Hello everyone,
I just did a flight with the Cessna 172 in X-Plane 12 (installed on windows 11 with latest AIRAC Cycle 2301 rev 1) around Zurich (LSZH) and used the VORs around the airport for navigation, when I noticed that I get no signal in the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) when I set the VOR for Trasadingen (TRA; 114.30), and it is also not detected in the Garmin 530 (no station identifier shown), even when I am very close to the VOR. Furthermore, the VOR icon does not appear on the ND of the Garmin 530. The other VORs Zurich (ZUE; 110.05) and Kloten (KLO; 114.85) are all detected. I also checked this with X-Plane 11 and made the same observation.
I noticed that this seems to affect only standard aircraft and those using the same navigation data. In the FF 767 (different navigation data) Trasadingen VOR is shown in the ND.
I then deleted the content of the Custom Data folder and reloaded the flight with the 172, now Trasadingen VOR was recognized and displayed by the Garmin 530. When I reinstalled the latest ARAIC Cycle 2301 rev 1 I was able to reproduce the behaviour, the VOR was no longer recognized by the Garmin in the 172.
In the FMS Data Manager all addons have green lights and the mappings for X-Plane 11 and 12 are correct and were detected automatically.
The cycle_info.txt in the Custom Data Folder shows this information:
AIRAC Cycle : 2301
Version : 1
Valid (from/to): 26/JAN/2023 - 23/FEB/2023
So it seems that the latest AIRAC cycle was installed correctly.
Does anyone have an explanation or better a solution for this observation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
