowledge :see_no_evil_monkey: … I guess we are sitting in the same boat currently :wink:

Cheers
