When using airport addons from Flightsim.to simultaneously with NAVIGRAPH AIRAC, the navigation data for the ZSPD approach in WF Scenery Studio is lost. This may be caused by a conflict with Navigraph’s navigation data.
Incidentally, many flightsim authors who have created addons for airports labeled as compatible with both FS2020 and FS24, experience the loss of ZSPD navigation data when added to FS24. Interestingly, none of the GA airports (general aviation airports without ICAO codes) I’ve downloaded have encountered this problem, which might suggest a conflict with the Navigraph addon.
After trying various XML sorting solutions, the issue persists. This means that if I want to continue using Navigraph and WF ZSPD, I have to abandon these airports addons.
Because Asobo has prioritized their own navigation database at the lowest level, Microsoft’s updated navigation database cannot provide any approach data.
The WF ZSPD has discontinued ILS data and recommends using Navigraph to supplement the missing information. I still believe that conflicts between “old” airports and Navigraph or with ZSPD are causing the loss of approach data.
Meanwhile the author on Flightsim.to replied that he doesn’t think this is intentionally caused by his plugin, so I’m reporting this issue in the hope that it can be checked.

Hi,
I´m unsure how you identified that there are no approaches for ZSPD. I have tested it with the stock ZSPD in MSFS 2024 plus our AIRAC 2501 rev.1, and I see all approaches, and I can also select all approaches.
Here are two screenshots from the Garmin device in MSFS 2024:
Sorry, we offer the approaches, and as you can see, you can select them as expected.
Cheers,
Richard
Very strange, I want to ask whether you are using the streaming version or the local version, and whether you loaded the third-party airport from flightsim.to locally. If it is confirmed to be the local version, then after this elimination, I can only think that there is a problem with my WF ZSPD file.
You also need to check that the route is displayed correctly in the EFB. In the event of an error, the approach procedure can still be loaded, but there are no waypoints.（To be precise, the error is that the waypoint in the approach procedure is lost, not the ILS procedure itself or the frequency is lost.）
Sorry, I think I didn’t describe the key point accurately. The airport with the problem is WF’s ZSPD, not the original ZSPD of MSFS24.
Maybe I should also ask WF for a solution.
Yes, because as you see, we offer the data, and the data are in place and correct.
Thank you,
Richard
